Mark today as a loss
I am at home today because I feel like ass from my eyeballs to my hips.
I need to get some food because our refrigerator is bare. I don't imagine I'll manage to muster the energy to do so. I suspect we'll have scrambled eggs for dinner.
After reading the PāNu post that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adammaker linked today, I've decided I'm not waiting until August to give up artificial sweeteners. I'm giving them up today.
*pause for applause*
I think/hope that this will help with the doughnut cravings. Dear god please let it help with the doughnut cravings.
Last night, I was distressed to discover I've lost my perfect shift dress pattern. The one I made three times until I got a perfect muslin that was adjusted for all my figure idiosyncracies. It doesn't look like the pattern is still in print, either. Much sadness. I could make a pattern off the dress I still have, but I don't remember how to sew the armhole/neckline facing. I remember there was something weird about it, but I can't figure it out from looking at the garment itself. It's been too long. I might go to the fabric store (but not today!), see if there is a similarly constructed dress pattern, and buy it for just the instructions.
Why in the world would a pattern company discontinue a princess-seamed shift dress? Seems like it would be a nice basic wardrobe staple to keep in the lineup. I guess my idea of "wardrobe staple" differs from that of the Big Three. Hmph.
Yesterday I figured out how to keep the hoop up. I'm keeping it up more than 50% of the time now. Someone else needs to make the dirty joke on that, because I just don't have the energy.
