McKinnon is a treasure

[infryq]

Yesterday I made some new salves, focusing on dry-touch oils without any
strong scents, with a touch of myrrh EO for healing and to cover the oil
smell. Seems to work pretty good so far. While working I finished Long
Earth, such as it is. I firmly believe you have to write an ending for your
book, not just quit when you get tired, even if you’re writing a series.
Alas.

P helped me mark a level hemline on the skirt, both sides to account for
asymmetry, and I averaged the results so neither one will look too uneven.
I adjusted the hem bands, then made a pattern piece for the back hem band
(which has to be done in sections because of the width) and started tracing
and cutting.

My back was giving me warning signs, so after lunch I watched a movie
instead of continuing to hunch over the cutting table. I hadn’t seen the
Ghostbusters remake when it came out, and the climactic Holtzman scene has
been going around on Twitter, so I figured it was time. Pleasant and
entertaining; not worldchanging but it doesn’t try to be. Solid.

Dinner, crossword, Lucifer. No snow, just rain.
