I mean, really.

•  The hat workshop was satisfying and exhausting.   The hat frame I made is most becoming; I've covered the brim and today will start on the crown.  I arrived to discover I'd brought the foot pedal to the Bernina but not the power cord (!!!).  My kindly table-mate let me use her machine, which had lots of automatic features including dropping the presser foot only when you hit the foot pedal (I hated this!), automatically backstitching and cutting thread (cool) and going into a funk requiring a reboot when I hit millinery wire with the needle (!!!!).  It turned out to be an $11,000 machine -- with advanced embroidery features, admittedly.   At that price I can get a used car.  (huggles her 20-year-old Bernina)
• Thai Silks in Los Altos is drastically cutting back on the range of fabrics they sell because customers aren't buying -- for instance, they're cutting back to black, white, and beige taffeta only. :(
• Last month my son's video card died, the water heater died, and I had to make an emergency plumber call for a blocked sink and tub.
• Yesterday the dryer turned out not to work (hoping this can be repaired), the cat brought a live lizard into the house, the tub was still not draining properly, and my son developed an ailment that needs doctor's attention on a weekday.  (We called the advice line to check.)  The plumber offers a 30-day guarantee on drain cleaning, so I'll be calling them tomorrow.
• The Kim Kardashian game is as addictive as advertised.
• Note to self:  Pretty people are more likely to post selfies than plain people.   The fact that all the selfies you see on your feed are pretty should not lead you to believe that you're a hag.
