Knob, et cetera
Mar. 9th, 2021 06:02 amFinally got around to doing the hardware store order, and Sunday night Belovedest did the necessary sawing and pounding to get the knobs in place. Now the risk of one of the Ladies breaking containment is much reduced. Corner room door and basement stair door. Now it seems like the only original knobs are the main bedroom and perhaps the least-used outside door.
A few weeks ago I got my hands on one of those laundry sorters that I've always wanted. That resulted in three upheavals of the bedroom before I was satisfied, but it's a good change overall.
More recently, a set of the tough vinyl medical recliners that a person would be settled into if getting a large whack of fluids. Those only barely fit into my Toaster. I am receptive to Belovedest's suggestion that the downstairs one go into Sewzb0t Parlor, but that means tidying (which I need to do anyway).
My Toaster had been growling a little, only audible at low speeds. Turned out to be the AC compressor. A portion of the audience may be thinking "oh, I suppose you could do without AC in the car?" to which:
Have you met me? I start melting above 75F, which the PNW exceeds in the summers these days
and more saliently, since I was thinking about that too:
The belt for the AC compressor serves the alternator and water pump, and there is no bypass.
So Belovedest's credit card is steaming gently, and my Toaster didn't die terribly on the road.
It also needs some alignment and tire stuff, and I'm vaguely wondering whether I could just not drive for a little while.
Yellface continues to be The Softest.
I'm awake because I had therapy homework-ish, and it turns out that going over The Greatest Hits is emotionally stressful and not hugely compatible with sleep. First session was two weeks ago. I'm starting because basically the pandemic erased my ability to even, but also I hadn't really got my ducks in a row to sign up after the move into the PNW (2017). The discerning will of course note that this is 2021.
I finished the first quilt for Ev and have started piecing together the larger rainbow quilt. I de-linted the bobbin area, which was not as scary as I was expecting. Sunday I sewed a little pocket/bag/purse for my phone when I'm not wearing a thing with an appropriate pocket. It seems silly to wear a purse in the house, but it's great to have my phone on me when I wander places.
