It's time to hem the pants

susandennisVolleyball was good. Elbow Coffee is next on the agenda. Then, at some point, hopefully, Amazon will deliver my order to the locker at the Dollar Store and I can pick it up along with toothpaste and the greeting cards that Bonny asked me to get. On the way home, I'll drop off the Amazon return.
Ok Elbow Coffee is done. It was ok. Bonny really is a key ingredient and she won't be there for at least one more Saturday. Today Noelle said her computer did not come back after the electrical outage. So after coffee I went in to look. Her computer is 9 years old and took a good 20 minutes to go from off to fully on. She's a Gmail user so I took her my spare Chromebook and showed her how to use it and told her is was a way better bet for what her uses, but not to decide anything until she'd used it for a while. She has an appointment with IT on Tuesday so I didn't even bother hooking up her printer. Let them do it. She has both computers up and operational now.
My pants are too long. I wear the same pants every day. They are actually yoga pants. They are nice looking and plain with perfect pockets. They launder beautifully and stretch 4 ways but pop right back to the original size. They are comfortable and I have about a dozen pair. They have always been a smidge too long. Not long enough to require hemming but longer than I would like. Now they are unattractively (and probably dangerously) too long. I don't need a smaller size - and actually, the smaller sizes have the same inseam length. I just need to take up the hem in all the pants. All of them. That's the project today.
Also I am near the end of Death at the White Hart by Chris Chibnall. I can probably stretch it out two days but I probably won't. I've enjoyed the heck out of it. His only other book is Broadchurch. I did not like the TV series but maybe I'll like the book.
I'm beyond dismayed to hear from multiple people that Project Hair Mary - the movie - is great. I could not imagine how they could make it credible, much less great. I'm still not sure I want to see it. But now I probably will. I did love that story so very much.
My Amazon is out for delivery so should probably land pretty soon. I should get a snack for lunch before I head out.
