Wednesday

Jun. 11th, 2020 12:26 am
12:30, downstairs with leftover pizza and on the laptop. When Leofwyna came down switched to the sewing table and the wonky stars. After ZOOM Moot and supper at the sewing table I finished the stars and switched back to the sniglet blocks pulling 1.5 strips to finish some of them.
Wednesday (11:30) a slow start downstairs including lunch and a nap. When Leofwyna got up and ready to leave I headed outside to bring the drying totes into the garage as rain was pending. I was border-lining a spell most of the afternoon so I continued to take it easy at the home computer until time to get ready to go to Moot and supper with the group. At the sewing table still working on nine-patches for the wonky star top that's developing.
Wednesday (noon) up and out for lunch, the south thrift store (*) and library computer time before moot. The group went together to the Parthenon. At the sewing table this sniglet pile of blocks are almost big enough again.
Wednesday slept solidly through to eleven. Stayed home, loafing downstairs on the computer until Leofwyna came down then I finished the 1.5-inch neutrals. We rode to moot together and went to supper with the group at Sultan's Kite which was better than the first time we went there. At the sewing table tonight I started pressing the three baskets of fripping I had washed while Leofwyna was gone to Lilies.
Wednesday at noon headed downstairs and found water, water everywhere. It hadn't quite invaded the sewing area yet but was everywhere else. Started shifting cardboard boxes and vacuuming water, a quart at a time, with the little sucker. Soaking up the water with the towels wasn't going to cut it so put them in the washer to spin out for later. When Leofwyna got up she headed to Menard's to get a second vacuum and something for me to eat, too. By three we were somewhat in control so I started up the dehumidifier and took off. I needed to check if OD had books ready for me to pick up but even at the library computer wasn't able to access facebook. Tonight was moot followed by a group supper at VI. Back at home finally got back on facebook but nothing from OD. At the sewing table continued butting strips; I think there's enough in this batch for two flimsy tops. At least most of the snow is gone and the rest of the ice should disappear tomorrow I think.
Wednesday is bright and sunny again making Cassie happy. After a slow afternoon on the home computer I headed to lunch and the library for moot. I skipped supper as they went to Los Marguerita's, I stopped at the O Street Chinese buffet instead. A quick stop for coconut milk and home to the sewing table... more wonky stars.

Thursday I stayed home with laundry, some sorting and supper. Didn't really finish anything. Finished the day with wonky stars at the sewing table.
Wednesday slept until noon then left for lunch, humane society, Lowe's (purple/gold paint chips), Goodwill (quarter-pint jars, wool yarn, notebook and black wool hat) and library computers. A&S was Naelbinding but I continued quilting on the pink/green/yellow baby quilt. The group went to Red Robin for supper and Owain suggested we get together to talk when I have a dental estimate. Back at home I finished sorting neutral strips and got what I needed cut for sashing.
Wednesday worked on the home computer until mid-afternoon. Went to animal shelter, the south Goodwill and library computer until time for moot. Supper at VI then home to set Vivian up with garb for the coming weekend. In the sewing area I finished pressing the blue/green blocks and started stitching up the red/orange blocks.
Wednesday headed out to lunch and library computer time. A quick stop at to load up a few glass windows for Gerald then on to the animal shelter... a beautiful, young german shepard and so calm and alert. I want HIM. Oh well, isn't happening. Moot tonight, then Appleby's for supper. Still pressing frips at the sewing table.
Wednesday spent on the library computer, then headed to moot and supper with the gang.
Wednesday I got in a double session at the library computer before Leofwyna needed the car (the van is at the shop getting repaired from her accident a couple weeks ago). I did some pick and put to clear the kitchen before getting seven quarts of tomatoes in the water bath. When I could turn off the burner we headed out for moot and supper with the gang. There was a rehash of Cattle Raids and plans for next years Crown Tourney. Owain reminded me about 'dish research' he'd brought up last week.
Wednesday up early to get additional supplies for replacement pies, then home to make those two pies. Was able to get in a little computer time before the evening meeting and supper group. Nice visit with Owain re dishes, dental work, and peers. Back at home I put up three quarts of ripe tomatoes which cleared the counter nicely.
Wednesday afternoon I made three batches of banana bread and only used up the sorriest bananas; there's still enough bananas for half a dozen more batches if I can find the time. I did some kronberg blocks at the sewing table during the afternoon also. Tonight was social moot where I quilted as we talked. Supper at Misty's followed, perhaps a little expensive.
Wednesday morning woke up to snow on the ground... light enough I don't feel the need to go scoop it fortunately. Stayed in for the afternoon working on the kronberg blends... have nearly enough 10" blocks for two more tops. Rode with Leofwyna to moot which is downtown for a few weeks.
Wednesday we pulled the trailer into the garage for the winter.  That evening was, of course, moot followed by supper with the gang at Culvars.  At home again I finished stitching down the new binding on the TOSB comforter.  Thursday I cooked up the pumpkin and made two batches of banana bread.   I brought the rest of the canning jars and the Gold Key totes into the house.  Outside the cold is bitter these days and I'm reluctant to go out.
Wednesday at moot the A&S didne't happen so we farbled instead.  I discussed the idea of a shared community garden with Haldora but apparently Gyda beat me to it.  I wanted a place for potatoes and since we arent traveling in spring-summer this year maybe I should go ahead and do it by myself anyway.  We went to Zoup! for supper but they'd changed their hours so we ended up at Pepper Jax instead.  I went up the line to Noodles for take out before joining the rest at table.    Thursday I went ahead and rejoined Ancestry.com for six months on the premise I'd have gift money this month for it.  That way it will be over before summer business overtakes me.  At the sewing table the tumblers have been sized and set aside again; now a red strippie top has been started for Kronberg.
Wednesday after lunch and computer time I balanced my checkbook.  Spent a couple hours at it and still off but by considerably less than when I started,  Very frustrating because I balanced perfectly last month.  Went to moot in the evening, and supper at HuHot with the group.  Passed off a bag of books to Morgana.  Felt a sort of low-grade depression all day.  Keep thinking, "Stay in the now, don't borrow trouble," much like I did those years married to Carl.  Not a condition I ever wanted to return to, damn it!
Wednesday after lunch and computer time at the library I returned home to take Leofowyna's place overseeing the work in the laundry room so she could get ready and go to moot.  Terry continued working until completely done with that part of the project at 7:40 so I missed going to moot and was too late to catch up with the crew for supper.  I stopped in at Red Robin with my book and had one of my salads there.  Back at home I continued working on the Tea Party blocks at the sewing table.
Wednesday I went and bought more hangers.  I don't know where they disappear to but I wasn't able to hang everything up the last time I did laundry.  In the evening was moot and supper with the gang at China Wall.  At the sewing table today I finished the two pink strip tops for Kronberg and started putting sniglets together since the bag was full.  
Wednesday after a quiet afternoon I headed out for moot at the library followed by supper with the group at Cowboy Chicken.  Thursday I was up bright and early to get the lawn mown before the day heated up again.  I spent the afternoon and evening at the sewing table putting the pink/purple strips into two tops.  There's a large segment leftover so a third, bordered, top is planned with that.
NOTE:  At some point this month I looked up the Cat House again and find that Maggie has apparently found a new home as she is no longer listed as available.  Good luck, Maggie, and bless you!
