Patty, that sounds like a vacation, not a resettling trip to empty the storage locker. Did you leave the trailer at the self-storage site until you swing back through for the trip back to NM?

I have a couple of necklace cords for my lapis piece - it loops around itself through the hole in the stone donut then has two sliding knots for adjusting length. I'm going to put a stitch in the satin cord knots because they are so slick they can slide out easily but the leather cord knots look stable as they are. Now onto working on my other art pieces with political content.

Laundry day today, dictated by the low stack of undies in the dresser drawer. Trash day tomorrow, so I'll go through the house and see what is sitting around that needs to go; if the plastic isn't 1 or 2 I toss it now because the local company doesn't recycle it. The bagged recycling is in the garage and I'll take it over to the city bins mid-week; most of my neighbors seem to deposit there on the weekend, stuffing them completely full, so I go down after the company empties the bins on Thursday. (I often go down to those bins looking for boxes if I need something a certain size for shipping, in which case it's better to go when they're not completely full or it's too difficult to pull the boxes out without a cascade of cans and bottles in the process.)
