Current Mood : Pleased
Whew ! For some reason, the first paragraph of yesterday's entry just would not post at the correct font. I tried everything - it always showed correctly in the ‘preview' feature. Finally, I got tired of it and changed the whole font and size on the entire thing, and that worked on the first paragraph as well. Once that posted, I changed it back to the normal font and size, and now it's the way I want it. Sheesh.
My chest is super-tight today - 93% humidity - so I stayed home and got housework done. Five more loads of laundry. Three more and I'm done ! It'll probably take me all day tomorrow just to put it away. But it's nice to not have to worry about whether or not Dearest has socks and pants enough to go to school. I heard some real horror stories from the librarian at Book Fair. I was feeling kind of ‘bad parenty' about his clothes lately - he's between sizes, too small for one, not big enough for the next size up, and he's wrecked several brand-new bought-on-sale shirts - but while there may be patches and the occasional permanent stain, at least his jeans zip and he always has underwear ! And it's always clean, even if I have to stay up ‘til 2am to make it happen !
Got to spend some ‘me' time this afternoon, and got the photos taken for my backlogged entries. While I was tearing up the Lab yesterday, alternately cleaning and looking for stuff, I found a pleated knit girl's skirt I'd bought from the thrift for a quarter a few months ago. I'd intended to alter it to fit a My Size girl. Well, believe this or not, I'd brushed Lacey's hair, but she was still nude and by herself. I fixed that today ! Altered the skirt - it took ten minutes, and I learned how to do tailor's tacks, and why I would want to use them - and paired it with a boy's shirt from the MSB closet, and Lacey looks great. A necklace Aunt gave me a long time ago (it's too tight for my thick neck !) and some yard-sale penny loafers, and Lacey was ready to stand with Gracie and Casey. Isn't she adorable ? I think her entire ensemble cost a dollar.
I also found the other empty Advair inhaler. Now that I have both of them together, I'm gonna make the most expensive doll chair ever ! Well, I didn't pay $400. for the meds within, but someone somewhere does, and if ya ask me, that's expensive, even when you can recycle the containers. I'm just glad I won't have a dollhouse full of $400. doll seating. Or I could just put little wooden feet on ‘em - like the ones they sell for $1.47 at Hobby Lobby - and make two hassocks...
