errands and more

 Woke thinking of the Create an attic bedroom project. The plan has been to make the bed area a reading nook, with bookshelves on three sides, and drawers under that open to the room. I had thought of a trap door to get to the under bed area behind the drawers, but now I realise that I want instead slightly sloped padded walls below the bottom bookshelves that serve as backrest, and have a hinge, so we can get to storage under the bed.

 

In other news, I got a note from Heather letting me know that my story isn’t one she will be publishing and wishing me luck finding it a home. This didn’t particularly surprise me, as I knew she had received far more stories than she can buy for this year’s collection, and my story reads more like a blog post than a story. (I have lots of practice writing blog posts, and none writing stories with plots, dialogue and character development.)

 

I had a zoom call with my sisters at 06:00, and managed to get up early enough to do a quick pilates session before the call. After the call I went back to bed for an hour and a half extra sleep.

 

We got up on time to catch the opening ceremonies of Drachenwald Kingdom Uni, and also watched the class on period maps, navigation, etc., which was extremely well done.

 

But then we put the computer down and went into town to get more wet room spackel, the linolium for the floor in the attic loo, and glue to install it.

 

While we were out we stopped by the second hand store, where we found a cheap Dawn Light and a few glasses and a tea mug that he thought worth bringing home. We also stopped by the Dollar Store store to get more cat treats.

 

After we were home I lost a game of Qwirkle, did some sewing, and finished the spackeling in the attic loo, followed by washing a load of laundry, as the clothes I had worn in the attic were dusty and full of sawdust.

 

That took long enough that I got most of the final seam on Keldor copper trim tunic done. Then I did you yoga, and now I wonder how it is 22:22 already, and thinking I should get some sleep.
