Wednesday

I stopped at the fancy Safeway after my swim to get ice cream and I fell into a couple of 50% off manager special chicken deals. Pretty sweet. I also remembered the ice cream. I forgot laundry detergent but that wasn't as critical as the ice cream.

Another day with nothing scheduled and nothing that really has to be done. I should start that closet clean out I've been talking about but somehow I'm pretty sure I won't. I will make dolls. That new Goodwill fabric is very inspirational and I have several new podcasts to keep me company.

I am in between audio books and I need to settle on a new one. I have a couple on my phone that I haven't read yet but none is calling out to me. I need to do some book hunting in between doll sewing. And I might get another shirt started.

So, net net, nothing new. Just keeping cool and doing my stuff.

Last night's bear:

Sewing back

My Mom spent most of her adult years with tennis elbow. She had surgery once, I think but mainly just suffered the rest of the time. She got it from, oddly enough, playing tennis which she did until she was about 75 and her knees gave out. (I did NOT inherit this particular athletic gene - I got her bald spot on the top of her/my head and lips that leak lipstick down our chins and up to our noses.)

Around our house all muscular ailments were always attributed to their cause. Reading neck, praying knees, skating ankles... today I have sewing back. My table is an incorrect height and my posture sucks and that's just at the machine. Cutting out pieces and sorting fabrics are done on the daybed which is too low. So a day of sewing or even a half day = oh my achin' back. It is likely none of this will be fixed/changed so I have decided that it's my indication that it's time to end for the day.

I did manage to make 3 new dolls and also cut out a new shirt which will get put together probably this weekend.
