I said I was going to post more and then ... didn't. But in my defense yesterday turned out to be unexpectedly interesting. We got a groundhog almost first thing in the morning, and then had to relocate it up the mountain, so that took up a good chunk of the morning. The boy ran the bissell machine over a good chunk of the floor and took out a whole bunch of trash that I'd been hoping he'd get around to dealing with (and admittedly some of it was my trash that got swept along in the process that I hadn't been dealing with), I did the kitchen and put things away, threw things out, put things in the dishwasher that had been gathering dust for a while, various. There were various. Made dinner, got my office about halfway sorted.

All of this left less time for writing and cross stitch than I'd like but that got done too and was very nice. I'm feeling more like myself again for the first time all week. So, nothing major yesterday but the day is still young for today.

Oh, one other thing I should log is that I realized that while the cuff bracelets are very nice for going out sometimes, the bracelets I put on to wear around the house are these cheap round-pumice-beads-on-elastic bracelets that I picked up on a whim for more shinies when I got a hoodie at a new store. All their clothes smell like assy chemicals so I doubt I'll be shopping there for my gothpunk again, but these bracelets oh my word. I've been wearing them almost constantly since I got them.

SO of course this is when I decided that I needed to get more bracelet making material and just make a couple dozen of these round-beads-on-elastic type bracelets. We'll see if this actually turns out to be a thing I wear or if I've just spent more money than I probably should have on a whim that won't pan out. But on the other hand one person wants some bracelets too, so I can accomplish that. My brain is also trying to convince me that I may not have the skill to... put round beads on a string. I really have no idea where it got that idea but it can stop that anytime. It's not the skill I lack, it's the knowledge of whether or not I'll wear the bracelets I make often enough to make it worthwhile. (Also whether or not I got the correct elastic, I opted for a tough one but I don't know how well that'll work. We'll see. The elastic is not at all expensive anyway.) (I can't believe I even remembered THE bead mail order service name either.)

I think that's everything. So since this is going out while it's still morning, a to-do list and a general goals list, the goals being: write, clean, and cross-stitch.


1. File nails; they're getting annoying
2. Minimum: finish leaves on cross stitch
3. One load worth of baking tins and baking glass that has been sitting gathering dust on the counter in the months since I cleaned out that cabinet
4. Come to that, rearrange the oven-side cabinet
5. Pick up office floor
6. Finish one yoga pants worth of hem.
7. Find a way to move the lettuces outside (bring out a shelf?)
8. LAUNDRY One load of two in the washer Second load in the dryer
9. Email Flatiron re: remote positions *SCREAMS*
10.
