What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
Dropped off the disk that I'm returning at UPS earlier. The refund won't be issued until it's received and processed. So of course this makes me nervous.

All day long I had thoughts like "did I package up the right disk" and such. I'll be anxious until the return is complete.

Brewing a pot of coffee. I've been up since about 3 A.M., probably because I lay down about 7:30 last night. I wasn't feeling right.

Debating whether to spend $10 on a better avocado slicer. When I woke up, I was thinking about getting a second computer test bed to work on a second system. I'd paid $25 for the first one. They were on Amazon for $17. Kaching! It's a luxury, sure, but I deserve nice things, don't I?

Also have corn bread treat in the oven for the parrot right now.  It's his favorite food.

I always thought it would be cool to own a small business called “Sew What?” But I don’t sew, so…another dream is dashed.  Dodgy

There’s a Chinese food van in town call ‘Wok and Roll’. Killer egg rolls.

Since I started sewing quilts in 2020, I have made dozens and dozens of them.  I have not sold a single one.  Those I haven't given away are still here at the house.  I am considering taking some of my earlier efforts to a local nursing home.  They would make good lap quilts or would work on a hospital bed for some extra warmth.  I am considering contacting one of the homes to see if there are people there who don't have much and could use them.

It's become an expensive hobby, but I enjoy it.

Watching an episode of Where Stars Land. I wanted to watch a specific scene, but didn't know which episode it was in. Lucky me -- the thumbnail of the episode has the scene I'm interested in watching!

Watching baseball. Pit & LA. I didn't recognize Skenes what with the growth on his face.

My hometown is holding a competition to redesign the village flag. For over a century, we had one of those flags that you just slapped an Indian head on it and called it a day. Naturally, they want to change that now. So, I decided to give you lot the first look at my design. They’ve already adopted a new seal (with cattails and a flame), so I’ve incorporated it (namely, the cattails) into my design. And my big addition is one of a local bird (the double-breasted cormorant) watching it, ready to fight injustice, just like we did in 1978 (remember the Illinois Nazis from Blues Brothers? That’s based on something we had to deal with. It’s offscreen, because, well, if a Native American is off-limits, I can only assume that Nazis would be worse, even if they were just being vanquished.)

Bear in mind: I cannot draw for shit.
