ursulas_alcoveWe elected to run errands today. An empty fridge and pantry kind of necessitated it. Orders were processed today. We went to two different post offices. One closed at 5. With a long line, we weren't sure we would make it. The second post office had an OMG! line. It was open until 6 pm. I handed Chrono my packages and told her I'd pay her back. Didn't want to make the line even longer. Mostly people have no clue on what postal regulations are. They try to ship things that were never meant to get shipped that way. A lady was trying to overnite an aerosol by plane to Alaska. The post office requires it go by land because an aerosol at altitude or without heat could explode, something like that. Dumb stuff. For every rule, something really bad happened to cause the rule to exist. People have no idea how to package either. I once spent time with a lady trying to explain where she could still get brown paper bags or buy brown paper to cover her box. It had too many bar codes on it. It's like a casual driver joining rush hour traffic. Us regulars know the rules and navigate through it quickly but these Sunday drivers do not have a clue. How do we know so much? Chrono is an insomniac. She read the entire postal code one summer as a means to fall asleep, well maybe not the whole thing, but you get the idea. The rest is by experience.
No work was done today at all. Here are pictures of yesterday's progress:
Triangle shawl, two or three more days.
Cutting next rigid heddle piece:
Need to knot the fringe and wash/full this one.
That's about it. We made it with time to spare into Pittsburgh. Shopped, drove home, made dinner. Had a surprise as one of our ground beefs wasn't a ground beef. It'd been seasoned with Italian spices of undetermined origin. With allergies, that didn't happen. Hubby will get those for lunch. I may make hime meatball bombers or something. So dinner had to be rebooted. We ate at 10 at night. Sleep schedule is all screwed up. It happens.

I work hard at denuding boxes and cleaning of anything a machine can read wrong .
and not letting anything that can
catch in the machine poke out or tear.
makes box almost water proof.
there's a card coming your way
its coming first class should be there in another week at first class ....
