back to the grind...
May. 1st, 2025 08:34 pmYesterday I was feeling much better, and it was the Monday I should have had. Alas! I organized some patterns and started putting a few things away in better places. Dinner was oven fries and I did a pan of dishes and scooped the cat box. I wish I'd had those extra two days to pursue my own things. On the plus side, it was nice being able to stay home and not have to communicate with my boss about whether or not I was going to be in that day. Ha!
I actually started writing this around 9 am and wrote one single word before I got HELLA distracted doing actual work (wth, expecting me to work at work). I felt very accomplished today and I think I remembered everything I was supposed to do. When I got off the train, I got straight in the car and went to get groceries, which I definitely could not have done any earlier this week, energy wise. There's still some things i need to get, but it can wait. I got enough to fill out my pantry and fridge for at least a few days. I've borrowed against this paycheque to do all of these things, so I can't go hog-wild. But I can supplement, and that will be ok.
Wanting to get sewing again, but first I want to finish cleaning the sewing machine I have on the table. Something else I couldn't have managed this week! I hardly know where to begin. Do I tape the pants pattern and then test it? (yes.) Do I make some more tops? (Yes.) Do I make some more skirts? (Sure!) So many options!
Saturday I have an eye exam, which I fully plan to tell them about how I need close up reading lenses. I'll be in the mall so I think I'll pop into bath and bodyworks for lotions/soaps, perhaps the bookstore, and then hit up a newly opened fabric store. There's a local shop that has cutting mats for a not-ridiculous price, and I like to support local, so I might try to find them too!
