Better

I'm still coughing and it still sounds absolutely disgusting but I am better. Really. Swimming was kind of hard this morning but it got better and I was so glad I went. I can take a deep breath now without coughing. I think I'm clearly on the road to recovery.

I slept great last night but I'm sleepy now. Not 'don't feel well' sleepy just regular sleepy. I don't want to take a nap. I don't want to get into the habit of requiring day sleeping. There don't seem to be enough hours in the day as it is, sleeping through them seems so wasteful.

So I think I'll go sew instead. I've already got a couple of loads of laundry going. Plus all the things I didn't feel like doing yesterday and Friday.

There's a Seahawks game across the street this afternoon so action in the 'hood.

About a month ago, the big apartment across the street showed signs of its having been rented. People were in there cleaning it one day. Then some young guys were in there hanging out a couple of days later and they were back again for a game day. But, no furniture and now I haven't seen anyone in there for several weeks. I hate fake moves.

Ok, time to get to my day. Stop 1, the kitchen for breakfast clean up. Stop 2, the laundry for folding. Stop 3, sewing...

Well, that sure shuts 'em up

I finished sewing for the day and came into the living room to nearly total quiet. I looked outside and about 25% of the cars were gone. What happened to the football game??? Well, turns out, the Seahawks got their lunch eatted. They did get a touchdown just now but the noise level was reduced considerably from the usual touchdown noise. The game is still going on but to say fans are leaving in droves would be a bit of an under statement. Interesting turn of events.

The tunic I'm working on in the sewing room is really a wonderful pattern and it has a bascillioin variations built right in so I'm going to be making it a lot. The serger makes such a difference in both the finishing of stuff and the enjoyment of making it.

I got a spiraler the other day and then some zucchini but I felt so crappy, I didn't do anything with either until today. I made zucchini spirals and tossed them with Trader Joe's Spicy Peanut Dressing. They are marinating now. This could be my favorite thing for a while. I generally hate vegetables. I am the very opposite of a vegan but I'm kind of jazzed about these 'noodles'. I also have a cucumber to spiral.

But, after doing my first spiraling, I can only ask why the hell have I never seen a picture of this on the internet???



Seriously, Twitter alone could make a day out of this and Instagram... what a missed opportunity.

Ok, now there can't really be anyone left in the stadium.

Now I think I'll watch another episode of Good Behavior. It really is such a good show. I have 6 episodes saved and I'm doling them out carefully to make this second season last as long as possible. I thought the first season was good but I think this one is better.
