Updates

1. I've covered three index cards with notes about what's going on when I reach for the solitaire games. Predictably, one side effect is that I've been newly able to see what I am avoiding, and when avoidance gets triggered. Bonus: I'm playing less solitaire, already, and enjoying it more when I do play.

2. Another box assembled for the thrift store includes such things as the nightgowns that are finally too small and the longjohns that have shrunk just enough to be too tight at the ankles. Not yet ready for another round of book culling, but at least I'm starting to think about it.

3. I've looked up the calendar for Musical Amateurs and see at least two Sunday afternoons I can spend sightreading my way through choral masterpieces in a crowd of likeminded folks.

4. I sat down at the loom today. Wove only 3" of the current pattern, but
it was enough to see what I need to change. I cut the existing
experiments off; tomorrow when I get up I will do the re-threading
that's needed and tie it up again. With luck I might even get to weave a
little more before I need to meet other commitments for the weekend.
