All Dressed Up & No Place To Snow

February 8, 2019

A week ago the weather in northern Norway was in the minuses. Minus degrees. Now we’re looking ahead to the days when we will be visiting and it’s warming up every single time I look at the long-range forecast. Stop it! I am not going to the arctic in February for my tan, people! I want to see snow, glorious snow, and lots of it. Weather is quite the cruel trickster. At this rate you’ll be reading news reports of a surprising spring heat wave in Tromsø and it will probably snow in Los Angeles while we’re gone.

Packing has been a journey. Now we are re-thinking all the weird clothing choices we made just a week ago, and I also recognize that I love drawing out the vacationy goodness of every trip by spending way more time than necessary on packing. This weekend I’m going to finish up whatever new clothes I’m making and hope to have my bags packed by the end of the weekend. I’m still taking the gigantic Land’s End coat I got on ebay but I’m not certain I’ll even need it since the current forecast has Tromsø warmer than Paris was at Christmastime.

Nonetheless, I’m suuuuuuper excited for this trip and the countdown is on. Everyone at work has been in a terrible mood for about two weeks. And I haven’t been sleeping much. Does anyone else have a geriatric cats that wails mercilessly in the night? Both Bob and Frankie do it and it’s making me insane. The vet says it’s not pain or discomfort, well, not for them. For me it’s so stressful and upsetting. I have tried calming treats and calming drops and now I have resorted to trying to keep them awake as much as possible during the day so they sleep more at night. If anyone has successfully cured the caterwauling feline, please tell me how! As of right now my current cure is to take lots and lots of vacations and give my housesitter combat pay. Definitely looking forward to getting some much-needed sleep on vacation. My eye bags have bags these days.

T minus a few days yet. Think snowy thoughts for us!

Starting to take some of the improvements from the guest room and add them to my bedroom, like this cool power outlet for the bedside table. I’m hoping it helps with the constant problem of needing to charge all devices simultaneously.


Still obsessing over Sew Over It and Lisa Comfort, the lady boss behind it all. Here is her site, YouTube vlog, and Insta. I bought pretty much every pattern they have during the recent 30% off sale.


Currently reading The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. I need this book to help me but I don’t have enough time to read this book because I’m working nonstop, so…


Interested in these silica gel packets for my yarn stash. Does anyone out there add these to ziplock baggies of yarn?

Find and follow your passion is a load of crap.

Expecting to find something where everything clicks from the get go and is all good from there on out is a surefire way to never be happy.

Pursue your interests. Stay curious. Hone a craft. Passion emerges over years, not seconds.
