Things getting done
Aug. 7th, 2025 02:50 pmI've begun writing the postcards for Postcards to Swing States. They won't be mailed until October, but I figure writing a few every day will keep my hands from cramping.
I got the wallpaper ordered for my bedroom. I hope I calculated the measurements correctly. It's only on one wall, fortunately. Quick question: should the other walls be painted to match the background color of the wallpaper? or should I pick one of the colors from the pattern?
I've opened boxes with jars for storage and gotten beans, flour, sugar, couscous, etc. off the pantry shelves. Since the pantry is tiny, it's better to have staples in jars near the stove.
I found out that I'm allowed to give blood again. I gave regularly in Belgium and the UK throughout the 1980s. When I got back to the U.S. the worry about mad cow meant I wasn't allowed to donate here. Apparently, they finally relented (in 2023, dammit) and I'm now considered safe to give. Since there's a shortage here, I'm glad I can give again. Sis, is coming with me to the appointment next week.
Other than that, I've been doing some writing.
