sewed my pajama pants most of the way; remembered that last time I did this pattern I thought the waistband needed to be lower, and surprise surprise the waistband needs to be lower

but I am too tired to do a good job ripping out the waistband tonight so that will be a job for future me

called @markwarner.bsky.social to leave a very tired voicemail about the shutdown vote today. no staffers in the office on the weekend so they're not picking up, of course

Anyone here able to offer an insight on the possible significance of a descending melodic major/aeolian dominant/mixolydian b6 scale in a particular Händel aria? Google scholar is not kicking up any results I can access

yesterday J and I got to the restaurant and the cook greeted us and said that the waitress called out and she, the cook, was the only one there, and she would be happy to serve us but things might be a bit slow

pro: I like ground turkey actually

con: if you cook ground turkey in the cast iron then the cast iron will smell Weird next time you heat it up

pro: but today's tortillas turned out really nice!

con: the secret ingredient is letting the dough rest for half an hour and I have no chill

a stupid problem that I am overthinking:

I bought a Switch Lite but only used it a couple of times bc the screen is too small for me.

So I would like to factory reset it and donate it to a Kid In Need, but idk where specifically to do that given that it's used >

don't want to go anywhere tomorrow but in PT they had me doing some stuff while having a big foam roller under my spine, which was real weird in a balance kind of way but also there was Big Stretch and I kinda want Big Stretch so I might need to get a big foam roller myself

excellent antiquing adventure with @jrho.bsky.social. Saw many cursed items and also bald eagles flying over the river!

also stopped at Gardening Gays Farm for fresh produce. Eggs for $5/dozen and some delicious pastries!

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

on the way back from PT I saw a Capital Area Food Bank banner at a church, letting folks know they're giving out fresh food on Saturday.

CAFB is working so hard rn, I want to hug them

Followup doctor's appt to make sure the implant is doing what it's supposed to be doing (it is)

the appointment was fine but driving during rush hour with the sun in my eyes was not very fun! got a pastry about it.

I didn't know this existed!
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I am seeing ads for Wicked tie-ins but all the products are scent-based? laundry soap, deodorant, maybe air fresheners?

is it that watching video game playthroughs makes youtube think I need some help in the smell department, or does Wicked have a scent-heavy canon?
