Laundry day

Yesterday I sewed and faux-flat-felled the front panel to the back panel, and test-pinned the big piped seam to resolve a suspicious marking issue. Alas, I mismeasured something and didn’t true the seams on the pattern — there’s an extra 3cm on each side. I’ll double check on the pattern today, since walking seams on outside curves is always a bit dodgy with seam allowance in the way. Better too much than too little though!

At work I finished getting the lexicon and executor to work in the LIA environment, at least to the point where types are starting to matter and we need to update the grammar. I wrote up an email explaining the issue and proposing a group meeting about it, but didn’t send it yet since next week T’s calendar is already hopped up on goofballs. Got into some executive dysfunction about needing to plan the meeting, knowing it won’t happen for over a week, not knowing what I’m going to do all next week without input, and some confounding frustration about the scheduling of a call with one of our funding agencies.

Home on the shuttle with P, sat for a bit, dinner, crossword, Elementary, snack, sleep. I liked the handling of the addiction crisis between the finale of S3 and the first couple episodes of S4. Addicts gonna addict, and recovery is largely about building up the stamina to pick up and go again when you fall.

I finished Sheepfarmer’s Daughter, which ended a bit abruptly. I suppose the next phase has to be a different book anyhow, but it could’ve done with a pacing adjustment to reduce the whiplash effect.
