However, due to an impulse buy that took two hours to complete, I did not get several items done which are now on today’s list. But I do have a new car. Not really that much of an impulse as my old car is 25years old. It’s still in great running condition, but it’s getting harder and harder to get parts for it.

The old car, a ’98 Saturn, will be my “I need to haul brush to the dump” car, while my “new” 10 year-old car will be the “travel on the highway” car. I figure the Saturn only has another year or so before the repairs are out of my price range. I must say after 40 years of driving a stick, the automatic is scary. I caught myself several times, feeling around for the clutch and putting my hand on the shifter.

My new to-do list has the things I didn’t get to yesterday on it. I hope to get them down before I need to leave for the maker space I belong to for a work day. My plans for that are to clear out and straighten the fabric bins which have many pieces of leftover fabrics that need to be measured, tagged with the yardage, and folded before going back into the bins. We have have quite a few members who make costumes. Others make clothes and household accessories. Some even bring in sails and boat cushions to repair, while others do upholstery. Hence the leftover fabric.

I also need to clean and oil the sewing machines and serger. And make certain they’re in good working order. I also do simple sewing machine repair. We have a member who repairs machines for a living, but I do the basic maintenance for three machines and the serger.

I better get started on my day.
