SCA nerd who usually hyperfocuses on fencing and 16c clothing. Why have just one hobby when you can have many?
Doesn’t everyone have sewing, crafting, or I-need-familiar-background-noise movies?

I had to call Brightspeed to cancel internet I haven’t used in years. The guy was like “we can cancel out Nov’s bill and you just call back before Dec”. No. Needing to call to cancel is the reason it took me so long to do this in the first place.

I got more details about what Clara gets to do this weekend. She’s helping with a project, but will be with a responsible human, so I’m not worried.
I did request pictures in a Flat Stanley sort of way :)

Also, the broken shoulder is totally my fault. Unlike Karen (not pictured), who came to me with her leg joint broken.

As I was sewing the shoulder straps in place with Clara wearing the bodies, I kept thinking that QE1’s tailors knew what they were doing pointing the straps to the front. Alas, I didn’t follow their example…

It’s just taped back on with gaffers tape. There’s a lot of tape holding that shoulder together, and I’m not confident of its structural integrity.
At some point, I’d love to get her to a doll hospital to see if she can be repaired.

Also, the reader and author (poss the same person) is Australian, with a fab accent.

Which I love the fact that all of my adult work environments have had people that I can have these conversations with.

My test of summer 16c girl clothes went okay. Shirt, linen pair of bodies, linen underskirt, “kersey” wool overskirt. I was a bit warm wearing leggings with the usual socks, but also it’s spring and tick season and just no. I’ll take being warm to avoid things that’ll make me long term miserable.

I don’t know who decided we need to have smelly dishsoap! I’ll check out Blueland. The Everspring tabs I picked up at Target are okay but I’d really rather have something without scent.

I swear there must be something in the air. I made myself leave the house today (needed groceries) and the not-quite-panic-but-also-maybe-panic was strong. Meds and food helped a lot, but much later than ideal.
Hoping for a better tomorrow for all of us.
