Saturday miscellany

I'm waiting now until time to leave for the pool. I've got about 30 minutes. The Rock and Roll Marathon is going on all around here but I think I have a way to get from here down the road to West Seattle where the pool is.

Yesterday I made no dolls at all. I made a shirt and cut out another shirt, but no dolls. Today will be a shirt and, hopefully, at least one doll.

I have a cough that is not horrible but won't seem to go away. It's beginning to worry and annoy me. It does not seem to be getting worse, it just won't go away.

After my swim this morning, I need to stop by the library for returns and then I think I'll go on to the dollar store and maybe make a quick stop at the grocery on the way home. And, if I'm lucky, by the time I get home all the marathon stuff will have moved on.

The ballgame is at 1. Otherwise, nice, quiet day planned here.

It is pretty straight forward to sew a sleeve into a shirt. I have, in the past, not been careful and sewn the sleeve onto the wrong side of the shirt. It's a bitch to fix. Today, I sewed it in upside down. WTF? It took me a solid hour to unpick the seam because I also decided to use a seam that is made for stretch so it doesn't pull out. And also is a bitch to pick out when you want to undo.

But, I finally got it done and then decided it was lunch time.

I stopped at a grocery on the way home and lost my mind in the deli. I rarely shop in the deli cause I hate having to deal with a deli person. But today I wanted coleslaw and then I got all kinds of other goodies there. I'm pretty much set for dinner and lunch for the week. And have donuts for breakfast!

I made the best salad.

Coleslaw
chopped onions
chopped chicken
grapes
mayo

YUM! I only ate half. The other half will be excellent tomorrow. The game has started and the Mariners are ahead but it's Boston and it's Fenway and no lead is ever safe.

Lunch break is over - back to that stupid sleeve.

I did finish a bear...
