Awake and well.

.

.

Comfortable, smooth, clear.  In the low 70s or high 60s everywhere inside, 54 out there.  Slept very well, awoke easily.  If work doesn't happen quite today, it will soon.  I am just about recovered from the higher summer heat, as things smooth to lower temps.  If it gets back to the 90s, that might trip things up.  But, for now, things are smoothing with temps in the mid 80s, as highs.

Teeth brushed.  Pee jug washed out.  Keeping up on that is tiring.  But, if I could keep up on medicine, I wouldn't need as much upkeep.  And, that takes things being heat depressed makes difficult.  If I can get on, and keep on, medicine, I only fill a jug about once every five to even seven days.  Just having gotten back on medicines, after various meanderings, on and off, I filled that jug in two nights.  Ugh.  Still, I am, much more closely, keeping water off than I had been most of the summer.  The heat was driving me to drink, and causing me to forget medicine.

I am trying to read through some of my overlocker manual.  I have lessons coming up.  I'd like to get a rough overview of the manual, what's in it very roughly, and look over parts of the machine.  I won't learn it, or all it can do, in a few days.  So I'm not trying to do that.  Just... get a feel for how instructions are outlined, details about the machine such as where the main adjustments are, and what they do.

As to what happens, when you try to do a four thread overlock, with the wrong settings?  That will just take time to sort.  Are the settings, or ranges, required?  Or will the system create excess, or two tight, of stitches?  That will take time to sort out on the... 96 or so stitch types this machine can do.  And, I... won't memorize those.  My goal is to try each stitch typ, over time.

The thing with the stitch types, is that they are for specific materials.  Or, at least, certain fabrics work best with certain stitches.  I have two, maybe considered three, main fabrics, currently, and one lining fabric.  The shop only seems to carry cotton, quilting, fabric.  And some batting.  So, for me to find other fabrics, it looks like JoAnn's and, perhaps, another few local shops?  I don't know.  Will look, in time.

Yes, most of the fabric I have purchased has been from Amazon.  Until I become more able to get out, that is what I am left with.  As things cool, getting out is more likely.  Getting to town, even now, will probably be in the 90s.  In the mid 80s out here, it is still hot in town.  Hotter.  Cities are miserably hot places.  Even smaller ones.  Then again, I've spent what I had on equipment, notions, and such, for now.  It'll be a bit before I tear into various fabrics.

Well... on to waking, and then dishes.  I am almost certain to hit dishes this morning.  And before long.  Oh, and maybe trash out before I get too comfortable.  Then the web, maybe some gaming, then work.  I think gaming is helping me... push out.  I bought two arcade games, but also a Doom game.  I can't find the disk for that, so just bought it on the machine.  It was inexpensive enough, and on sale.  Now it is just on the machine, or a simple download if I take it off for any reason.  Barring a major electrical storm that wipes the world, or some such, it's good.  Then again, at that point, the whole program changes and I have more serious worries.

Good morning, day, and whatever else you may be facing.  Later.
