Waiting... waiting...

I'm in one of Google's day long chat sessions. I love Google but their customer support is painful. They need to study Amazon. I bought their new Pixelbook Pen and while it's nice, there's no place to keep it. I've used it a couple of times to see what it does but mainly I've just picked it up off the floor when it's rolled off the table - about 35 times a day. It can go back and roll off their table. I have better uses for the $$.

My swim this morning was fine, I thought, until I checked the tracker. The tracker says I was a slacker. I'd argue except more often than not, I think it errs the other way which never seems to bother me. :)

I'm not sure what's going to happen today. I did order a yarn winder and hank holder (called a swift) from Amazon. It will be delivered today. Probably tonight. I'm still annoyed at having to wind the damn yarn but maybe this will make it better. If not, Amazon is no Google when it comes to returns!

Meanwhile, there is a bear to finish. And sewing to do. And reading. And no decisions have to be made. Perfect.

Good job, me!

I went into the sewing room this afternoon. I didn't really want to start something big but I had some little bits and pieces I wanted to do. Every time I opened a drawer or a door or went to reach something and it was right where I expected it to be, I thanked me over and over again for all that work last week. It's amazing and makes working in there so much more fun.

I got some mending done and some pockets built for future pants and some bobbins wound. And there's new fabric in the washing machine right now. And I figured out that I have enough fleece squares cut out to make the coat. So probably square joining will start tomorrow.

The last time I went to Costco, I found their Chex Mix combo boxes. I left it in the car because my hands were full. The next morning, coming in from the pool at 6:30 am, I had it in my hands when my neighbor passed me in the hall and stopped short "Costco has Chex Mix back???"

This morning, I ran into he and his wife and a cart full of Costco which included two boxes. They said they couldn't find it and even the Costco people couldn't find it until they assured them that "Susan got some here last week!" So funny.

So I decided to make up some Chex Mix and OMG. I forget how much like crack that stuff is. So good.

After my little break I'm going to clean up the kitchen and then sit down, fire up TiVo and finish this bear.

The weather outside looks like of strange. I just checked my phone and SNOW!!!! Tomorrow, while I'm swimming!!



There's a Seahawks home game tomorrow so I won't be dilly dallying after my swim anyway, I'll be hustling on home as fast as the snow can carry me.

Ok, break time is over.

I was wrong and you were right.

howeird, mindyklasky, fauxkloreand opakele THANK YOU!!

I did not believe. But, you made me try. I could not believe that a ball winder and swift would be any easier - especially not $50 easier - than just winding by hand. Amazon is not getting these back. No way.

SOOOO wrong. Including the time it took me to unbox and figure out how to set up and how to operate, it was WAY faster and WAY easier. Easy, peasy, extra squeezy. Wow.

I get it now. And, thank you.



But, I'm going to finish this teddy bear before I do anything else.
