M seems to have recovered from his interview defeat after talking with other Finance People about where to go next. He was also greatly boosted by the arrival of a hand-forged machete that he'd ordered, and he spent the evening chatting with me about different types of machetes and Viking long knives and other such things.

Elizabethan Stitches arrived last night. Fantastic reference, will use often. The only book in the ether now is Spanish Fashion at the Courts of Early Modern Europe, which will be coming from Spain and which I've yet to receive a confirmation on. Hmm. I'm going to give it another week and then try contacting customer service to make sure the order's been received.

As expected, I was too tired to do anything much last night beyond eat a bowl of chili and pass out. We had a lovely storm roll in in the wee hours, very nice to sleep to. M was unaware we were supposed to have storms, and woke me up because he thought someone was taking pictures of our house? No honey, that's lightning, go back to sleep.

Anticipating many catch-up chores this weekend. There is a mountain of dishes I've been ignoring, and the bathroom needs a good scrub. Not getting my hopes up about getting any sewing done. I may make a drive up to Frisco's Ikea and pick up the bookcase I've been needing, since the closer store is perpetually out of stock. My book piles around the house are getting out of hand and they need a home, and I need a day out.
