Yesterday I plied another bobbin of Romney yarn, and made soap and forgot
to add the essential oils. I’ll cut it today and decide whether or not to
rebatch it on the weekend and add them back in.

We went to the farmers market and got asparagus, zucchini, bok choy,
parsley, and sunflower sprouts. P got some Greek donuts as a snack and I
hopped over to the geagle to get sunflower oil, which they didn’t have, so
I got avocado oil instead. I just needed something for high-heat sautées
and tarkas.

The alpaca blanket had been shedding, so I put it through the wash and hung
it out to dry. The rain forecast was canceled.

The heat was oppressive, so I spent the rest of the day in the AC. I
finished the knit dishcloth, did some reading on box pleats, and sketched
out a design for a new skirt. Hiding the back zip was a puzzle, as were
pockets, but I think I have solutions for both that I like. We did the
crossword, and played a game of scrabble. Made some progress on Gerty’s
embroidery project. Ultimately a good day.

Yesterday I tallied yardage and weight for all the teal yarn, and am pretty
happy with the results. Cut the soap. P and I moved the blanket chest up to
the bedroom, which was harder than I anticipated but I got through it. I
also thoroughly vacuumed the bedroom floor, which deeply needed it. Found
two pair of hand knit socks, including my handspun ones, so that’s good. :)

Health wise I’ve started a more rigorous food-symptom log. It’s going to
take me a bit to build up the habit, but it’s getting important. I’m still
losing weight I don’t have.

Yesterday I started spinning the rolags I carded for hat linings, finished
putting together a soap order and shipped it, and turned the crank on more
data processing. I had a therapy appointment which was much needed, txted
with my sister, and assembled ingredients for making soap.
