Tense hands,
Rookie’s mistake,
Stitches need relaxed grip
Yarn makes for gorgeous scarf
Cashmere perfect
Pleasure

Badger’s Hexastitch
I think I missed Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday prompt deadline for the synonyms for loose and tight. I used relaxed and tense to describe various tension levels of how I hold the hook. I learned about a new type of poem called the Badger’s Hexastitch! What a interesting name! It is a fun variation of the Crapsey Cinquain invented by out own Badger. It simply expands the cinquain to another line and 2 more syllables.
Badger’s Hexastitch is:
- a poem in 6 lines.
- syllabic, 2-4-6-6-4-2.
- unrhymed, optional rising and falling end-words.

Testing my Nerves
Oh boy! 44 total students have now RSVP’d for this crochet class! Need to cap it NOW and split up the group and split into multiple days to effectively manage a virtual crowd.

Plexus Nerve
Last year, a friend reached out to me to share Plexus products and share some testimonials. Impressed with her demo I decided to check it out and do more research. Interested in improving my health during the pandemic, I started to use the Triplex combo which has helped me curb a lot of sicknesses that I get from allergies, colds, and the flu.

There is another Plexus product called Nerve:

FEATURED INGREDIENTS
Acetyl L-Carnitine Found in most cells of our bodies
Quercetin A powerful flavonoid found in many plants and foods
Horse Chestnut Extract An extract derived from Aesculus hippocastanum tree bark

WOW – you’re having such fun during the pandemic, way to go. Having done a bit of research myself during the pandemic, I’ve found it best to only take supplements that don’t have a lot of fillers or to just eat whole foods instead. By changing those two aspects, inflammation and illnesses have essentially gone away, not sure if it’s those efforts or just plain luck? Have you’ve looked into how the ‘other ingredients’ are harmful to us, i.e., rice flour, magnesium stearate, etc.?

Thank you so much for your feedback! I’ll never forget an episode on a crime show where a woman died from drinking far more supplements than eating real food. Whole food is definitely preferred! I’ll definitely look into any dangers of the ingredients that you mentioned! 🙂

You’re welcome. Yes – real whole food is definitely best! I was surprised when I researched more about all the additives in food and supplements. I hope you find useful information!

Awww that’s awesome! ❤️ 😊 I just started learning html and Javascript. I’m also still working on my German…but I gave up on the Irish because it’s not as well done on the app I’m using, plus trying to do both was starting to get confusing.

Oh that’s cool! It’s cool to create some projects in HTML and Javascript. Multi-tasking learning languages sounds like a tricky process. 🙂

Just curious if you have had any problems leaving comments on blogs via the app? They updated the app recently and now I can’t seem to leave comments on some blogs.

Yes! I’m able to view on my phone app, but having issues leaving comments. I’ve been having to catch up on my laptop! It’s a bummer. Might send the developers a message.
