- I have had the stupidest cold for nearly a week now. I call it the stupidest cold because I'm sick enough to feel off and to have mild but irritating symptoms, but not sick enough to actually feel like I shouldn't do things. Also because it spent about three days in the "sniffles and sore throat" stage without progressing. Fortunately, it feels like I've reached end-stage cold symptoms now, so hopefully it will be gone soon.
- I finished my handsewn shirt - it came out pretty okay! - and now I'm excited to make more clothing. Much like when I learned to knit, I find that now that I have some initial knowledge and experience, there is a part of my brain that has immediately decided that I am obviously capable of sewing anything. Textile crafts are the only area of my life in which I have this kind of boundless confidence in my abilities, regardless of whether or not that confidence has a basis in reality.
- Anyway, I have a growing list of patterns saved to make later. And also several articles of clothing I already own that I want to alter, mostly to add more pockets.
- I haven't been doing a lot of regular solo rpg playing in the last couple months, but I picked up my Starforged game on a whim last night and played it for about three hours. Starforged is still, seriously, the best game just on a mechanical level, and I'd forgotten how much I love the character and setting I'd made for this game - now playing it is all I want to do. I hadn't actually played since before I got my physical books/cards and it's amazing how much nicer it is to flip through a book to look up rules as opposed to a pdf. I can't play tonight as I have choir after work, but I'm definitely going to on Tuesday. And maybe every day this week - who knows? Really, I need to get back to having a regular weekly solo boardgame/rpg night.
