I am making a very large scarf and Tally has been all over it. She cannot understand why she can’t attack it, lick it until it’s fuzzy, or generally freak out on it. She’s very disappointed her input is not being taken.

I am not the greatest with yarn arts, but I like to crochet because it gives me something to do with my hands besides pick at my cuticles when I am nervous. I haven’t really done a lot of it since before I transitioned to male, so I don’t actually look forward to dealing with the extra attention as a man who crochets if I take it out of the house with me.

I think knitting, crochet, and sewing are so very unnecessarily gendered. I like it, and I am not giving it up just because I look like some random cis dude these days.

I can put holes in my doors!

I have rented pretty much my entire adult life, and having a house I own lets me do so much. Today I put up a hanging ceiling lamp, and punched three holes in the ceiling. Don’t ask, mistakes were made! However, when I was done, I just sparkled it back up and when I touch up the paint, you will never be able to tell. I’d have been terrified to do that in a rental.

Hell, I just put cat doors in my bedroom and living room doors. (Our layout has no real living room, so one of the bedrooms is a living room.)

My cat can now come and go as she pleases. I have always wanted this, but you certainly can’t do that in a rental. Being able to make my house weird is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
