what a day

Today was one of those days where almost everything we tried to purchase was sold out and often earlier today, no idea why.  All mundane items like coffee, so wtf??? And dh has driven around almost all day doing errands and dropping off and fetching again ds #4, I can’t WAIT until his car is fixed and he can go back to driving himself around.

Then the news tonight is truly horrific, 3 stories with young men<26 years old dead, 2 were shot, 1 dead riding freight trains and 1 dead following a bar fight right in the downtown where I live. 

I want to go back and undo having kids, all I can think is that those young men were somebody’s beloved child. 

The freight train boy was a punk like my oldest who also rides the trains, and the story had to do with being buried alive under coal.  I am not posting any links the stories are all too awful.

I am, however, making this scarf for dd in a gorgeous shades of blue colorway:
