Weekend was rather delightful. I was very glad to get home and just spend my days in silence. Watched my weekly shows and paid a nice man to bring me dinner. Woke up in the middle of the night with an unhappy tummy, but at least it was the weekend so I could sleep as long as I wanted the next day.

Saturday was mostly lumping around. I washed a pan of dishes, scooped the cat box and swept the kitchen floor. Meals were very much "suggestions". It was chilly in my apartment so I, wearing my tank top and booty short-pajamas, put on the banyan I sewed in July and absolutely loved it. It was the perfect weight and kept me warm and swirled delightfully around my ankles. 11/10 good sewing decision! Do need to figure out the closure situation, I used a length of wide double-faced satin ribbon that had previously been worn as an Edwardian belt, which was fine but occasionally too tight around my middle.

I finished knitting my rainbow cowl. I had set up a "home theatre" with the antique laptop, projector, and gaming headphones to watch Next to Normal on the wall with Trick, so casting off said cowl took a hot minute. I needed better light. I'd won yarn chicken with a couple meters of yarn left, which ended up being the PERFECT amount to actually cast off with eyyyyy. I have about half of all the colours left, and another skein of the main colour. I wonder what else I can make hehehe. I also stitched the hem of the shirt dress and marked the buttonhole placements. Then I put that machine away, but did I pull out the machine that can do buttonholes? No, I did not. I pulled out the shiny Brother now that I have belts for the variety of belt-driven pot motor machines that I have. It needed a good dusting, and they all need oiling. I had too much assistance to do much more.

Sunday was even lazier. I had to go to the store to get coffee cream, and also picked up sandwich meat, bread, cheese, chips, and then found a turkey breast in the meat section! Yesss I can finally have my Thanksgiving dinner almost a month later! I wound up some new skeins of yarn for other projects (defending them all from Calcifer) and cast on the mystery knit-along. Had a nap. Did make the turkey and really really hope I did it right, but it was also a lazy kind of day bc I hadn't planned for it so I only made mashed potatoes and the tiniest amount of gravy. Started watching the Witcher S4, and surprised immediately by how easily Hemsworth fit into the role. It helped that they spent the first 10-15 minutes reprising the greatest hits of the first three seasons with him in those scenes.

At work today and like, there's no one here lol. Including my boss!! So it's gonna be a more relaxing day than normal. Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment and plans with M (since DWTS is still happening), but lots of my own time, and then all day Wednesday :D I taped together 1 partial pattern together yesterday (again with the helpers) so obviously need to do more. Hmm maybe I can do that on M's floor tomorrow. We shall see. Need to make some decisions!
