It’s been a week of mostly playing, although as a workaholic I get some work done even on days off. \u00a0I am back to my routine of doing laps around the neighborhood, which is something I’m happy to get back to. Some of my best insights come to me when I’m walking alone at all hours. \u00a0Plus it’s a break since I live and work at home. \u00a0I check email when I wake up and this morning I found my Paypal debit card had been hacked<\/a>. I called and they took care of it right away. \u00a0A gorgeous day outside, like 75 degrees, low humidity, so I spent the morning working in the yard. \u00a0I pulled a few miles of wedelia and potato vine, and moved a dozen potted plants off my east patio. Since I’ve removed a privacy line <\/a>of a dozen loquat saplings, I wanted to change the view from the street. \u00a0I formed a new path with the stepping stones and grouped the potted plants together at the end of the path. \u00a0I love the new look, and I have more room to enjoy my east patio.<\/p>\n

I went inside and moved the tv onto a rolling table, which freed up a short dresser. I glanced inside it to find\u00a0a treasure store of favorite lounging pajamas from years ago! \"red<\/a>I pulled out the\u00a0sewing machine and ironing board and spent the afternoon cutting and sewing\u00a0them to fit my leaner body. I haven’t sewn for a couple of years <\/a>and it felt good. \u00a0I’d forgotten how relaxing and in the zone sewing gets me. \u00a0The afternoon flew. \u00a0On the silky leopard print lounger, I cut the legs off mid calf and used the fabric to make pockets for the camisole top. \u00a0Perfect! I immediately put them on. On the red and gold pjs, \u00a0I cut the top a little narrower and took in the pants and gave a new waistband. \u00a0With a 3\/4 sleeve, they are perfect for the warmer weather. \u00a0I like putting pockets in everything. Why do I need pockets in my pajamas? I never know when I’ll want to take home a dream.<\/p>\n
