what a day it has been

The blue check dress is going nowhere. :/ 75% done and it transpires that the fabric is just too stiff to work with the pattern. I plan to keep the skirt, anyway. I wish I could stop doing this but ... I can't.

To make up for how infuriating all that was, I worked on things I'm reasonably good at: re-sac'd two of my vintage pens (the third turned out not to have a J-bar - I don't know if I'll take one from the pen I don't like or wait for a really crappy one to come along) and worked on a short piece for the November r/fantasywriters challenge, gaslamp fantasy.

Still haven't totally decided what I'm doing on Thanksgiving, but right now, with all this snow, getting a plane in Ogdensburg seems the most likely. But parking at the airport will be $40 ... (We have taxis, but they cost as much or more.)
