Amber:
I guess I missed something regarding Hol's "other woman" in the jury pool? Did I read that right?
Congrats on overcoming the tech glitch. That's difficult stuff for me to wrap my mind around and it comes'round
every
darn
month.
Hops: It looks like you'll have the support of the minister? I guess I'm wondering if the elder net plan could or would go forward with or without the minister's support. Is the minister's support necessary? I don't know, so I'm asking.
It sounds like a wonderful project for you, your experience and talents.
Good luck with that, for sure.

Hopalong:
It'll make a big difference to have her support. She's doing a very good job as our interim and that unites the cong.
I was nearly blackballed after my 2-year involvement with the attempted coup against the previous miNinster (which was a decision of conscience I do not regret, but it made board members uneasy). So it'd be great to have a new project to head up that also has the support of leadership.
We'll see how it goes. If games begin, I can gracefully retreat.

Lighter - Hol's situation isn't important; to her. Involves former relationship. She didn't obsess over it, as much as I thought she would - so, she truly is past her feelings about that situation. (Which is good news.)
I've got a few things to put under cover today and take care of before we get the predicted monsoon of rain from Ida tonight. Some more little things to get ready for the weekend (back to "almost fall" temps!!!) Some shopping to take care of.
Then, I think I'm looking for some completely unstructured time to just let my brain unwind. I have a pair of pants to repair for Buck, and some other "bug" to do some sewing. One of Hol's friends is commissioning her to make her kids a large stuffed dragon for Christmas. I've made puppet theaters, bears, etc toys in the past so I said I'd help. I might have some patterns to jump start her idea-process. We're both in the decision process for dress forms, too. They've gotten pretty extravagant, compared to what I remember. Customizable, with arms & legs even. Might help with the "pants" project Hol & I are talking about.
There is an extreme vacumn in the category of women's work clothes. Duluth Trading used to be pretty good - but not lately. Too many synthetic fabrics - which are horrible for welders. Carhartt has expanded their women's line - but the fit isn't always workable in the general size ranges available. I tried overalls in both large & extra large - and neither of them fit me well - length of inseam is way long. Gardeners need different pocket setups than shop/fabrication pants... construction something else. So, we're thinkin' on it.
There hasn't been so many women in the trades since WWII. It doesn't get a lot of press, but they are definitely out there!
Hopalong:
I like the sound of Red Ants pants, since they have both a straight and a curvy option! Cool.

I'm very behind Skep and have skipped through some bits but I am delighted that Buck got there and the two of you had a good time :) Also that Hol seems to have got more on board with the whole thing. Did an eek! at the medical stuff. Such a nightmare and so frustrating that it's just an endless amount of things to sort out, all of it avoidable if others did what they're supposed to, I presume? And calling ex wife? And was that the ex that was then staying at the house? I'd have had a little meltdown, I'm glad all of that got sorted and she's gone off doing whatever she does. I'm really pleased you got that time together and I hope the next visit comes around really soon xx
