The weekend approacheth

Posted on Saturday, November 16th, 2019 at 2:33 pm

TRD is a week away. Nuff said.


The alpaca arrived today, as did the office chair arm pad covers. It was definitely the strangest online purchasing week of the year. I have an “info” source filter on my spamdeath account, because of a load of spam from a rash of .info mail servers. The alpaca address was info@, and the automatically generated emails couldn’t be replicated. So I was trackless and the package late. But I had faith, and indeed they did arrive.


The sweater is unique in the collection. It’s the thinnest of the three, it’s the only one with a hood, but it has the same style of woven pockets as the first one. (Second one has cotton pockets, like jeans.) It’s a nice party sweater. And it fits properly.


The poncho is the kick around alpaca. Heavy, no frills, nice to the touch, good sleeper. It will stand up to the task. I like it better than the picture tells. There is a subtle weave pattern that doesn’t show in the image.


The last few days have seen its share of light rain. Not that it didn’t soak up post haste. But it’s sunny now, around 60°F, and warming in the days ahead.


The fridge is bare, except for a ribeye. (No ribeye freezer burn in this house.) Well, there’s cheese and produce, et al, but only the one entree, and it gets broiled shortly. I need to think “party” in my diet this week. It’s time for stretch and fast.

Mooo
