A wip is a wip in my view. And you clearly are describing very unruly and resistant last row on your socks. In my view this could be celebrated (if done) in a post.
And with the headaches... sigh, it was so bad that I stumbled into a research rabbit hole about medication and diet... and I am back out again no wiser than before as most studies contradict themselves or are not doable because of long time effects. I will think about it a bit more perhaps.
ANd the "combine horrible with horrible" was a natural for my grumpy self :-DDDD I never would have guessed this is used by other people too. But good to know I am not alone in this (I would wish you joy with this technique, but honestly it really does not spark joy 🤣)
OHHHH and holiday sounds so good!!!! I hope by know you are not sleep deprived (because of furniture) and already planning lovely things, like reading, painting, sewing etc….
I plan to also take some time of, kind of hive holiday, because I have two exhibitions in September and am behind because I have so many days on which I cannot work consistently - but this is no complain, because the second exhibition in Septmeber is amazing: I applied for an exhibition about the topic „art and myth“ and my Halien/Covid crime board/painting installation from last year got accepted. The exhibition will be in townmuseum Düsseldorf which is veryveryvery nice for me.
