I threw away a pen today. This is huge for me since I usually keep them around for years before I decide I cannot fix them. This one was a Faber Castell felt tip pen with a medium nib. I have better pens with specific nib sizes so when this one stopped writing I decided I could let it go. Another step toward being able to walk around in my room.

Turned it into a great day, had loads of fun and it cheered my sisters up too :2thumbsup:

My abdominal, flank and lower back muscles were sore, which means that the electric muscle stimulator belt is giving me a great workout in those areas.

I do not handle or adapt to change well. I came back after a 2 week holiday a couple of weeks ago and all my sales went down the tube and motivation bottomed out.
Now i am back on track and catching up to the others in my team in sales. Sucks arse because we are all the specialists there and roughly equivakent. I have made a rod for my back and have to do much better than normal top catch ground. Still have two weeks though and may well catch them yet.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Bought 3 winter/Christmas Tshirts for $1 each, a fleece pullover and a pair of flannel lounging pants for $3 each.  Downside was that I did't really need these things.

But you spent less than $10 for all of them.  Do you mean that you won't wear them?

Yes, I'll wear them.  Only 2 tops were for me.  The other top, fleece pullover as well as some underwear and a pair of exercise pants were for the PR.  The lounging pants were for PA.  It's just that I have about 25 or more Tshirts and I really don't need any more.  But, I'm a sucker for a bargain.

After looking for about 10 years I finally found a sewing machine table.  I had thrown my old one out because it was so rickety and always meant to replace it.  Well the ones sold today are mostly super duper ones for sergers, take up half a wall or cost over $150 if you can find an old-fashioned one that folds up to make a small table that stores the machine.  Anyway there was one for sale 1/2 price at the thrift store.  It was $15 for both the table and the Singer sewing machine in it, which I will most likely dispose of, or give to the PR for practicing on.

Now, to find a place for it.

That's very cool.  I have my grandmother's small folding sewing machine table with her sewing machine.  It comes with a chair with storage in the seat.

My mum has an old cast-iron one with a wheel that you have to manually turn to power it.  We both just sew things by hand whenever we need to.

That's very cool.  My other grandmother had one sort of like that, except that you pumped an iron pedal up and down with your foot.
