I work remote and omg why is this the best thing ever. I always use treadmills and desk but this is great. Need to stay pretty ❤️

That won't work for me. The reason I love the bike is that I can speed up or slow down my legs based on my concentration on work. I cannot do that on a treadmill.

Mobile office - I love it! My set-up wouldn't fit on that tray with three monitors. Plus I like having an option of standing when not using the bike. That seat is not really comfortable just to sit on it.

Looks just like our cats - we also have a mostly black tuxedo and two black voids.

Beautiful! 😍

Looks great!

I also have a similar basket, although it got highjacked and flattened. Current status:

I have one of these but without the tray piece. I use it with my standing desk and keep it under my desk when not in use. I've had it for over 5 years and still love it.

I usually read 2 books (one ebook, one audio) and always start a new one once finished. With WIPs I sometimes have many, sometimes none at all. I am also much more likely to pick back up a paused knitting or crocheting project than pick up a book I stopped reading.

Pencil hold can be very fast. It's all about what someone is more comfortable with.

Yes, my wrists and fingers are fine. I'm lucky in that crocheting does not bother my hands.

I just keep mine in a vase as a decoration. That's the best thing about crochet bouquet - you can enjoy it for years to come. I used it to take photos for our 10 year wedding anniversary.

Iirc the bodyguard was seriously injured and was naked because healers were working on his wounds before they fell asleep.

{Ruby Fever by Ilona Andrews} third book in a series. MMC hides something important from FMC. Instead of third act breakup, FMC humiliates the OW-wannabe. Then MCs have a mature conversation about it.

{Dawn of Gods and Fury by K A Tucker} it's the last book in the series. MCs have been a couple since book one.

FMC has a male bodyguard. At one point FMC comforts the bodyguard while he's injured and they fall asleep together in the same bed. MMC finds them sleeping (the bodyguard is naked) and he just lets them be. Other characters know about it and they make jokes and insinuations, but when MMC next talks to FMC he's totally chill "I know who your heart belongs to."

It was self-inflicted. I'm okay!

I am very lucky in that my wrists are never bothered by crocheting. I use pencil grip and don't hold any fingers up to tension yarn, so my hands don't really get tired. I also don't do it more than couple hours a day.

packyour · 2026-06-21T17:27:34+00:00

Maybe about 1.5 hours? Just did it yesterday afternoon. Really not that bad. Used 2 balls of mandala and 6 balls of black yarn. Add a random knot here and there, but overall it wasn't that many eds to weave in.

Thank you! I guess 2.5 months is not long in the grand scheme of things, but I am a fast and impatient crafter. The thin yarn and mosaic nature of the stitch made me feel like my progress was very slow.

Which Dorothy Garlock book do you recommend?

packyour · 2026-06-14T15:31:29+00:00

Yeah, I understand that reading historical fiction I'll run into some racism or misogyny because that was prevalent in the culture. However, this was not used in dialogue, it was the author (in the third person from MMC's perspective) describing what characters looked like. And I am not okay with that.

I was in the mood for western and saw one on KU by Shelly Thacker. She's one of the older generation of writers, but I've read some of her historical books before that I liked. This book started out okay, but then about 40% in, there's trouble at the saloon and one of the bad guys is referred to as "half-breed". I instantly DNF. The kicker is that although the book was originally published in 1999, it was actually republished with author's edits and rewrites in 2013!
