All the floss

or not, as the case may be.

It was errand day. My plan had been 1) post office 2) Micheal’s 3) breakfast out with Alex 4) Ralley’s 5) Starbucks 6) Sprouts 7) Petfood Express (cat food) and home. I even managed to hit every place on the list – except for the Post Office. The two packages I had planned on mailing are sitting, waiting for me. Somewhere in the house. Argh!

However, Michaels (Pinole) didn’t have all the thread colors I needed. I had actually gone through my master set and made a list of anything missing. Of course, what they didn’t have was what I needed for the needleworker. Argh.

But Michaels in Emeryville had it, so that trip, high time suck, low cost, was worth it. As were the lovely peach pastry pockets from Acme Bakery.

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
