I've been freezing in my house the last few days so I thought Fine, will turn on the furnace and do a white wash and hang it in the furnace room to dry. Have done wash. Am no longer freezing in my house, even though the temps are still in the low teens. May turn on furnace anyway and just block the upstairs vents. The furnace room smells suspiciously rank, as does the back bunker, and I suspect something is nesting somewhere. Suspicion heightened by seeing a small dark something zip up next door's path and dart under their porch. Too small for a squirrel, too big for a mouse. Oh dear. But since a rainy May has succeeded a rainy April, am not going to get wash on the line anytime soon, besides not wanting to hang my smalls out for the neighbourhood to see. Nor do I like entrusting my underwear to the elastic-eating dryers of the laundromat. Shall end up hanging them from the chandelier, as I always do from June through October.
Went to the far coffee shop because they have a new kind of cookie, and thus missed a visit from bro and s-i-l come to get something from my basement.
I ordered two pairs of summer trousers from a FB place that google said was reliable. The cotton linen blend fit perfectly but the gauze ones were a size S rather than the 4X I prudently ordered from the Chinese makers. Or thought I did: none of the (many many) confirmation emails I got told me what size I'd ordered. They weren't cheap, but I feel disinclined to try sending them back, especially as they weren't as gauzy as I'd hoped. And who knows, maybe I'll get back to my 2021 weight and be able to wear the pants I bought then.
This won't happen if I keep eating cookies, of course, or halloumi. I love halloumi, which makes a lovely filling meal when grilled, but in the end it's still cheese and cheese is still saturated fat.
