Monday.

Work sucked. Work was f*****ng abominable today because in addition to all the normal hell that breaks loose on Mondays, we were trying to start payroll a day early because of the Thanksgiving holiday. (I am dreading the Christmas and New Year pay runs....)

On the other hand, the white and gold silk from Japan arrived today. 16 1/2 inches wide, almost 8 yards of it. That's enough to make something with, I should think.

The scary Hello Kitty fabric has been likewise acquired for jupiterorbit, as requested.  Or should that be for her cat?

Cranberry relish has been made and relegated to a mason jar. I hope it survives in my checked luggage because some TSA yahoo will probably make me throw it away if I try to carry it on.

Just checked the weather report for Portland. Sweaters it is.

Portland for T-Day

[jupiterorbit.livejournal.com]

Sweaters. Most definitely. Was going to mention it. My favorite embroidered lined suede jacket and long-sleeved T were not proof against the Portland morning. I don't care what the calendar says, winter is here. Curious as to whether I'll walk out to ice on the windshield in the morning.

It's for the cat. Honest. I never would contemplate HK brocade on myself unless really drunk and wanting to frighten someone who deserved it.

What sorts of beverages should we lay in for you? We're *way* out in the country. There is a 24-hour Wal*Mart quite some way away, but no 7-11 for late night Diet Caffeine Free Splenda RC with Lime runs.

Niska the Persian is practicing posing. He's good at it.

Fair warning: Thursday, I watch the National Dog Show. For some people, it's football. For me, it's the start of the dog show season. So pretend to care that somebody beats out one of the poodles as "yet *again* with the poodle best in show". I usually root for malemutes, huskies (especially if they're blue or odd-eyed) and beagles.

I don't do soda any more, so tea, hot or cold should do me fine.

Dog show trumps football any day. I tend to prefer a lot of the working breeds, myself.

See you tomorrow evening.

I looked it up on TiVo.com - I don't remember the exact channel (I think Bravo?) - but it's out there. Look up National Dog Show.

Also of interest since I did a subject search: I did, in fact, find 4 more dog shows, including the Pro-Plan in Oklahoma on Dec. 1!

I'd put the whole container inside a ziplock or closely wrapped plastic grocery store bag. At least spare the sweaters if the relish goes.
