May. 19th, 2015 03:19 pmI'm trying not to be gloomy, but it's a losing battle at the moment. The weather is gloomy and I had to go to a lunch meeting with indifferent pizza. I know it was indifferent pizza, but I could have eaten about five slices anyway. (I stopped at two.) And my feet are cold, because I'm wearing my work-appropriate spring shoes and no stockings and the meeting room was on the frigid side. That was an hour and a half and a very large mug of tea ago and my feet are still cold.
However, I have no more mandatory lunch meetings until next Wednesday, which is good. And theoretically the sun will be out again tomorrow, so I can go elsewhere for lunch and photosynthesize for a bit. And tomorrow I have my first voice lesson since the middle of March. I didn't turn in the registration form on time on account of being out of the country, so I got stuck with lessons on Wednesdays at 6:00 instead of on weekends, which I had requested. Last time I tried weeknight lessons, I had to stop because I wasn't getting much out of them except frustration. But last time I was still working for OFA, and that was a whole other ball of wax. Last summer when I had glee club rehearsals at 5:30 on Wednesdays, that was OK, and hopefully starting at 6:00 will give me time to get there and chill out a little before my lesson. And there are all sorts of dinner options on the way home afterward, too (and Wednesday is still my eat-anything day).
Speaking of eating things, HSDM is starting its own private (not officially led by WW) WW group. So that's an optional Thursday lunch meeting. I think the first rule ought to be "no judging anybody else's lunch". I know what worked for me, but it will be interesting to see what works for other people. If I had a car, or if I lived somewhere that meant I couldn't get to the grocery store unless I drove, things would have to work differently.
Speaking of things that work, I think I'm back on the right track embroidery-wise. Or at least, if I'm making a mistake, I'm making a different mistake than I was last time. I had to tear out the whole top of the current repetition to get back to the place where I made the initial mistake, and fix it. As of last night I'm almost back to where I was when I realized I couldn't fake it and had to actually fix it. Progress, our most important product. (Progress is also the opposite of Congress, and that is as political as I'm going to get on the internet.)
Still working through HHhH, and starting to get slightly annoyed with the "That whole last section? I made it up. But I think it's a good piece of writing even though it didn't happen, so I put it in" bits. I suppose I should be glad he admits it, but I wish he would stop doing it so much.
