Things are looking up
1. Win#1: was able to legitimately blow off the annual office Christmas thing at the race track to dig out my desk on Thursday. It was dead quiet and I had a very productive afternoon which did not involve attempting to socialize or keep down steam table buffet lunch and cocktails.
2. Win#2:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
layla_lilah came over last night for a pre-Twelfth Night powwow about party refreshments. Dinner was take-out from Hong Kong City, followed by viewing "The Men Who Tread On The Tiger's Tale" and "Kuroneko" (the latter because she hadn't seen it before and I didn't mind watching it again. Ginger beef with scallions, mango chicken, spinach with garlic, rice and two char siu bao to save for breakfast this AM. My digestive system received it all gratefully and didn't complain.
3. Win#3: realized my genius idea of a reversible karaginu required more silk, so I bugged out early to Los Altos to discover that Thai Silks had a 25% off sale on all merchandise, including the jacquard I needed more of. The ladies at the store are really nice. I don't mind a field trip down there, particularly if they're having a sale.
4. Win#4: Gekkeikan Sake's old laurel wreath logo is really quite pretty. And on that note, I am going to switch laundry loads and see if I can cut a stencil using said logo, less the company name, of course.
EDIT 5. Win#5, Lumiere's "bright gold" looks awesome on the silk jacquard. Unfortunately, the natural light on a December afternoon is nowhere near as easy to work in as natural light in the summer and the high intensity lamp is, in some ways, making it harder to judge what I'm doing.....Break's over, back on my head.
