Substantial mosquito bites though

health

Yesterday I stay-stitched the yoke, and I’m not sure about the results. A
lot of bubbling, and while it eventually all pressed out, it looks pretty
asymmetrical. I might have to cut another and stitch it over paper to keep
the shape, or underline it permanently with something more stable. I
prototyped a rolled hem, and it looked fine, but when I went to duplicate
the process on the actual pattern piece it refused to cooperate. I wound up
picking it out, and with thread that’s stronger than the fabric I had to do
it one stitch at a time. Not a great sewing day. The masonry guys started
work, so all the windows stay closed during the day and there’ll be brick
dust all over the herb garden this week. I finished Hanging Tree and
started Lies Sleeping. I’m enjoying the design of a new department; the
slow flywheel of people and systems.

Lunch, then work was good; I fixed and committed two sets of bugs and a
third is ready to commit later this morning. I shipped the return to
True&co, and took my snack to the little wooded picnic table behind the
glossy snowman.

Once home I did a turn through the garden and picked blackcurrants and what
is probably the last of the snow peas. The radishes are nearly ready and
could probably use some water. Dinner was a second draft of the previous
one, this time using “fry on low heat with the lid on” instead of my usual
“boil until thickened” and it was a good call. Prepped the blackcurrants
for the freezer, which makes a full quart. I might call that sufficient and
leave the rest for the birds.

Crossword, Legends, Room, snack, sleep.

start up again, so no rehab center for him yet. D is struggling with
anxiety spirals.
