My Version Of Destressing

sakon76Gardened after work. Put in almost all the rest of the tomatoes, and the last four jalepeno plants. Also the yellow crookneck squash, a couple of sugar baby watermelons, and my sole Minnesota midget melon that sprouted.
The first bout of corn is already starting to show tassel, and the potatoes I have tucked in here and there look very happy! And somehow I seem to've gotten chives volunteering where I don't think I've ever planted chives. Very confusing. The first of the zinnias and calendulas are starting to bloom, and the tomatoes that went in the ground a few weeks ago are already a foot tall.
Had turkey soup for dinner, watched the third episode of LoK, washed dishes, and worked some more on the 401. The presser foot still isn't lowered, but I oiled, heated, and whacked at it some more, and shall continue to do so until it submits. I also used q-tips and rubbing alcohol to clean some of the grease spatter from inside the machine's body. Problem is, I don't have a working sewing machine until I either get this one, the 101, or the treadle operational, or take Lilo to the repair shop and find out how much they're going to charge me. Which I will need to do at some point; none of my vintage machines are very portable for classes at Costume College. Well, except the 128K, but I kind of refuse to use a handcrank machine to teach a class on making petticoats. But this week, having just spent $alotofmoney on a car, I'm feeling kind of wary of unknown sums.
