My first thought was, No, those look like Lucia's boobs.

I hope I didn't ruin your Christmas holiday tradition.

@DialMforMara My phone doesn't want me to upload pictures tonight, but I was rooting for all masto-knitters! (while knitting a cowl instead)

Irony: I started a scarf for me before I started her cowl ... she already has her cowl ... I'm not sure how long it will take me to finish my scarf (I have scarves, although not in those pretty colors).

@DialMforMara I want to thank you for #mastoKAL2017 but I haven't figured out the delicate way to say I started a project before reading the directions. "Knit-a-long?! Fantastic idea!" shortly after realizing my best friend moved OFF Hawaii IN NOVEMBER, she doesn't like cold weather, and she gave me her neck gaiter when she moved to Hawaii 5 years ago because it was gray not black. I knew black was the right color for her, but I like bright colors, so I used "Stained Glass" to knit her a cowl.

@rey I have a set of fleece Cuddl Duds https://www.cuddlduds.com/women/layer-by-collection/fleecewear-stretch.html and that's my it's-too-cold under layer. The top even has thumb slots in the cuff so my wrists don't get exposed. So soft! SO WARM!

Fleece! That is all.

@masoud Thank you! My plan is to encourage what THEY want to do (as long as they're kind to all and respect consent), but I admit to an extra dose of "hey, that's my kid!" when they make their computers sing and dance. :)

@memnus @midi_mac I have food allergies and intolerances (not all tracked down yet), so I accept and support "I don't eat that."

I took a waltz through research studies on what Science thinks is good for bodies in chicken soup, and then looked for non-animal sources. I recommend watercress, garlic, onions, red peppers, turnip greens, broccoli, oats, pulses, and spirulina. Granola for breakfast and wok veggies? Actually, I recommend what you know works for you! Rest and recovery to you both!

For my birthday, my 12-year-old (oldest) made a Scratch animation to wish me Happy Birthday, sing it, and hand me a virtual present. He cranked this out before school this morning.

Hour of Code works, y'all!

@memnus @midi_mac Like all unsolicited advice, please feel free to ignore me. I suggest lots of water, lots of rest - then more rest - followed by gradual activity, smiling, and Things That Make You Happy. Also chicken soup if you like that. Maybe a good book too? (I don't "rest" well, so some of that is projection, I admit. Plenty of water and lots of smiles are always good, though!) Heal well!

@memnus @midi_mac Woo! Y'all take care, and best wishes for recovery!

@nex3 @rey Take that Uber to get your shoes repaired.

@nivex ... and we all know how easy it is (NOT!) to get clearance to reboot a production system!

Someday I will reboot it!

@memnus @midi_mac YAY!

If you're like me (or just want to), take a deep breath, get your shoulders to relax, and maybe even drink some water.

@amsomniac Had a flashback to this http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/love_and_rockets/kundalini_express.html and now I have that earworm

@rey @gargron I see your Furlexa, and I raise you a Chippy Ruxpin: https://chip.hackster.io/chip/c-h-i-p-py-ruxpin-5f02f1

Dear server, I wanted to SLEEP, not get paged all night!

Me, most nights: My feet feel warm enough, so I don't need to turn on my foot warmer (heating pad).

I turn it on anyway.

Also me most nights: I HAD NO IDEA MY FEET WERE SO COLD! I LOVE YOU, FOOT WARMER!

And that's why I always turn on my foot warmer. There will always be many cool spots in bed, and I don't always know I need that hot spot until I use it.

Cold feet prevent me from falling asleep, so this helps with one aspect of my insomnia.

Wait ... I was doing Thanksgiving (cooking, getting paged, and eating) while it was Doctor Who Day? My calendar has its priorities wrong!
