In neopets [aside: yes, neopets still exists, go recover your account and feed your dang pets; end of aside] there is a random event that can happen as you play where members of the Kiko Lake team are "fundraising" to go to the Altador Cup. The way they fundraise is by stealing an item from your inventory.

This is permanent and irreversible, and has even happened to items for which players have paid actual real-life dollars (about which support's response can be summed up as "lol sorry"). Of all of the negative REs on the site, Kiko Lake is by far the worst, and so #drainkikolake has become a bit of a player rallying-cry.

I wonder if something like project management might be a good fit for you. Or perhaps some sort of social services.

In any case, I think most people work any number of different jobs before settling on a career path, and sometimes trying things out is the way we find what we'd like to do. And when thinking about a long-term direction it's less important to "love" the work than to choose sometimes that will be sustainably intellectually engaging for you and that you feel is worth doing, and worth doing well.

In May my spouse and I are going away together for a few days without the kids for the first time in a decade.

The tulip and daffodil leaves are emerging in our gardens and soon we will have flowers.

Our church is starting up again this week & I love choir.

The username might be a clue here.

I use an app called ReadEra which I like very much. I use the free version but it looks like the premium version does what you're looking for: it can sync via Google drive and you can upload your own fonts. (Premium is a one-time $20 payment, not a subscription.)

How old is your sibling?

Making squares into a blanket is a great way to do it :) And the squares themselves can be very satisfying just because they go from casting on to finished so quickly. It's nice to have something that works up fast, especially if you've got bigger things also on the go.

Here's a close-up of part of the underside:

And you can see a little more detail here (the flowers are the centre parts of big squares for the border that I'm working on adding):

Well, I've made about a zillion baby blankets, so making a really big one didn't seem like too much of a step. Clothes, though, that's something I've yet to attempt!

Very nice! Is that bernat blanket yarn? How did you find it to work with?
