Rhyming

My brain is goo. What can I do?

Not too productive

Yesterday the earth kept heaving like the earthquakes I never feel so I didn't leave the house to do any of the several tasks I had planned.  My husband went out alone to get the groceries and pick up some DIY tools to assist with our current project. He came back, happy with his purchases, which included 2 flavors of ice cream.

My friend (who I also work with) came over to help me with a group applique project she recruited me to. I learned quite a bit but it turned out we had the moose design facing the wrong way. So I get to try again....practice is good.

I'm also making great progress on my husband's second sock so soon I will have made my first pair of socks!

Today I mostly slept

I seem to have picked up a virus. Been feeling not right all week. Didn't make it to work Wednesday, but was all proud about making it through work yesterday and even feeling better last night.

I guess it was a mistake pushing myself to stay yesterday since I woke up this morning feeling worse than I did all week. So today was spent in my 'nest' on the sofa and pretty much out cold. Tried some lunch, didn't take. Had some oatmeal later on then a slice of pizza with my husband. Tasted good but not sure what my stomach is making of it.

Hopefully I am a little more lively tomorrow. Got stuff to be doing.

Zippers. Who knew.

My husband has a favorite winter jacket.  It's a bit on the well-used side and has a few rips and tears, but he still likes to wear it.  He uses duct tape for the tears, but one of the pocket zippers is damaged and the main zipper in the front wasn't closing properly.  So I decide to look into zipper repair....I never knew how many types of zippers there were before, never thought about it.

The teeth on the pocket zipper are fairly mangled so that will need to be completely replaced. However, the front zipper just needs a replacement slider as it's become deformed.  I was able to bend it back into shape for now at least. It actually has a double zipper, so the second one might be used to replace the damaged one since my husband says he doesn't need the second slider.

I guess I'll give the front zipper repair a try and maybe sew up the tears.  Then tackle that pocket zipper!
