Not like other girls

Yesterday I buffed most of the rust and gunk off of the knee lever assembly, but it’s not clear how I’ll go about attaching the new controller nor how I’ll transfer the mechanism over from the old multi-position switch. Linkages are not my strong suit.

P went to the farmers market and got peaches, nectarines, apricots, pluots, prune plums, blueberries, mushrooms, amaranth, green beans, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, parsley, and basil.

I finished sewing the vertical welt pocket on the right side of P’s shorts, and he tried them on and declared it good, so I started the one on the left. Welt pockets are not harder than regular ones if you’re sewing by hand, I guess?

I did the laundry and dried it on the line, and had a good lunch and snack and dinner on time. We did the crossword and struggled with the northwest corner to the point of getting a hint from Rex. I started watching Legacies, which has some interesting dynamics but as a teen drama struggles with dimensionality so far. I finished A Pale Light in the Black, which ended unobjectionably but is indeed turning the ace representation into “we should support ace people 100% but really they just haven’t met the right person,” which, gross. The rest of it is an excellent ride though so I recommend it on the whole. Switching to podcasts for a bit before I reread Gideon the Ninth in prep for the sequel.
