koshka_the_catA package was marked delivered in my mailbox. It's not there. I've plastered the mailboxes with notes because it was probably put in the wrong box. I hope an honest neighbor finds it.

Sep. 7th, 2026 04:46 pmkoshka_the_catI'm having a particularly bad time adjusting to this school year. I'm so exhausted. I'm glad it's a holiday.

Sep. 5th, 2026 06:27 pmkoshka_the_catWhen I was probably 9 years old, I was super excited when we got mail from Nielsen ratings. They sent you a booklet to keep track of what TV you watched and a dollar.
So today when I checked the mail and saw an envelope from Nielsen, I wondered if they still sent a dollar. And they do! And they send $5 if you do the survey!
I'm going to do it 😂

So many needy questions from students
Just one class, thankfully
But weekend...

Made it...
Sep. 2nd, 2026 06:07 pmkoshka_the_catI made it through work today. I told the kids that I was very disappointed in them and I really shouldn't have been there today, but after getting reports of how awful they were, I felt like I didn't have a choice.
All true. Last year I had kids I could trust which was amazing second semester when I had covid, eye appointments, cataract surgery, and a thyroid biopsy. I missed 13 days and they only had one bad report that wasn't even that bad. I knew I'd never have another year like that, but I wasn't ready for the reality.
Two of my clases are ok, but they need me constantly aware. The third class? Very much on top of them allllll the time. It's so exhausting!

Aug. 30th, 2026 04:15 pmkoshka_the_catI dug out the blue and white backless suit and it looks like this one is going to be about the same crotch to waist measurement. It's a similar width too. This one looks a lot smaller because it has a higher cut leg.
I'm just going to trust the pattern and if it doesn't work, just start over like I've done a million times before!

Aug. 29th, 2026 09:46 pmkoshka_the_catI did knit tonight, just two rows, and I'm nearing the end of the back of the shorts and it looks so small. In an inch or so, the binding off for the side leg starts. Then in about two inches, the center back. It'll be about 12 inches, but less than that stretched. That seems small for waist to crotch. I think the gauge is right and the measurements are close to mine, but still!
Vintage patterns...

Probably not tonight...
Aug. 28th, 2026 06:59 pmkoshka_the_catMy goal is still to knit this weekend.
Also, new record. Knocked down/into twice in one class period. One running in the door, the other backed his chair into me. I caught myself on another chair.
Three or so years ago I was knocked down the first day. This year I think it was the first week when a girl leaned back into me as I was walking by and boom. Floor
