Yesterday I cut out the pjs pattern and laid it out over the test pieces.
There’s not enough fabric left to go over the hip, so I cut the side seams
on the seamline and added a strip of fabric to go all the way down the
sides. I finished Long War; it was only okay. It lacked focus, was pretty
shitty about a probably-autistic character, and tried too hard to be
Heinlein, which is doubly damning.

At work I finished fixing tests for the Django storage module and started a
rebase to push changes up to the repo, but screwed something up so I’ll
have to fix that on Wednesday. I worked with a student to get some
additional AWS permissions for work they’re doing with N. Lab meeting was
long and sleepy. Dinner, dishes, Heart, buttons, and I’d just finished
getting ready for bed when P got home, so decompressed with him, and then
sleep.

Yesterday I gave up on the drafting tutorial I had been using and switched
to the one in How To Make Sewing Patterns, which is much better. I finished
the front sloper and inked it. I need to buy some new drawing pens; my old
brown set is nearly dry.

I worked from home most of the day due to the -20 windchill. Had a baked
potato for lunch, and had a good session with R mostly focused on
terminology from the deductive parsing paper. Polished the draft ontology.

Bundled up thoroughly and then P took us to campus so I could meet with my
boss and P could get some walking done indoors. Meeting was good; F joined
us and we talked through the implications of switching LIA over to Theo.

We went to the grocery store on the way home and got potatoes, apples,
green pepper, garlic, slivered almonds, nutritional yeast, tomato sauce,
and cookies.

Home, dinner, trash, crossword, and then I started watching Good Witch.
It’s basically a half step back from a soap opera about the virtues of
holistic alternative medicine, but their research department is almost
criminally negligent; e.g. it’s a bad idea to dose a teenager with FUCKING
VALERIAN in their morning smoothie. Much like soaps though it sucks you in.
I finished casting and slicking the button I’m working on and started
rounding. Took me about ten tries to get the spokes arranged the way I want
them.
