For those of us in the US, it's Tax Day - it's due if you haven't already sent it in. Ours went off today as part of this morning's Errand Run - got gas, dropped off recycling, returned the last library book, mailed off taxes, dropped off snacks and supplies to Dearest's teacher, drove the vacuum cleaner to the Approved Service Center for repairs in Nearby Town, and hit their GoodWill, for kicks. And was still home in time for lunch.
Found a nice craft frame for 50c, and a 50c heart-shaped coffee mug from a pharmaceutical company. I was hoping to remove the ad, but no go. Oh, well. To me, it's funny that a heart-failure patient is drinking from a heart-drug-rep mug, so I'll just wash it out and use it as-is. When it gets boring, I can always donate it back.
You may be sorta proud of me - the money I deposited in PayPal for a month's membership on an embroidery site so I could download another butt-load of designs cleared the account today... but I didn't buy the membership. Instead, I bought some nice designs - of the Wall-E logo, and of EVE and M-O. Cost about the same, but the reward should be quite nice, since I know Dearest Son will love what I plan to do to his hoodie with ‘em.
I lucked out, since his class earned a reward, and they chose a Pajama Day for tomorrow. I already found them and his robe, so his hoodie'll remain home, and I can get it washed and get the sewing started. M-O has about 20 stops, and I know the Wall-E I already have takes about an hour to stitch out. It probably won't be complete Friday morning, but I'll try. I hope to at least get our leading ‘bot and companion on there before he gets home.
(sigh) Well, I would have if he hadn't left the hoodie at school. Que sera. Guess I'll cheap-serge the new fabric, maybe do a test-sew tomorrow instead.
