someday, my goal is to get good enough at sewing myself bralettes that i can splash out and buy myself some of this to do it with
and then i can hand-dye it and pretend like i'm fancy

so like i should actually sew together the one i cut out from the pattern i had to entirely redraw, and find out if that works, because well, i won't know until i try, which is kind of why i haven't, but.

I ordered some seeds that i have to start, and I don't know when I'm going to do that, I forgot I'm going to a concert next week so I have to be in Buffalo for that, and then I might as well stick around for my banjo lesson so I don't miss it, and then like-- it turns out the guy has only been charging one of us for lessons anyway since we do them together, so it won't matter whether I turn up or not, but I don't know how I'm meant to keep up on practicing when we only own one banjo. so.
I should get a second one but they're like... almost $500 for a cheap-but-good one. so. it's not unattainable but that's a big investment.
I guess we'll see when the seeds arrive, to start with.

My first Please Be Here For This Thing commitment of the season is April 24th, which is when the spring pork comes back from the processor and has to be sorted and handed out to the preorder customers. (We call that the Pork Snort but Veg Manager dubbed it the "pork snort" instead so it's like. a thing now. also it's As Much Work As Everyone Can Do With No Extra Time Ever, every time, because the pork comes back frozen and we do not have a walk-in freezer, so it MUST be sorted and distributed IMMEDIATELY and sometimes the guy from the slaughterhouse forgets to be there so BIL has to sit there and wait an extra hour for someone to come with the key and we're all like "oh my god we're not going to get the sorting done in time" and then people are like "can i come get it tomorrow" we are like ABSOLUTELY NOT and there is ALWAYS SOMEONE who is like "oh i know that the form was really emphatic that we have to be there between these times but my dog has a pedicure appointment i just can't miss and blah blah" or sometimes even though we email EVERYONE it gets to the end of pickup and we're like "why do we still have four boxes labeled McGillicuddy" and so we get on the horn with Mr. McGillicuddy and he's like "oh i'm in Florida!"
ARGHGHGHGH

But, it's way cheaper than the USDA pork by the piece process, so we'd rather sell whole/half/quarter pigs that way, even though it's more hassle, it's just.
I gotta be there, and that's no problem, but that's sort of too late for starting seeds so I ought to visit earlier in the month and my gosh, I'm just going to spend this month on the Thruway that's how it is. *shrug*
