totchipandaHooray! A weekend where I didn't have any plans and was feeling quite well! What amazing things could I accomplish with all of this FREE TIME?
Well first the TMI stuff. Body started its monthly evacuation on Friday, and then on Saturday decided it wanted to evacuate everything, so at least I got to stay home with my own toilet to deal with that. Dad asked me if I was going to the social group's holiday party, but it was the first I had heard the actual date. My aunt hosts, and she's really good about informing me of an event to which I am invited, meaning, the presence or lack thereof of my other parental unit, so me not knowing the date meant she was going to be there. Nope, not going thanks! Still not in a place where I can be passingly polite with her.
New coffee maker is great, just need to figure out how much coffee I can drink vs how much coffee to make. It's a rather basic machine so it has one single button and turns itself off after 40 minutes. Suits me just fine. Yesterday the last cup was rather cold already, so I made a "sweet cream" and declined to attempt foaming it (I have a maker, but it seemed like a pain since its a whole device and not just a little battery powered foamer), but it was real tasty! And since I drink Starbucks coffee at home right now (I have SO MANY packets) it was just as good as anything they'd serve me. Ha!
Other than that, I placed the pockets on the striped Seatoun skirt, added the slot seam front, attached the plackets (couldn't do the front the way it was described, it showed the hooks between skirt and placket and this fabric is FAR too thick for that), stitched on the back and prepared the waist for attaching to the belt. Needs more adjusting before it can be sewn. Summer Stroll got worked on quite a bit, I have finished the basket of flowers, minus a few pinks and a couple greens. No knitting because I forgot where my sock project was, and the two other projects I brought out were promptly inspected by the kittens. Ah well. So of course I want to cast on MORE projects instead of finishing the 6 I have going, not to mention all of the long-term WIPs I've been ignoring since the beginning of the year. The book nook kit is nearly done now, just need to do the electrics and the remainder of the decor which will be placed/glued when I no longer need to place the kit on its side.
Butter was brought out for baking, but I didn't touch it. Getting my dishes done enough so I could clear off the counter was just not happening until last night. Perhaps tonight.
Tomorrow I have an appointment to get my tire looked at. Facebook consensus was that it has come unseated from the rim and needs resetting so it stops going flat. Wednesday I have therapy and an Important Appointment (tm) in the evening to maybe get some crap sorted out. And I would like to get back to the store to finish my grocery shopping, I attempted it on Saturday but the store was very peopley so I peaced out pretty quick.
