It is nearly 11 pm Sunday night. I almost forgot about this. That would have been tragic, and I'm glad that I'm avoiding the emotions that would have been associated with such tragedy.

This week passed. Nothing super remarkable. I sewed a new shirt yesterday and finally finished sewing the panties I'd drafted and cut out. Panties for my partner, just so your mind is in the right gutter. Men's panties. This means boxer briefs, for the squares out there. Have a little fun with life, I say, fully knowing that words have meanings and blah blah blah. This is when you're supposed to be proud of me for finishing 2 out of the 3 sewing projects I had cut out and ready to start machine work on. Next up is a sleeveless button-up out of a fun, indigo-esque linen I bought when I was in fashion school. While that thread is in my machine, I'll finish up a pair of pants I (mostly) made for a garment construction class. I'll be partially elasticating the waist and adding a drawstring.

I've also got some other creative plans on my radar; time will tell if I venture in that direction. How's everyone else's spring starting? I did 30 push-ups today. I'm stating facts and asking indirect questions because I, once again, am unsure what I'm writing about.

Speaking of indirect questions, I was chatting with a friend this week about how necessary I think having a computer is, and wanted to let any of y'all who only use a phone or a tablet know that you're weird. I forgot to make that a question because I wanted to tease you. The question was going to be something about whether you use a computer, be it a lap or desk top, or if you're a weirdo. I prefer the rich interface that a computer gives. I hope to someday have a home computer again, ala the early 2000's. Still manifesting the fully remote overpaid job of my (and hopefully your) dreams. Your dreams, too, because you're hoping for it for me, that's what friends do. Side note, I am working a part-time job, but life is expensive, and there is always room to grow (my income). What a pleasure it would be to be fully remote, full-time. I'd love it, I'm sure. I know my dog would. I'd love to make enough money to comfortably pay my bills, ya know?

ANYWAY. I bought some flower seeds last year at the dollar tree. I think I might haphazardly throw them somewhere and hope for the best. I'm also dreaming about starting some seeds. I have recently thoroughly neglected some of my houseplants, so maybe trying to grow plants right now is just one of my silly things to pass the time temporarily because I have an issue with the follow-through, upkeep, routine, practice, etc. It's unfortunate because I'd be thrilled to be a version of me that does things and sees them through. Maybe someday, hopefully someday. Maybe soon!!

This isn't my favorite short, sweet newsletter; that one hasn't been written yet. However, it is the best one right now, because it is the one I am sending out. Sometimes when this happens, I feel so guilty that I think about the next newsletter all week, and a great one follows up, okay? Let's stick to that story. Best of luck this week, everyone!!

What's this about donating? It's for Family Resources of the Quad Cities. Now through the end of April, which is sexual assault awareness month, this button will be here. No pressure, I can't afford to donate right now, which is why this is here; I wanted to show support in a way that was feasible for me. If you're a Quad Citizen, I encourage you to go to the pop-up market on April 18 at the Rock Island Bent River. A long-time friend of mine has put together the event, and it would mean a lot to a lot of people for it to be successful.
