Well today is already A Day. I just found out I’m going to be made redundant for the second time in as many years. It’s enough to give a girl a complex.
The good news is I finished my million step challenge on Saturday, four days earlier than scheduled, because I wanted to finish in one of my favourite places and with the boyfriend (he works weekdays now).
That’s my victory pose when I realised I’d made it. Which I have to tell you here because apparently photo captions aren’t a thing any more -_-
My feet and legs are still a bit sore today, but I know it was worth it to raise some money for Diabetes UK .
If anyone is feeling particularly generous and wants to sponsor someone they’ve never met in real life (and cheer me up a bit), you can find my page here.
Thanks to the 20,000+ steps each day last week, there’s not a great deal of sock progress to show. I’m just beginning the toe on my second Hermione sock, and have only done a few rows on the Diagon Ally pair. Cue I-just-found-out-I’m-losing-my-job-quality photos:
So that’s me.

ACK I’m so sorry. That sucks so much. I really hope you find something else soon, and that you’re able to find some comfort in knitting until then.

so sorry to hear about work – how much notice did they give you? Look on the bright side – your CV must be fairly up to date, just a few tweaks and you’ll be all set to start the job-searching. Fingers crossed for you there.
And well done on your million step challenge!

About a month. I’m going to have to remember what I did there before I can update my CV, as I’ve not been doing the job for 6 months!

We must take care of our fellas. My husband loves pretzels and chocolate. I am not a sweet eater and tend more toward the greens and beans. His health has improved greatly since he met me!
