Monday night stuff...

Well, I managed to overcome a rather nasty sinus headache to go riding yesterday..the headache came back after I cooled down though...need drugs. But I got a ride in, go the coronation photos uploaded correctly* and then headed for ari's for kirtle adjustment and scribal.

Well, The kirtle adjustment requires me to redo half of the hand done eyelets...yup, I know what I'm working on tomorrow. The funky curve that we saw in my back pattern of my kirtle pattern from February has now now evened out to more of a straight line.
( kirtle pattern from feb )

So, we took almost 4 inches out of the sides and 2 inches out from under my boobs. Yeah...go me...but having lots of work now to do...and Stefan got sent out to Yellowstone...so I get to work on a few things myself on monday. Probably cast the weekend after that I guess. Anyhoo...there was much amusement during the taking in of the pattern from Ari and I.

Scribal was fun and it was really good to see ceciliamowebray in attendance. We all had fun. I didn't finish the scroll I was working on...I was almost starting to shade in circles but I stopped and pulled out my A&S stuff and started sketching. I hope to have my sketches done over the weekend so I can start getting things going on that front as well. Lots to do though, lots to do...but at least I got the shapes going for what I wanted and that was important. I can now doodle to my hearts content on the patterns to get them just right.


I woke up at 3am this morning and laid away till about 4am when I decided that I needed more pain killers and a snack. I obviously didn't eat enough dinner yesterday and was starved. The girls were more than happy to follow me around and then when I crawled back into bed they smothered me with warmth and purrs and I fell fast asleep. Course, that made it so I really, really didn't want to get out of bed this morning and I'm still tired. Might see about a nap before the demo but it all depends on when I get out of here and if I can get another ride in. We shall see.

Well, time to get going on things...its gonna be a busy day.

*seriously, why would I have to put things in "manual" mode to make them sort by file name? seriously, someone punch a code monkey!

Yup, biking during work hours!!

So, a while back to help people get in shape and get around a bit easier they started putting commuter bikes in the lobbies so you can use to get from A to B around plant site. Its 1.25 miles as the bike travels to get to the factory I need to be in this morning so i got 2.5 miles of biking in at 14.5 mph (not bad on a heavy, 3 geared, commuter with a big ass seat). I might see if its available again for my noon meeting when I have to be over there again...cause 5 miles in would be good for me. We shall see.

My only bitch is that the building I'm going to has no gate that I can get the bike through and I had to walk a rather long way. They had a bike rack inside the gate....which doesn't make any sense.

EDIT:
Did a second ride...a bit more mileage and found the one manned gate that let me bike on through. Very glad I biked today and now I don't feel too bad about not doing it when I get home. Plus, I don't think I'll need my nap.
