This is one of my first sewing projects once I’m settled!
Not really a Tony Victor but something I’m very happy about: our local middle school has instructions on its sign for lunch pickup for kids and how families can get computer and internet access through the school. Some days I get so disappointed in my community, but not today.
This is really great!
Side eye to my kitchen and bedroom which have these exact lights…
We have been using cloth napkins since our wedding in 2015 (asked for them as gifts!) and before that I just used dish towels because I was too cheap to keep buying paper towels. It’s so great. They’re starting to show more stains and I should probably throw them all to soak in a bucket of bleach for a bit, but other than that they’re going strong!
Bonus is that whenever guests come over and I give them one 9 of 10 say “Oh wow, this is so fancy!” So they think it’s special treatment AND I don’t have to pay for something that directly becomes trash. I roll them up and keep them in a glass jar near where we eat and that keeps them contained, looking nice, and most importantly available.
Something I meant to put in Tiny Complaints but now don’t have to:
Since our school transitioned to entirely remote this week and for the foreseeable future, I was going to lose my student stipend. (This covers a large chunk of my living expenses.) Just found out it has been continued through the end of the calendar year! My money woes just went ** poof **
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
Mummy’s big boy put himself to sleep for his nap in his crib after being set down semi asleep.
Now I can try and figure out where I got to in my taxes 7 weeks ago
I used my lunch break to go for a run. I timed it just right to miss the cold windy rainstorm that’s starting up.
We may get a washer/dryer today, after 9 months. My contractor told me that the sheetrock is done, and the electrician is here today. He’s going to help me pick them up. We might have shelter-in-place by tomorrow.
I get this too, and I think it is so hilarious.
I spent a half hour working on a project for my teaching certificate. I’ve been dreading/avoiding it for weeks, but am slowly making progress.
I filmed and edited a little cooking thingy for youtube!
Have not yet figured out how to post it, lol, but it’ll happen!
ETA: And by “filmed” I mean shot from one angle on a phone, lol.
Kids and I watched Les Mis while hemming curtains. I hate sewing so much. I got kind of smug when my terrible stitching was better than bigger kid’s.
I’m better than an inexperienced child at a simple but tedious skill!
I wore pants with a zipper and a button today.
Idk, sounds like a tiny complaint to me
Working from home and conference calls with no video to help the network means time for socks.
I wasn’t even pushing the limit - I only knit on team calls, not 1-1s.
Hahaha I totally had to check what thread it was in could see it going either way
We’re watching Dirty Dancing and bigger kid observed that Patrick Swayze is hot.
He’s one of us now.
