Paper weight numbering is a mess

Yesterday I read the USPS standard for how to mail booklets, and it turns out I needed heavier paper for the covers, so I unstapled them all and added a layer of card stock. I ordered more almond butter and nutritional yeast, and threw in some mushroom powder and msg for kicks. P did the laundry, cleaned out a substantial part of the laundry room, and installed the wall-mounted accordion drying rack we’ve had kicking around for years. It is glorious and the laundry room is a much more pleasant place to be. I started reading The Palace of Lost Memories by CJ Archer, which is a pre-industrial fantasy that doesn’t know their world has magic yet. Feminist author, semi-misogynist world (& the “semi” part is a fun twist), very enjoyable so far.

Crossword after lunch, scrabble after dinner, SG-1, snack, sleep. Got in a quick workout while dinner was cooking and slept like a rock.

Dreamt of a WHS theater tech reunion

Yesterday I finished hemming the damask pants (basted, tried on, still too long, basted again, perfect, hand-felled). I washed two loads of towels, and hung the dish towels out on the line. I watched piles of Elementary and listened to a bunch of old sewing podcasts that had accumulated at the bottom of the queue. I screwed up some kind of muscle in my right shoulder. P cleaned out and cleaned off the lawn mower in prep for taking it to the shop. He also cleaned out a nasty garbage can I had abandoned 😓 from when I cleared the back porch for the masonry guys, and ran to the hardware store for a replacement spray nozzle for the hose. The old one had gone mysteriously missing. Lunch was good, snack was good, dinner was a bit late but good. Crossword, half an episode of Elementary, put together ingredients for another batch of nut and seed bars, sleep. This time I’m testing out measuring by weight.
