Yay for Friday.  This week has dragged, so I’m glad it’s done. 

Yesterday was alright.  After work I relaxed a bit and then went to Joann Fabrics and bought my pj pattern.  I also bought some elastic.  I am planning on making a couple pair of pajama pants.  I have some fabric sitting around and a couple of the fabrics I can use for the pants.  The pants are a very easy project, but one of my fabrics has stripes, so that might make it more challenging if I choose to try and match the stripes.   Joann didn’t seem to have any t-shirt type knit fabric, so I’ll have to shop somewhere else for that if I want to make any pj tops.  I’ve only been in that particular store a few times, but the variety of apparel fabrics isn’t very large, however, it seems like they have whatever color and pattern of fleece you could possibly want.  I guess their focus is on crafts and home decorating. 

I also went to Trader Joe’s since it’s nearby.  Among other things, I bought some almonds and cheese sticks.  I like that they have monterey jack cheese sticks - I like them better than the mozz. cheese ones.  I like the Sargento cheddar cheese sticks, but they can be expensive.  Once or twice I’ve cut block cheese into sticks and wrapped them separately in plastic wrap.

Rain is forecast for tomorrow, so I might start my sewing project tomorrow. Also on my plate for the weekend is getting a chest x-ray.  I don’t need an appointment, but the hospital is saying they didn’t receive the order from my doc, while my doc’s office said it was sent - twice.  Grrr.  I’m also going to a class at the gym tomorrow morning.   Plenty of other stuff to do around the house - laundry, etc.  Last weekend I finally washed the curtain panels that used to hang in the DR and LR.  They are folded and packed for eventual sale or donation.  This weekend I think I’ll do a load of the throw rugs.  On top of my clothes.  Ugh.  I did a load yesterday, so that’s one less load to do this weekend.   Sunday is supposed to be nice weather, so I might nail down bf on doing some canoeing in the afternoon.

I think today was the 4th day I brought bank statements on the train.  I move through them pretty quickly, but there’s a lot of years, so it’ll be another week at least.  I forget how long you have to dispute suspected errors with the bank, but there’s really no point in keeping the statements after they’ve been reconciled. 

Today’s breakfast was cottage cheese w/ mandarin oranges, lunch was a turkey sandwich from quiznos & 1/2 bag chips.  Snacks…not good.  Dinner will be grilled pork chops. 

That’s about it.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
