Photo Friday: Madness
I dunno man ¯\(°_o)/¯ my new life philosophy is that sometimes you can't think your way out of negative feelings.

If you're doing whatever you need to be doing and there's nothing actionable to think through, just let it fade away.

A person can't even write a knitting blog without getting all political. At least I can't. I should have picked something else, like scrapbooking.

I wrote this special extra post in response.

so I'm in a self-control phase that I sometimes get into in which I manage to get a hold on multiple things (e.g. diet, finances) at the same time.
