A visit to the Red River Valley
That means cramps. That means that I miss the thread sale and the writer workshop I was planning to attend today. My bf is suffering from a skin irritation, so he’s uncomfortable too. We’ve been sitting on the couch, watching movies & playing computer games/reading. The laptop’s heat is very nice, girls know what I mean. The only problem is food. There’s very little food in the fridge or freezer. So we had toast for breakfast & sandwiches for lunch. I fixed some tea but it’s still a little too hot to drink, even with cream added.
My friend Steve loaned me a stack of books. Plus I have been spending a little time typing up the notes from the Mutants & Masterminds game. I have 2 out of 9 sessions done. So I have lots to read/type/etc. Problem is that I need to be cleaning. This may very well be the last weekend that I can devote to it until Christmas. Every weekend in October for example, is already tied up. The state fair alone takes 2 weekends. Plus there’s a con to attend & the Ren Festival.
I pulled out my Shadowrun charfic again. Something Steve said has me wondering if I could rewrite it enough to make it a story worth trying to publish. Maybe so, maybe not.
I finished tatting the baby booties for Lisa. Now I’ve started the doily for Karen. The thread’s being a bigger pain that I thought. The filament chooses to break in such a way that I can only cut off the motif & start it over. Bleh. It’s a lovely thread though, red with a silver filament.
I had a lovely visit with Aunt Shirley & Mom. Cousin AJ came by. I finished my Village outfit. It took longer than I thought it would to get the lacing on the bodice done. The skirt took about what I thought it would. I even have a fake underskirt & fichu to wear with it.
