Some small progess makes the world shine a bit brighter

First off, this AM I got to see [livejournal.com profile] msgolda on the road. That was cool. We work a couple miles apart but I never see her driving. I also got to wave to my neighbor when he passed me heading onto the access road...that was also neat.

Work was productive, putting on headphones and just diving into the qual report actually made things work. I'm happy about that. Got home and mel remembered the phone messages and I hauled the last 2 sewing machines off the shelf and headed to cathy's to pick up my other 2. They aren't sure it will be worth fixing the babylok but I'm getting an estimate. They have some really spiffy machines that could replace about 2 of mine and do leather..tempting...but I'm concerned about all of the electronics going haywire...I like the solidness of the machines I have. Course if the babylok is truly dead, I'll just leave it with them for parts or have them scrap it out...that will give me room to have all of the machines on the same shelf in the studio. I do plan on getting the machine that my neighbor gave me serviced and then putting it up at Dragon's Horde. So that will bring me down to 3 sewing machines and 2 sergers. Anyhoo..got home and was feeling shakey...the blood sugar took a drop so I made dinner of chops and corn. Very nummy...then mel and I both got the tireds...I fought it though and just relaxed.

When he left for practice I got the laundry hydra butchered into manageable chunks and started in on it. I also got more embroidery done and I managed to get an entire garbage bag of clothes ready for good will. I know I have more but I need mel's laundry put away so I can sort things better. Plus, actually going through the drawers and folding things would give me a better idea of what I can get rid of too. Spring cleaning has definitely hit turtle house brewery. I stayed up late finishing laundry. I made good progress on the 2nd rose (all petals outlines, leaves 2/3 done and the center is all filled in). Mel was sore from practice and stayed up reading with me. Brimstone Kiss is disjointed and not Carole Nelson Douglas's normal style...it more reminds me of her first book in that way. But I'm getting through it.

Oh, and if I failed to mention it, I finished Jim Butcher's Turn Coat last week. Not the usual Dreseden and the plots are getting thicker and muckier but there was some interesting resolution with one of the characters. So that would be #8 in my list.

Today I hope to get a pedicure after work and then get ready to teach class. My laundry is almost all put away and I just have sca laundry and sheets to do. The studio still needs a bit more picking up but things are looking good in there. Its almost a pity to start working on things since it so nice. But I'll get working on things soon.
