21st Night of September... do you remember?

[susandennis]

First of all, I need to apologize to the Seahawks. Their piped-in crowd noise, if they even had any, never got over here to my living room. There were people at the outside dining space of the bar on the corner. I could here them once in a while and the occasional asshole horn honker, but really that's it. Except one other thing...

Seahawks fans love to stand under my terrace and scream SEA while the rest then scream HAWKS!! over and over again. Last night I heard one dude yell SEA... never heard an answer. Cracked me up, really.

I think today I might make some pajamas. I've been sleeping in a very old, very ratty t-shirt and some stretch shorts. I need a better look but, more importantly, I need more comfort. I have tons of appropriate fabric on hand and it's cool enough to work back in the sewing room now so I think that's just what I will do.

One more week of baseball. Next Sunday is the last game. As with most years of its life, there will be no post season for the Mariners. And, as with most years, I look to the bright side of my being able to cancel the cable expensive package required to watch Mariner games. And, once again, I'm shocked that I have to pay $80 more a month just to see the games. This year, however, I only had to do it for two months.

I'm thinking of buying some months of Hulu for mindless sitcoms for a while. Then I'll buy a month of HBO and a month of CBS All Access and a month or more of Showtime once the new seasons of my favorite shows drop on those streams. Still cheaper than Mariners baseball. Sigh.

No big excitement here this week or plans, actually. I have lots of good food, baseball and other TV, plenty to crochet and knit. I'm a happy camper with no need to leave camp.

Up next is sewing but first a delicious shower.

Are the Mariners officially out of it? I thought I overheard the Jays play-by-play guys saying they were the next team behind the Jays still with a chance to overtake us for the last spot. Or has Baltimore moved ahead?

[susandennis]

Not officially but they are only a loss or two from that and they are not playing well enough to pull it off. I'd love to be surprised. But, I won't be.

Well, don't give up yet! As I mentioned in my post this morning, we've got 4 games vs the Yankees starting tonight so, anything's possible!

your optimism is contagious

Followed your bath-shower transformation to walk-in-shower avidly.

It is a pure delight to follow your joy, as you share it.

ETA: Thank you for the reminder: I, too, need more comfort and intend to make myself some cozy flannel p.j.'s. Might also have to work out some sort of bed sock(s) for my feet, some foot coverings never to touch the floor, just to provide extra warmth for my tootsies in bed.

There will likely be a few more days of shower talk until I get used to the glory of it. Glad you are enjoying.

Ohh, yes! I am, indeed! :^)

I know there are historic houses all over the country, but decades ago I got the chance to tour one (open to the public, charged for admission) in N.E. Ohio which had been built by the Seiberling family (Franklin Augustus Seiberling was the co-founder of Goodyear Tire & Rubber), in Akron.
One of the bathrooms had a walk-in shower, a quarter-circle affair set in the corner of the room, and it had a curved sliding glass door, as I recall, and glass wall, and one of those two had a curved towel bar affixed to the outside of it.
It was nowhere near as large as yours looks to be, though!

My unpretentious little house with its very little bathroom would welcome a walk-in shower. Maybe even one of those (more modest!) quarter-circle-corner ones.

But oh, yes, I am enjoying and I hope you'll continue to describe its--- Just wrote myself into a kind of hole. Well, shoot.
I hope you'll continue your shower talk for as long as you're pleased to share it. :^>

There was some piped-in crowd noise, but it was nothing like it would have been with actual fans. Mention was made a few times during the broadcast that the Seahawks' stadium is normally among the loudest in the NFL, and the lack of a loud home crowd made things a bit easier for the Patriots (like, they could hear each other in the huddle). (Yeah, they lost anyway, but that's beside the point.)

[susandennis]

Ah. Interesting. I have heard that loudest in the nfl crap before. I just think that's a stupid thing to be proud of but whatever. I do appreciate not hearing the noise.
