BOO Urgent Care!
My office is basically empty, but my boss is here and the creative studio that does most work I generate is in, so we are actually getting through some stuff - just no one is in a hurry about it. Should be a good day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A client sent a list of stuff to fix/change for a web thingie I did for them. They want a detailed (and accurate) estimate of how long each item will take.
I am half brain-dead. Doing the work wouldn't be too bad, as I'd just do the items one by one. But to give an accurate estimate seems to require more thinking....
Sadly, '42' won't work, because it would take more than 42 minutes, yet 42 hours is too much....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm looking at holiday craft ideas. For next year or some such. Craftzine is crack.

Trust my rage
I am not really sleep deprived but I totally don't want to be here.
Health care has not been good to buffistas, lately.
Would it be really wrong of me to lie and say that my dr. appt will take lal day when I'm positive it won't? Because I really don't want to be here tomorrow either...

My throat hurts. If the SoCal plague has made it to the midwest, I will be very grumpy.

Kat, I am stockpiling ornament craft ideas (mac will make a new ornament each year for our tree). This year I made two gift bags using plain white lunch bags and cutting up old Christmas cards.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm so craftarded. But I was nearly seduced by the cutting tool I've seen advertised on television ad nauseum recently. It cuts pretty, decorative edges for scrapbooking, as well as perf edges. And it lights up! All for $19.95 plus s&h.
Our weather forecast is calling for six more inches of snow on Friday. WTF? We've got at least 14 inches on the ground already. When we moved up here, people were telling us how mild the winters have been and how the snow mobile trails have barely been open more than a week for the last several years. Now we get a lot of early snow and it just keeps coming.

Here's something crafty that I could do: 161. Latch Hook Skull I like that it was made from two latch-hook puppy kits:
I bought a pre-existing latch hook kit of a puppy and made my own pattern using the yarn colors provided. Since the color proportions weren't exactly the same I got a second kit to have the extra yarn. I made the pattern in Photoshop by reducing a photo I took to 40 x 40 pixels and then saving it as an 8-color gif (with manually adjusted the colors to reflect the existing yarn). I enlarged the result and printed it out and then used it to determine each strand as I went. The total production time was around 9 hours (which I believe makes it the most time consuming piece yet) and actually gave me a migraine headache near the end, which I had to sleep off before I could complete it!
