Good productive Weekend
Sep. 20th, 2021 11:35 amThe weekend was nice...Friday was so long...OMG.. Work was so much work but I managed to knock everything off of my to-do list for work by 330pm on Friday. I haven't done that in a really long time. It felt so good. Then I sat and played Stardew Valley for a few hours until dinner time. I made my chicken dish and mel made mashed potatoes and green beans. The only change was I went 80s hot dish and added crushed up Ruffles versus bread crumbs. It made a neat texture change and was tasty.
I was asleep by 1030pm I was so tired and I had had a couple of margaritas before dinner. So tired. Saturday I was up early for the Atlantian University. It was good. I learned a few things and in the off ours I got the text penciled in on the porch project and more work done on my crochet shawl. I took a class on 14th Century hoods which had a stats slant to the types in manuscripts, a wonderful class on women Printers in the 15oos, an okay class on beads that lacked documentation completely and a class on the "squashed bug" style of painting in 15th and beyond manuscripts. That class was neat. After that I played some more video games and then went to my room with my ipad and shawl while the boys played Halo. It was nice to sit and relax and finish my shawl while watching YT.
Sunday we all slept in and I thought I had calculated time changes correctly but missed my first class of the day. I then went to my SIL class on dyes from your Kitchen and then took a class on making early period fibula. The biggest thing to learn on that one was anneal, anneal, anneal which I knew but it was nice to see it step by step. Then I played video games again and after that I got going on moving the porch project back to the porch and got some more progress on it before the mosquitos ate me alive through my DEET bug spray. Ugh. But I made progress on that project and the end is nearing. YAY! I also managed to get the shawls washed and blocked and my hat I made in July washed and laid out. The studio was full of wet wool/silk and Eucalan smells and cat who wanted to lay upon the big flat surfaces covered in the wet projects. le sigh. But its all dry enough today to hang on the shower curtain rod for final drying. Except the hat...its thick but that is okay.
Mel and I after dinner continued on our dive through Clone Wars. We hit season 3 Episodes with the Force overlords and the battle there. Wow, if we had known any of what those 3 episodes were about the last movie would have made way more sense. I realize now I'm going to have to watch the crapiness of Episodes 1 thru 3 after we finish this series just to get the whole picture. We own them on DVD cause I wanted the original series with the updates for visuals but not all of the crap lucas shoved in for the special editions. So yay!.
On the book front I easily finished #16 When Sorrows Come and don't know why the novella at the end wasn't just part of the book but its all good. Toby finally got Married!
I'm now re-reading #17 of the year Mortal Danger by Eileen Wilkes. I read this book a long while ago and can't remember much of it. But I have the next 3 on loan from Mughi so I want to finish them up. Its a neat world and a very neat take on magic.
So all in all a good weekend. Very happy with that and I even managed to tear back on my Cloudlift Shawl that I messed up but I think I may have to rip the whole thing back to the cast on. Things are weird on it. I will look at that later in the week.
