From darkness to light

sakon76Yesterday seemed to be a bad day, not only for myself but for at least three other people I know. (OTOH, it was ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
racerxmachina and roseembolism's anniversary, so hopefully their day was good!) Woke with a headache, went to bed with a headache. Even two mugs of Sleepytime tea couldn't relax my shoulder tension last night. Thus, I got no writing done, and even though it was sewing night with Liz, I got no sewing done. Instead, while she was over figuring out pattern layout for her camo corset (which is going to be awesome when it's done) I made salsa and ran the two different fabrics I have earmarked for Regency dresses through the washer and dryer. I'm quite pleased with how they turned out, too. The cream raw silk with the blue floral print on it is, even wet, not transparent, and it kept its nice soft hand after being dried. The gray velveteen, on the other hand, actually improved though being washed. Oh my goodness, it's so soft and drapey now. I can't wait to have either of them made up into something I can wear!
This morning on waking, however... no tension pain. Only a little bit of sleep grogginess. The Santa Ana winds, blessedly, have stopped blowing. I remembered to take out all the fixings for dinner to thaw, jotted down the shopping list for after work, and even watered the patio plants. Today is going to be a good day. Maybe I'll even try going back to Marukai on the chance that they'll have the blue bamboo teapot I was looking at in the correct size....
