1. I decided to get ultra-crafty again a few weeks ago. Took a bit, but this is all finished. I have 3ish more to do before the weekend's up. (Tutorial here)
2. I understand that there are people in the world with actual problems. However,
I sliced my finger open Sunday night, and Scott said, "Eh, no. Doesn't need stitches." ...I woke up Monday morning with my hand covered in sticky, dried blood. Which was delightful. The only task more fun than showering one-handed? Typing.
Actually, right before Thanksgiving dinner, he superglued it back together for me and it feels SO much better. I should've listened to him dayssss ago.
3. When anyone turns on a fluorescent overhead light in my presence.

The connection didn't hit me at the time, but the day before I had also written about how bad I was running errands...simply because I'm lazy.
However, there is one chore that I MUST do regularly: clean the floors. Nothing makes me crabbier than dirty floors. I mean, if you want to make me see red, stand over my just-vacuumed floor and drop some crumbs. Also, when people walk on living-room/dining-room carpeting in their shoes, I shudder a little bit. In our house, with our white carpeting, I end up shuddering a lot.
5. Thank you all for reading/commenting on my fitness post this week. A note about the Plank-a-Day Challenge: It's the easiest fitness challenge out there. I do it in my pajamas half the time. Start at 30 seconds and keep adding 15-20 a day. I only picked 3 minutes to start at because that's what Allie did. Now I'm up to 5! And I swear I could go longer, but it kills my arms. I usually stretch up into a downward dog pose on the minute mark for a few seconds. Is that cheating? Eh, maybe.
Scott told me I need to start doing planks on my elbows because I'm putting a lot of pressure on my shoulders. I agree. How do you do a plank?
