- The temperature dropped today to only the mid 60s, it was grey and rainy, and it is actually cool in my bedroom for the first time in weeks. I'm so happy.
- I am nearly finished sewing my second button-down shirt - I just have to do the sleeves and the hemming. I'm really happy with how the dyeing on this fabric came out as well. Dyeing is always a bit of a dice roll for me, but this one came out a really pretty sort of Eau de Nil color and it's very cool.
- My mood this summer has generally been pretty okay (so far, knock wood) but I have reached the point in July where a bunch of my normal activities feel stale and unprofitable. Reading or watching movies gets harder, as does a lot of my crafty stuff (though sewing seems pretty okay right now). Fortunately, when I hit this point last year, I made myself a handy list of Stuff I Can Do When I Have Summer Brain. One of the categories on it is roll-and-write boardgames, so this weekend I played a lot of Railroad Ink. You guys, Railroad Ink is such a lovely game. It's pleasing to look at, it's soothing to play, it requires just the right amount of thought - I always have a good time playing it. Voyages and Aquamarine from Postmark Games also hit that combination of factors, so I'm going to pull those out next.
