Happy Caturday! #cats #caturday

I am cautiously optimistic that my fever is gone.

I would still rather go through this than ever have shingles again

Making note of side effects for future reference: low grade fever (hovering around 100°F) fatigue, body aches, one bout of shivering

The first installment of the vac only gave me a sore arm + some redness at the injection site for a few days.

I'd really like to take a shower but I'm exhausted and a little wobbly so it doesn't seem like such a good plan right now.

Got the second dose of my shingles vac today - just recording it here so I remember later when I got it.

But I recommend avoiding getting shingles if possible because it is really hecking painful

Tribble Patterns

Two pieces, with darts, would make a rounded Tribble

One piece, like a flat figure 8 folded over

Two pieces, figure 8 shapes put together like a softball - would make a spherical tribble but fur goes multiple directions

My sewing project list is growing.

-pajamas
-cover for footstool
-wide-legged pants
-small satchel
-quilts
-t shirts
-underwear and bras

I hate how underwear and tees wear out so fast, and I think I can do better.

repairs:
-pants waistband
-holes in sheets
-shorten a couple of tees that are an awkward length

I made a tarot bag for my Dreaming Way deck. The raw silk fabric is from a thrifted table runner. It's not perfect; it's been a long time since I've sewn something even as simple as a drawstring bag. But I'm happy with it. #tarot #sewing

I mean, I don't think it's gross. But I thought I should include that in the CW
