Last night I put the new sheets on
my bed and pillowcases on pillows. I got them for Christmas and they
are kind of a fleece-like material. And they are really nice. The
night before last my feet got really cold and it woke me up. Last
night I was perfectly warm and comfy the whole time. I'm a fan.
When I woke up I read from a couple
different books and then had lunch. This afternoon I practiced on my
sewing machine again. Everything is still working, so I can only
conclude that it was in fact loose bobbin thread that was giving me
so much grief yesterday. Today I continued working on straight lines
but I also worked on starting and stopping exactly where I wanted to
on the fabric. My technique for stopping is to run it until it is
close to the end and then manually turning the wheel to stitch the
last few stitches. It's working out pretty well. Along with getting
better overall, my main concern is getting better with the foot
pedal. It is still zero to a hundred most of the time. It feels
like I am pressing it down as slowly as possible and then it hits the
magic spot and just takes off on me. I'm getting a little better at
predicting this and then backing off enough that it slows down but
doesn't completely stop. Practice makes better.
Along with doing laundry and helping
my mom set up her new gadget, I played Tera tonight.
I ended up getting in a party pretty quickly with a random person
from Brazil and we ended up running together most of the night.
Their English was way better than my Portuguese (not counting the
fact that I don't speak Portuguese). They said they had been an
exchange student in Wisconsin and that have given them the chance to
practice. That's pretty cool. We went through several quests and
ran through a dungeon twice and managed to get our bonds of
friendship up to 26. They plan on being on tomorrow so hopefully we
can party up again and hit a few more dungeons. None of my other
friends have been online and this new one seems to be my best chance
at the moment to get to 50 bonds of friendship and getting the Moon
mount. It is my final achievement and I only have a couple weeks to
get it. Which sounds like a long time to run through five dungeons
with the same person but I'm trying to do it with completely random
strangers who I have no communication with outside of the game. I'm
definitely earning this mount. And hopefully it ends with me getting
the mount.
Soon I will be going to bed so I can
wake up and read and sew and do whatever else. It kind of sucks that
tomorrow is already Wednesday. This week is disappearing and soon I
will have to go back to work. And school. I still need to check on
that and look into ordering my textbooks. Hooray.
