Sep. 25th, 2014 02:21 amThe one thing I dislike about the medicine I (occasionally) take for muscle cramps during sleep is that once they take hold - my goodness, do I sleep! I took some yesterday morning and didn't wake up until six o'clock in the evening. Groggy but rested. There is a reason why I just deal with those darned spasm-thingies as best I can, without drugs.
Bossman was watching TV with his headphones on... I gave him those things but I don't know if I like them or not. He has the sound cranked up pretty high on them, so I worry that they may be harming his hearing more than helping. And the house is so silent in cases like today's. Rather creepy, actually, because I can feel that someone is in the house but I have no noise to clue me in as to where or who. I wasn't too groggy to make taco salad for 'dinner', though, and we spent a couple of hours watching TV together before he headed to bed.
Today was his final (we hope) radiation treatment. At last he can let all of the horrible sticky-tape over the multitude of sharpie-pen marks start to come off. Taking the tape off is a Bad Idea as it will also remove a few layers of skin at the same time. But getting it nice and soapy, and tired of holding on, is a good one. He has over a month before he'll have to do tests again. What bliss.
It took me approximately 10 hours to remove all the stitches from my protogee's chemise's neckline. Luckily for my cramping fingers, the sleeves are too long and all I'll have to do is cut them off at the cuff and then re-sew them as they ought to have been done. I'm looking forward to giving it back to her tomorrow. I'm also looking forward to giving her the three yards or so of straps for her Viking apron-dress (hangerroc). She was low on fabric for the making of the hangerroc so I used a scrap cut into short strips, then sewed all of them end-to-end, folded the length over by fourths and stitched the edges. It will be right, one long loop over each shoulder for the brooch pins to go through (and one short loop at each front point) but my goodness was that a tedious bit of sewing. All those tiny seams stopping me every time I'd get in a stitching rhythm! Stitch, fold, stitch, fold, stitch, stop, fold carefully, sew three stitches, fold over again and hold carefully some more, stitch... ah, past that and back to 'normal'. For about five minutes. ARG!
But at least she won't have Osh-Gosh-By-Gosh overall straps like a Minne-so-ta Viking. :)
And I am excited, excited, excited that I found denim fabric with stripes that look like early-period inkles, which I shall use as trim for many, many Viking & Anglo-Saxon items.
