Hil, would putting the menorah in the freezer help? I know I've used that for various candle holders and the frozen wax pops right off/out.
Next to zero was accomplished in Chez Suzi today. And that is fine by me.

Don't feel alone, the highlight of my day's productivity was walking to the libarary to return a DVD. Other than that I've not done anything unless it involved food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I walked home from my parents', in addition to walking to! Often the dark + groceries encourage me to take the subway or bus home, but tonight I only had a few groceries, didn't see the bus coming, and it feels so warm out! (40, ftr, but it was 20 last week, so now this is balmy again.)
Survey question: I signed up for an event this Tuesday months ago. I haven't heard anything since, so emailed them today. She emailed back, "You were confirmed on October 2. But regardless, you're all set!" Am I crazy to have expected some followup with details? I mean, now I have to re-google where it is and everything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my quest to sample all the apples, I bought a Rome apple on Saturday and only made it one bite in--it was highly unappetisingly mealy. Bad apple, or bad variety?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've had some decent Rome apples but they do tend to be mealy IME. There's a narrow window of goodness there. Not one of my favorite varieties at the best of times.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
One of the things I did today was to buy a lifetime Crowded House Fan Club membership. I am both proud and shamed by this fact.

Today I went to the dispensary to pick up more of my insomnia-fighting tinctures, mended/cleaned/ironed my black silk frock coat, cleaned and refilled a few of my fountain pens, and made cheese biscuits. But the most important thing about today? I met my Dad's lady friend, and she is wonderful. I was predisposed to like her anyway, because she's made my Dad so happy, but she's a really good person. (Our version of good person, that is: kind, smart, and very snarky.)

Kat, do you use a special foot to put the binding on the hospital gowns? Or do you do it in2 passes?
The binding is just double fold bias tape. The snap tape I put on using a zipper foot with two passes, because I figured I could get closer to the snaps that way.
I have a special hemming foot, but each time I use it, I do a terrible job.
Yay Jilli's dad's lady friend.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why would you be shamed? Love what you love!
