Chapter 1: What is the theme of today's episode?
Denk an die Stunden.
Chapter 2: How can we combat seasonal depression?
Das ist viel von meinem Leben.
Wenn du auf die nächste Episode wartest, dann hier sind ein riesen Haufen von ihnen. Es ist, als ob du fast 12 Monate schlafen gingst und dich auf all diese frischen THT-Findungen geworfen hattest.
Ja, auch wenn du uns für einen Monat hierher kommst und dann abhörst. Und wir können eine sehr gute Distraktion sein. We can be. You know what else is going to be a good distraction? You know what else is going to be full of cheer today?
What?
This episode. Today's theme is seasonal serotonin. A couple weeks ago I had someone say, please do a seasonal depression episode. And I think the thing to combat seasonal depression, seasonal serotonin, you know, uplifting, wholesome, happy ending, could be a bumpy ride. It's not all butterflies and rainbow, I'll tell you that much, but this episode has something for everyone, I think.
It's my kind of thing.
And it's going to be really good.
I think. I hope. Okay. Oh. Oh. Oh. Yes, nobody, nobody else understands, except for me and you. So, I just wanted to share that, that there's more than one of us out there.
I think if it got dark at like 7.30, cool. That's cool. But this, like, it was sunset, sun's gone at 4.45.

Chapter 3: What is the relationship advice shared?
I wouldn't see the sun except for two days a week, Saturday, Sunday.
Yeah.
Like, that's so hard.
I get I'm on my own island on this one.
Yeah, I'm gonna do a poll. I'm gonna prove how lonely you are.
But there's population two on that island right now, okay? Okay? I'm not alone. That's all.
I don't know about this one, guys.
I'm a red flag again.
You're a red flag again. That's a red flag. Ah.

Chapter 4: What does it mean to feel seen in a relationship?
How do I change the context of the relationship when we're already so financially living together, family, etc. intertwined? What do I do?
Well, this was not the path I thought we were going down. Really? I thought it was. We started this business. I've always really fallen in love with her through the process. And I'm wondering if I should cross that barrier or not. Well, we did cross that barrier. We very clearly crossed the barrier. And we did it with no protections. Just going for it.
Hey, she could have been on birth control.
Well, sure.
Cycle tracking.
But, I mean, we really went for it.
Yeah, they were tipsy having a time.
We didn't crack that door open. That door fell on the floor because we opened that door so hard.
They put a little dynamite in front of it, for sure.

Chapter 5: How can thoughtful gifts strengthen relationships?
I feel like there's not much on Reddit you haven't seen. So anytime you pull out old ones, I'm like, have you been across this one before and it just hasn't fit?
There's a chance. Well, it is not in my Too Hot Takes Reddit Stories Master Spreadsheet, so I don't know if I've come across it.
Well.
I think it flew under the radar. But I love it. I mean, how many people out there are in love with their best friend and just are afraid to tell them, are afraid to mess it up? You could have everything you've dreamed about. Everything. It could go so well. Why not? Why not shoot the shot?
You always got to figure out the what if, no matter what it is in life. Even if it means, you know, moving away. If it means chasing this crazy random idea, but you're so inspired to do it. You just never know until you try. I know that sounds cliche, but you see sometimes, you know, the most happy people in life are the ones that just went for it.
And they're like, I can't imagine if I had made any other choice.
Yeah. A lot of people on this update too are like, ah, if only it was this easy and blah, blah, blah, blah. We have like a lot of ebonies or scrooges. And someone was like, maybe if you're attractive, laughing my ass off. And OP responds, I'm not, to be honest. I'm still in shock over the last few months. It feels like a dream.
Yeah. Shoot your shot.
Shoot your shot.

