Well?

.

The dishes had become a bit... crusty.  Water softener salt?  Maybe.  Still, I got a shower in, then reset the tub to a soapy soak.  I am so tired, but I want to finish the dishes, rinse them, dry them by towel, then set them out to air dry.  I just do.  Oh, and I'll probably get the laundry over to the dryer, and set another load in.

It has remained overcast.  I have mostly closed the house, save one west window.  With a fan going it is keeping it to 79 so far.  Will it rain?  It sure might.  But today, tomorrow, this week?  Or... of course... maybe not.  So early for the monsoon, and actually a return of it.  An unusual year, to say the least.  A good one, if cool is more your thing.  Then again, I've never met anyone who likes it 90 or hotter?  Not for the most part.  Some older people seem to like it much warmer, but they, too, are often less active, less able to be active, and with poorer circulation.  Then again, I have poor circulation.  Terrible.  But only in my legs.  Hmm...  That might be it.

Anyway, it's time to hit the dishes, reset laundry, then take a break until it's time to mostly finish the dishes.

I did get one bill paid.  Tried to get another paid, but the manager... or the one who is in the know... was out.  So, I'll check back Monday.  At least I tried, and they know, and it will happen.  Money, money, money, I'm telling you.  Oh, I also looked up a few sewing patterns.  I have always wanted to try shirts, and vests.  Didn't realize sewing ties was a thing.  Though I am particular about ties.  Not sure if I could find the materials I like.  But... will try.  The great thing is, even if I can only find normal silks, plains, I could make ties that actually fit.  Even talls ties are often wonky.  Too short, too fat, too thin, some have even been, to my mind, too long?  Weird.  

And, I'd like to make button-downs, but short sleeves for starters.  Campy shirts?  Something like that.  I have never found ones that fit quite right.  If there is room in the chest, the rest is a tent, if it fits the torso, the chest is restricted.  Sometimes the arms holes are too small, sometimes they are huge!  I just want to craft a template, get that perfected, then make a few, from seersucker? plaids?  Things like that, but light, summer, materials.  I'm not sure what they are all called, or if those names are proper materials or just designs.  Bleh.  Live and learn.

Hmm?  Oh, right.  I'll get to dishes, then laundry, a break, finish dishes, then on to bed.  Later, or maybe goodnight.
