Day 2 of Age 69

[susandennis]

Today, I put the empty coffee cup under the spot before I hit brew. SCORE!!!!

And I got another ugly purpula bruise on my other hand. So just when I think I have old age beat, I'm reminded ... not so fast there, old lady. Fair enough.

Last night's game was fun and rewarding and due to some really weird MLB scheduling the next game that starts as early as 7 pm is in two weeks. The intervening 14 days are day games or days off. Very strange season start but at least the season has started.

I'm toying with the idea of popping out to Cosco to gas up the car and maybe get a wash and maybe get bacon and I might not do any of that. I dreamed up a bunch of new sewing ideas to try out while I was swimming this morning so that may just be the most of today. I'm fine with that.

I was going through my short sleeved tops (I standardized on pants years ago - same great pattern, same fabric - all seasons.) yesterday to see what I might want to edit out and/or add. I tried a lot of new stuff last Summer before I got my serger and before I got some needed knowhow. The Goodwill will be very happy with the volume of summer stuff headed their way..

Hmmm rumor mill has i that Walmart is buying my insurance company - Humana. I'm fine with that. I have a $10 Walmart gift card that's been in my wallet forever. Maybe I can use it as a downpayment on an inhaler.

Time to quit futzing around like an old retired lady and get to work!

I hit the "Brew Now" button on my coffee pot every morning, only because it doesn't have a "Brew RIGHT F***ING NOW" button.

Anyway, congrats on getting the day off to a good start. It's more than I can usually manage.

That's a good button. Oh and happy birthday!

[susandennis]

I’m afraid your gift card wouldn’t be enough for a down payment, though. “Ma’am.”

[susandennis]

hahahaha exactly. totally. nailed it and gave me a nice gaffaw. Danke

If you think the Mariners schedule is strange, consider this: by the end of April, the Red Sox and the Rays will have played each other 10 times. Over the remaining five months of the season, they play each other 9 times.

Yep. And, after the All Star break we go to Dallas for one series and then no more travel out of this time zone. It's pretty whacko.

I'm curious - what fabric do you use for your pants, that works for all seasons?

[susandennis]

This:

Keep in mind our seasons are mild. All of them. And no matter the weather, I try to limit my time out of the indoors so for sure your mileage may vary.

Thank you. It's true our seasons are more extreme than yours, but although I wear fleece pants in winter and shorts in summer, there are always a few weeks between seasons when I need lighter weight long pants and this fabric looks ideal.
