Ugh, you’d think I’d be delighted to have a 4-day week at work, but having Tuesday serve as Monday just means that it’s a Monday where you’re already super behind on everything.
Dude having gone through his clothes and discarded unwanted garments means I really really don’t have an excuse not to do the same, so I’ve got to do that at some point this week and I don’t want to.
I hopefully will be struck with a bolt of inspiration to remake the clothes I already discarded into the “remake” pile and actually do that… but you know. I don’t actually need clothing, I don’t really need fifteen more t-shirt dresses. (But I want them, and so I should at least make them; then I can go through the ones I have and discard the ones that aren’t suitable!)
I should also be good about cutting back up the unsuccessful garments I made that didn’t quite work, and either repurposing them or just making them the battings in quilts. That’s my longterm goal, because as I get better at shitty quilting, the thing that’s been driving me crazy is how expensive batting is– and either it’s ludicrously expensive, or it’s plastic, and I’m lowkey trying to reduce my use of plastic and really, clothing is a big input of plastic into my life.
(I also have this vague notion that since it’s largely impossible to recycle plastic bags. Oh yeah, here’s a page about that. So I’ve got this half-baked notion that I could make, like, braided rag rugs out of plastic bags, and have that as a waterproof insulating under-layer for the yurt floor or walls, and in my basement, and other places where I’d like something underfoot other than concrete but a regular rug would get moldy. If I put a braided plastic bag rag rug underneath, then a regular rug over that, then I wouldn’t get mold on the rug. That’s my half-baked notion, anyway. The problem with insulating a yurt is that if it’s too well-insulated there’s gonna be mildew, and if I use plastic that’s something that won’t mildew. Anyhow! Separate train of thought.)
I have digressed and should be working, I just wanted a lil break from the depressing deluge of customer messages that piled up over the weekend.

I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow night for a friend's birthday weekend, and I feel this in my very bones.
