totchipandaI started writing a post on Friday about how I wanted to be more mindful with my weekend buuuut I got sucked into a game and it just sat on my work computer all weekend. Ah well.
So, weekend recap. Trick and I watched a slime recording of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry the musical (which our baby boy Jack Wolfe starred in) on Friday night. All I knew about it was one song, that it was a book and then a movie, and that the titular character goes for a walk and then goes for a heckin' walk. I was not expecting it to be so deep and dark. Trick sobbed through the last ten minutes while I made :( :( :( faces. Wow.
Saturday I kind of bummed around a bit as I was in short-term waiting mode. I started setting up my March pages by writing "New York City hangover... Take me back..." on the blank Febraury pages post-trip. My aunt and dad stopped by just after 1pm with her pattern collection, as her eyesight has become too poor for her to sew anymore. There's some gooders in there! A number of Folkwear and Truly Victorian ones, one RH (hissssss), one from Past Patterns, a bunch of big 4 costume patterns including some I needed to replace after the flood. She said that any that I don't want and can't re-home, to take them to the fabric sale at the church down the street at the end of April. I might actually get to go to that fabric sale this year as it's always the same weekend we go to the South City 3 hours away, but so far this year they have not announced anyone that makes me want to go (after spending $$$ in NYC, on my health, and also I'd like to get my brakes done before I do another long trip
Sunday I spent most of the day just bumming around after waking up at 6 am with the "i am not going to get back to sleep for 3 or more hours" feeling. Got out of bed at like 11am lol. At some point I did put FOUR needles worth of thread into the cross stitch, yay me.
Today I ordered fabric for one of K's requested dresses. It was a heckin' challenge to find it from a semi-local place that took Paypal, but I did it. Remains to be seen if they will fulfill. At lunch today I printed out scaled copies of the pattern pieces and did a mock up to see if it would work on 44" wide fabric. K is shorter than me, so I think it can work.
While I was filling the coffee machines, I was thinking about how being depressed makes it hard to do my hobbies, which would help me feel not-depressed. It's a terrible cycle, and I am going to be talking to my therapist this week so I will likely bring that up lol. Gonna keep trying to do the thing. One of these days, it will stick.
