Unrelated personal notes: I sweated bullets trying to get all my laundry done Thursday to hang outside yesterday since there was a 0% chance of rain on Friday. I wasn’t wrong, nothing got rained on– I had three loads of laundry out on the line, I have one of those clothes tree hangers and it’s the bomb (holy shit it’s $63 right now, I paid $115 on a lightning deal for it and figured that was a good deal!! I might buy a second one for my sister!!!) – but it was cold as shit all day even if it was sunny, so everything dried slowly and kind of crinkled.
Today there was a 70% chance of rain, and… it’s sunny and… warmer… and argh. Oh well. I do have some things to hang up. I wanted an excuse to tumble dry them (towels and jeans are so much less stiff tumbled…) but the sun will do them good as well.
Other cool thing– oh, I gotta go re-send my Instagram posts so they cross over here, but one of them was about how I found a sewing machine repair man who doesn’t send things out of town and also does housecalls. He’s in his 80s, his name is Wally, and he does sergers. He came and picked my serger up from work. His flat fee is $80 and it’s $17 to replace an upper serger blade and $14 to replace a lower. If he can’t fix it he doesn’t charge you. He only takes cash. He used to work at the big department store downtown in the 60s. Dave’s elderly aunt, who is an avid quilter, gave me his number like it was some kind of state secret. I’ll keep y’all posted.
My brain chemistry is doing the seasonal affected thing, for sure. I’m getting indecisive and I have intrusive thoughts a whole lot. I hate that. I’m trying to sew the wall hangings to insulate the yurt for the fall, and I literally spent two hours pacing around my basement not able to decide what fabric to cut, which is so stupid, but there you have it.
I think I have a Lost Kings update done. It’s so long since I published anything, but, hey. So, sometime this lovely holiday weekend, I’ll push that one.
