Good questions! Probably most of it is flexible and scheduled on Friday for the week to come or at most a couple of weeks out, with the usual handful of appointments for me and the three kids that are scheduled further out.

Hmm, I think I want more structure than a blank notebook, just not sure what format would be most useful.

I like a monthly + weekly spread myself. I second the advice above about going to Target and browsing.
I personally have used the Ardium planner for a few years now. It’s not the cheapest option but I have a thing against spiral notebooks (I carry my planner in a backpack with my laptop and spirals always get bent). I use the monthly spread to capture important dates, and then the weekly spread to go into more depth. My favorite things about it is the blank page next to the weekly spread that I use as a to-do list, and the 20-something blank pages in the back that I use for random things (I.e my reading log resides there, list of books I want to read, longer term planning, etc).
My planner is for personal stuff only - work stuff is all electronic.

Let’s say you were doing a paraffin wax dip for your hands.
Let’s say your sleeves weren’t ALL the way pushed up.
Let’s say you dipped the corner of a cuff into the paraffin wax.
Ya’ll how the heck do I handle this now?? It’s the cuff of a woven flannel button down. How do I get the wax… out?? It’s saturated the corner of the cuff.

Your shirt is a candle now. One with a honking huge wick.

I can’t like… wash it normally and then throw it in the dryer. The wax will melt in the dryer and be a Whole Thing ™ ?? or am I being way over concerned.

Same.
Maybe the shirt is just like this now.
Worst case scenario I take the cuffs off and put on new cuffs. Which may never happen because my “small edits” pile of sewing is like >__> UH. Not insubstantial.

What kind of cool fabric would make dream sleeves?
Is it green? Could you make greensleeves?

THE WORLD IS MY OYSTER. I have blue flannel. So that would be a fabric match but not a color match. O I could go nutso and use ANYTHING.

Pick off whatever hardened wax you can, even chill your shirt if needed.
Then - Using a lot of absorbent paper towels, you iron the area to remove the wax.

Boil water to tea appropriate temperature. Add a few drops of dish soap. Dip sleeve in hot water and watch the wax melt off??
I’m guessing based on what I’ve done before after making candles

OOO this sounds smart. I will try this tomorrow with the shitty iron that’s already a bit fucked.

I will try this first actually because it seems least dramatic if it fails.

I’ve heard other people describe the ironing approach before too! Good luck!

I was going to suggest a hair dryer to melt the wax. I like the hot water suggestion too.

I might try freezing it first and seeing if I could break off some of the excess wax first with physical movements, then go to the slow heating options to get the rest.

when I was a kid who went to church, the church ladies regularly ended up with vestments covered in wax.
If I recall correctly, they would iron them with an old towel between the iron and wax, and the iron would melt the wax and it would be absorbed by the towel.
