But I drove out to my favorite sitting spot in Point Reyes Station, because there is almost always a breeze in that spot, and there was, I got a little bit done. I took some photos that may be useable. Don’t know yet, because I have not pulled them off the phone, though it’s been some days since I took them. I’m thinking that these last two weeks, since the Kumihimo conference and the Covid, count for a bout of depression. It has been so damned difficult to rouse myself to anything very much. The heat, of course is a factor. It’s 80-something out, and I sit at a terminal in our un-airconditioned library. All your older public buildings in the Bay Area have no HVAC, as we so seldom need it. I swelter. I am sticky. I am very uncomfortable, and tomorrow it is supposed to be 90-something.

I also have a depression inducing situation to deal with, that I’m not dealing with, because it’s too hot. The paltry four items that I have managed to list in my Etsy Store; they have gone missing. They should be in the trunk of the car, but they are not. I have done a cursory search of storage, but a thorough search is required, and it is too hot.

Also depressing is the fact that this all springs from my necessarily hasty departure from the cat-sitting gig, a month or so back. Somebody said they would be back on a Friday, and then they called from the road from the airport on Thursday night. I had gotten myself way too comfortable (and I’ll never do that again), and there were quantities of stuff to get into the car in a large hurry. My best box of crochet hooks has been missing ever since, and it is only recently I realized that the prettily wrapped up jewelry pieces are not to hand for mailing, should one actually sell. I should have taken the listings down already, but I am feeling secure in the lack of traffic.

Dang. You cannot insert symbols into your WordPress posts. It is now a later day. I was going to denote this with some asterisks or hatch marks or something. They are all code, it seems.

I have uploaded the photos I took of easy things to list on Etsy. I have, from Joann’s, glass buttons to use for centers to wooly flowers. But Joann’s requires you to buy two pounds of the things, and I don’t need two pounds.
