What significant things have I done today?

pieces o nine

I am wrapping up a spontaneous 3-day weekend -- woohoo.

I'm adding some mittens, gloves & scarves to the line for winter, with and without leather accents. I've been invited to participate in the "good" holiday show in October. I have perpetrated two dozen fingerless gloves, but it has taken some re-thinking about 2D/3D shapes! The next group should go faster, I hope.

Way to be productive, Pieces!

Today I went to the follow-up from the mammogram I had six months ago which discovered a mass in the left girl. At that time they did an ultrasound and decided it was not cancer, but that I should come back in six months for another look. So I did and- nothing detected! So I think I'll try breathing again, here.

I also had a pelvic ultrasound as a follow-up from an endometrial ablation I had several years ago. I think it went well, but I guess I have to wait and get the official results. One odd thing though, apparently I still have an ovary on duty! What?! Gee- what is the female equivalent of "virile"- 'cos I suddenly feel that way today! Owarrrgggh!

Had my eyes tested, ordered new glasses and lenses etc (=costa-lotta), paid a cheque into the bank, posted off my tax return. Big day for me. Shattered.

I can't believe how much I spent on spectacles yesterday. I must be mad. I included updating my prescription sunglasses to the new prescription when I never go out anywhere and have not worrn them for years.

Making a spectacle of yourself, Griffin?  :mrgreen:
Hope you get un-shattered soon.  The sunglasses will come in handy for making the odd excursion on a sunny day more comfortable.
WWDDD?

Hee hee.

Glasses are outrageously priced. We've been buying our frames online through Zenni Optical recently, and they've been very good and very reasonable. Haven't rtied to buy lenses through them yet, but would consider it, since their service has been excellent so far.

I guess that doesn't help you now, but maybe you can keep them in mind for next time.

Actually not today but yesterday, I was too busy, I finally transferred my old Toyota Echo to my father (who has been driving the car for more than 18 months now). The thing has 200K miles and still running strong.

I wrote a couple of sentences of my dissertation..... Haven't written anything since June so need an extension which even then may not be long enough at two sentences per three months.

I don't know about progress, unless you call whipping out a load of rubbish progress. Now the dissertation is even smaller.

Sometimes whipping out garbage is progress, if it's what you have to do to get the job done. It is moving forward, after all.

Did you have to make any interesting creative reaches?
