MaJoC, the books that Charmion and I have been reading by Gary Taubes and others are not a substitute for going to see a doctor, but they do offer insight into the diseases caused by diet. In particular, sugar is associated with metabolic diseases (there is a cluster of them - including diabetes, gout, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis). Something to look into.

Recycling dropped off, and the items given by a friend have been bagged for donation to the teachers project at the end of the month, stored out of the way in the garage. Finishing up a couple of regular job things here to free up time to sew. A friend still wears the 3D Covid masks and likes the Pride pattern I had printed (before Joann's went out of business I tried to get another batch, but they had closed down the online bespoke fabric store already). He heads to New York every year for Pride events so I'll make him a couple more. I still have some of that fabric for these.
