While it might be true that yesterday I never showered, got dressed, or left the house, it is also true that I finished another the quilts in progress.

Quilt

This one is roughly 84 inches by 84 inches (most of the patches are 6” squares). My artistic inspiration for making this one is that I own way too much fabric and it can be cold in the office. Since I’m keeping this one (in my office), I haven’t yet gotten around to putting in the time to take a reasonable, non-keystoned photograph where the entire quilt is in frame (and square).

I will leave you with some Monday omens.

  1. Another carryover from Sunday: Walgreens texted me that my prescription refill was ready about an hour before the pharmacy closed, and I was not motivated to drive to Walgreens in my pajamas, so I decided to stop by Walgreens on my way to work this morning. The pharmacy was still closed.

  2. The Starbucks next to the Walgreens was out of my preferred ridiculous drink. A barista claims that every Starbucks west of Bakersfield received incomplete restocking orders this week. Is Amazon secretly running Starbucks as well as Whole Foods?

  3. The Walgreens and the Starbucks are right by the exit to get on the 805. And so I was left thinking about the tragic hero archetype that I learned about in 9th grade English class: Do I get on the 805 north in the morning and then take the 805 to the 163 to the 15? Or do I drive a few miles on surface streets to get on the 163 in Hillcrest or University Heights? My GPS always wants me to take the 805, but I just don’t understand how it can be faster to take the 805 when traffic is almost always motionless.

  4. Our site went down for about 20 minutes today.