Chapter 6: What are some creative advent calendar ideas?
Kids, Ich liebe Knickknacks und sie haben so viele gute. Sie haben kleine Crochet-Kits am Dollar Tree oder der 99-Cent-Store, Dollar General, was auch immer es in deinem Bereich ist. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Top Comment. Okay. Oh cool, yeah. Okay. Okay. Thank you so much for your suggestions over the last week. As I mentioned in that last post, I'm not going for a full 24 days worth of gifts.
Because, as I'm sure you are all aware, this stuff gets expensive. I'm going to begin collecting slash ordering all of the items this weekend. So if anyone has any last minute suggestions to make this better, I would appreciate it. Below is my plan. Day 1. Project Bag. I plan on putting all of the other wrapped gifts inside of the bag and then wrapping the bag itself.
I'm literally switching bag to bag. The wrapped job on the bag itself will be bad. I accept this. Day 2. Crochet Tension Ring. She mostly keeps the tension by gripping with her hand. But I figure that if she doesn't like this, it costs $5. So who cares? Day 3. Curved darning needle. She mostly darns with a crochet hook, so I'll see if this helps her at all. Day 4.
Stitch markers that I made myself. I make chain mail as a hobby, so I knew that I had to include something that I made myself in there. I might replace the clasp with a proper lobster clasp once I make it to the hobby shop, but this is all I had time for. And OP does include a picture. All of our crocheters are really going to appreciate this.
Yeah.
But that in itself is like a little art. I love it. Day 5. Magnetic Yarn Holder. She unwraps a ton of yarn every 20 minutes and spreads it across every surface within her reach. Maybe this will keep her more organized. Day 6. Crochet Sticker Cards. She first learned how to crochet slash knit at her grandmother's knee when she was 5. Grandma is now 95.
But I bet that getting one of these cards will put a smile on her face. Nice. And it's just really cute. It's like a little card and then it has a pattern on it. It almost looks like it's meant to make your own ornaments for your house. There's like a snowflake, an angel, a stocking, a gingerbread, an ornament present. So that is really cute. Day 7. Clover Crochet Hooks.
Good quality crochet hooks that several people suggested. Who am I to argue with it? Day 8. Hairpin lace tool. Something to give her some new ideas of things to make. Day 9. Homemade, made by hand, tags. This was suggested a few times and I found some that I think are funny. Day 10. Retractable measuring tape. She often measures lengths using her flattened palm.
Maybe she'll want more precise measurements. Maybe not. Tag 11. Tag 12. I'm so sorry, crochet people. Tunisian crochet hooks. Another thing to get her to expand her repertoire a bit. If she doesn't like it, then I've wasted a few bucks. Day 13, lotion bar. She often needs lotion, but doesn't use it much. If I can put a bar in a project bag, maybe she will use it.

Chapter 7: How can we support our partners’ interests?
Oh yeah, that stuff stinks. It stinks.
I wonder if it smells like the fly traps.
Oh my gosh. You guys, if you ever go to a horse stable, I just want everyone to be able to experience it because it's the worst, most putrid smell.
Probably one of the worst out there.
Es ist so schlecht. Ich meine, es ist rotierende Pflanzen. Es ist so schlecht. Aber wir kaufen diese kleinen Pflanzentrappen. Du spielst das Wasser rein mit Pflanzenschutz, Gemüse, was auch immer. Und du steckst es auf und die Pflanzenschutz gehen rein und sie können nicht wieder rausfliegen.
Also, bis zum Ende dieses Pflanzenschutz- oder Pflanzenschutz-Leibes, gibt es leicht 100, 200, in der großen Reihe, Pflanzenschutz. Und je nachdem, wie viele Pflanzenschutz du hast. Der Geruch... I mean, I don't know what else I could tell you it smells like, but this is a seasonal serotonin episode, so I don't want to hit you too hard.
Skunk smells good comparatively.
I would agree with that.
I would agree with that. It's funny because sometimes I go out there and I'm like, oh my god, Konya or Smarty, you guys stink. And then I realize, I look behind me and I'm right by the fly shop. I'm like, oh, it's not you guys.
