This weekend ended up being a pretty good one, despite some initial stress. There was a sewing day with the Guild on Saturday, and since I couldn't get a ride from anyone, I ended up having to rent a car. I couldn't flake out on the event since I was supposed to be the one running it, so it was a necessary expense, even though I had to provide more documentation for renting a stupid compact Hyundai then I've had to for anything else in my entire life. (Three forms of ID, a bill in my name proving I live where I live, and two references. WTF, y'all.) Of course, only one other couple ended up coming, so it was just me, M, and the two new folks, but I did manage to get two new 18thC petticoats finished, so at least it was productive.
Since we had the car all weekend (no Sunday returns allowed), M and I ended up taking a long drive in the country on Sunday and enjoying a day to ourselves away from the house. We've been cooped up and pretty much stranded at the house ever since the Lincoln died, and it was so nice to get out and have a little bit of freedom. We drove all along FM 4, which goes through the Palo Pinto "mountains". (They're more like really ambitious hills than real mountains, but they're still pretty.) It was actually still green out, instead of the usual brown we have at this time of year, so it was really lovely.
Also, I fell off the diet wagon pretty hardcore while I was sick, so today it's back to low carbing it. Hopefully I can start losing weight again, because I stalled pretty hard after my initial week and hadn't been losing any more. Maybe the splurging will help kick it into gear.
