Nov. 2nd, 2015
My phone drained completely last night. I think it was a combo of probably not getting the plug seated all the way. It uses USB C and it takes a different kind of pressure to get it right. I'm just not used to it yet. Also it could be that my cheap cable to too long and too cheap. I ordered a replacement this morning. On the up side, once plugged into the good charger, it went from 0-87% in 30 minutes. I'm totally cool with that.
My swim was good. On the Swimming sub reddit someone yesterday suggested a 50,000 yard challenge for November. I'm so in! If I do my usual 2k a day, I'll make it easily. OMG, I just looked it up in miles. 28-34. That's pretty cool.
After swim I went over to the big Safeway and scored diced yellow onions and cut green onions! They are all going into the freezer before lunch today - except for some of the yellow ... I'm having chili for dinner.
I refitted my leggings pocket to make it more comfortable. I have more leggings coming and so making it right is even more important. I don't really have a sewing project for today. My swimsuit pattern is coming in the mail today. My swimsuit fabric won't get here til Friday. But I do want to make a couple of working copies of the pattern. It is a very simple line and I envision making variations.
The Home Owners Association meeting is tonight.

For someone who didn't have any sewing projects today, I managed to bang out a bunch!
I get hot and cold easily within short time spans. I can sit and watch TV and be really chilly and then 30 minutes later be hot. And then be cold again. So I like to have coverage nearby. Blankets and wraps are too big.
The other day I made a cowl with a caplet... it works perfectly but when I'm not wearing it, I have issues. I don't want it just cluttering the living room but I don't want it out of arm's reach. To today I made it a pillow case!
(And, by the way, this new phone has THE best camera! Even throw away shots are lovely.)
Then I went on to add stop stitching to my leggings pocket.
One of the things I picked out of the Goodwill pile yesterday was a Snuggie that was in perfectly fine shape. I cut off the bottom and added two huge buttons/buttonholes. Now I can wear it backwards like a regular sweater/jacket in bed when I get cold reading or playing computer games. And then... I made a pillow case for it, too!!
I also discovered that I can download YouTubes. Maybe you could always do that, I don't know. But The Great British Sewing Bee episodes disappear fast so I'm thinking downloading them will enable me to actually watch them before they disappear. So I did. 3 seasons. On my tablet. I can watch them there or Chromecast them to the TV. This all equals = me the happy camper!
