Crafting update!  - I drew the pattern for a teddy bear and/or bunny yesterday - I got all the fabric cut out, and about half the sewing done - it would have been more, but there was a fabric fundraiser sale thing in town today and I had to go to that (I got some random fabric and a bunch of faux suede. No idea what I’ll make with that yet but I love the texture. Maybe doll clothes?) - While I was out, I stopped by a pharmacy to see if they had thigh high compression socks* (they did, but if I’m spending that much I want colorful compression socks so I did not buy them) and found salsa without vinegar!! Salsa I am not allergic to! I haven’t had salsa in so long!!! This one is not craft related I’m just excited - My sewing time was also limited by my discovery of a new book series that I thought was going to be a legal drama/thriller, and then like a third of the way in it added magic and hinted at the fae and I was like “okay, sure?” and then another third of the way in it unexpectedly added the CIA and references what the CIA was doing in the 60s????? In what had been a magical realism legal thrilled???? And the initial legal case, previous heavily implied to be magic-related, might have instead been a coverup orchestrated by the CIA, possibly also using magic???? So I had to finish the first book before I could sew and now I can’t start the second book until tomorrow or I will not sleep until I finish it lol *I have chronic low blood pressure and/or tachycardia. My cardiologist said I should try thigh high compression socks to see if they work better than knee high, but if I’m wearing thigh high compression socks they are darn well going to be colorful! I’m not spending $60 on a single pair of beige socks

#the person behind the yarn #crafting updates #food mention #medical mention #the two tags are unrelated #I just try to tag for anything people might have blacklisted? #the vinegar thing is because I am allergic to vinegar #(well. possibly a pseudoallergy possibly an intolerance? either way if I eat it I have a reaction that can escalate to anaphylasis #depending on the quantity and concentration of vinegar and how long it's in my system before I take a benadryl) #I'm not judging vinegar in salsa in general. I suspect it is very good in most salsas #my theory for the book series is that the person who did the crime they are trying to solve did it for magic #to heal the main character as a child. I do not know which character did it but that's my working theory lol #(I am notoriously terrible at guessing the culprit in whodunnits so I don't think that counts as a spoiler lol)
