Today's baseball game is at 10:30. I still haven't found a good brunch place with air conditioning and the Mariner game on, so I'll come on home and 'brunch' here. Air conditioning isn't probably required today but the game sure is.
I'm not sure what's on tap post game. I don't have anything that really needs to get done which is lovely.
One little project I have in mind is pillow cases. I use two small 'toddler' pillows to sleep with. And, apparently, the world does not think toddler's need nice pillow cases. So I think I'll trot off to the fabric shop and buy the fabric to sew up a few.
That may just happen today. Maybe.

Weird and saved
Aug. 23rd, 2014 12:48 pmShortly after I got up this morning, I was hit with stomach cramps. Ugh. Not fun and not comfortable. I took some Imodium and they got a little better. I didn't want to not go swimming but ugh. As it got time to go, I decided to give it a shot. The minute I hit the water, I felt fine. Really fine. Better than fine. I swam my mile and then some.
And on the way home I started feeling ugh again. Not as bad just not great. I came home and had a bowl of cereal and went to bed and slept on and off for about an hour to the background of the ballgame. Then I got up and we took the lead by 4 runs, so I felt a little better.
Now I'm feeling pretty good. I hate these little spells.
I was thinking that maybe after the the game, I'd go run a couple of errands but the Seattle Department of Transportation keeps posting pix of traffic issues in town right now. One backup they just posted was the road, just south of here, that I need to go where I want to go. So... no go. Thank goodness for twitter and for Seattle DOT's twitter person!
One place I had in mind to go was the fabric store. I think that I will repurpose an old sheet I have instead.

The rest of Saturday
Aug. 23rd, 2014 07:25 pmI got four new pillowcases made that are just the size I want. I sure wish I had a place to keep the sewing machine up all the time or at least easily gotten to. But, I just cannot figure out where or how. I even looked at one of those cabinets that the machine can pop out of but I don't really have any place to put one of those either. Oh well.
I have an old wooden collapsible TV table that I haul out and set up in front of my shoe bench at the end of my bed. It's pretty handy. The machine and all the sewing stuff in in a cabinet that also serves as the TV stand in my bedroom. It's as good a system as I'm going to get, I think.
The baseball game was great. Thank you Boston (and particularly
rsc and
jwg). Your contribution is greatly appreciated. See you again tomorrow morning.
I tried some barbecue ribs from Trader Joes for dinner and they were really pretty darned delicious. Nice to know. The kitchen is clean and I have an iced cinnamon bun for dessert later.
I'm hoping to get one more bear finished before the bear lady comes on Monday. I think I wrote the other day that I will have 100. My counter was seriously impaired. If I get this last one done, I will have exactly 36.
I just got an email from neighbor Ann. She is in Los Angeles visiting friends. Apparently she went into the Apple store there and bought a printer and had the ship it home. Her note was to beg me to set it up for her. I have told her every single time she has asked me about that damn iPad that I know nothing about iPads or Apple anything. I sure as hell have no idea how to set up an 'AirPlay' printer with no computer.
So I sent her a note back and told her again (as I have told her many times) that I cannot help her with Apple product issues. I sent her (again) the name and phone number of the guy who does Apple help and will come to her. And suggested that if she didn't want him she might go to the Apple store here and ask it they know of anybody who could set it up for her.
As least she sent email and I don't have to listen to her cry again. She did take time out in the email to bitch about how her friends are making her watch Fox news and they won't say anything nice about Obama. They way she talks about everyone to me makes me wonder what in the world she must say about me when I'm not around. But, then as long as I'm not around to hear her, I'm happy. She comes back on Monday. I plan to enjoy the day and a half Ann free days I have coming to me.
