Long weekends are never long enough

totchipandaAnd I did absolutely *nothing* and it was great.
I finished watching my Ambulance show on Friday night, so on Saturday I started watching some of the shows that had piled up while I was binging. STarting with the Witcher movie Sirens of the Deep (loved it), Frozen and Frozen II (necessary after the Broadway show) and then I took a very long nap. I noodled around the internet for a bit after I woke up and surprisingly got back to sleep not too late.
Sunday I watched ALL of Warrior Nun, which had been on my radar as a prematurely cancelled Netflix show that got a renewal or a movie? Not sure at this point, after fans made a ruckus. I was told there were queer characters. I'm not sure what I expected story-wise, but it wasn't what I got. I did like it, and there were queer characters but it was not a focus of the story.
Monday I spent the afternoon at the indie movie theatre. First they were showing The Emperor's New Groove, which got many laughs from the audience, had a yummy poutine for lunch, and then Bridget Jones' Diary for the second crafternoon! Through both movies, I managed to get my sweater's hem finished and cast it off at home with minimal help.
I love this Regalia blouse from Sew House 7 but (mumble)don'twanttobuyit(mumble)stillbudgeting(mumble) so I thought... it looks a lot like the Sagebrush top from Friday Pattern Company, which I have and have made. It has VERY puffy sleeves but is basic enough to make adjustments. I started cutting it out, but got stuck on the sleeves. How... do I make long sleeves. Yeah I could modify the one included but what if I make it the wrong length! (I am aware of how silly this problem seems.) I decided not to worry about it and it's in a pile on the table.
On Friday I also took a tour through the dollar store bc I wanted to try out reading glasses and... yeah, I need that little bit of magnification inside the 14" or so that my regular glasses cover. +1.00 brought text mostly into focus, and +1.50 had a magnification effect. Currently I'd need ones that fit over my current glasses and the store had not much choice. So I thought great, I'll just get new regular glasses with bifocal options! That's... kinda pricey too. So part of my lack of crafting all weekend is bc I have to have everything so close just to see it. Maybe $4 on an awkward pair of readers until I can get a more permanent solution is the way to go!
ETA: the reading glasses were $1.25. They feel ridiculous and I'm sure look more so, but it'll get me through for now.
