Socks and MP3s

lillilahI can't say if today was super productive, as I think I spent most of the day being really anxious, so I don't remember it all that clearly. I think. Anyway, I went for a walk in the rain and finished up (finally) all the music that I had downloaded in the last batch for the podcast. I think it may have taken me longer than usual to get through the whole batch, as I lost a lot of my ratings from when we were in the US over the summer. I spent some time getting the 15GB of new music that I have downloaded since I started listening to the last batch imported into my music player and organized. It is always fun at the beginning of a new batch, because I suddenly get to listen to so much new music.
In other news, all the drawers for the computer hutch have the vertical edges covered in paper and all the edges on the inside on the bottom. Now, I just need to deal with the top edges (where you can see the cut cardboard) and any touch-ups. After that, it's cabinet doors and then decorative elements. I think I can get through most of the decorative elements pretty quickly, as a lot of them are just simple alchemical symbols (like oxygen or vinegar), planetary symbols (we all know the ones for Mars and Venus, for example, since those are the ones we use for male and female), or other simple designs (eye and pyramid, for example). However, at least the sphinxes will be a lot of work (probably). I am considering putting them in after most of the other parts are done, so that I am actually able to use the hutch sometime soon.
I finished two pairs of compression socks, which means I was able to throw away two pairs that were falling apart. I'll cut another couple of pairs out tomorrow, which will give me enough so that I'm not wearing ones with holes anymore. After that, it is a new pair of underwear or two (I think probably two, since it will be pretty quick that way). I'm more concerned about making the shirt and hoodie, since I had to draft a new shirt pattern, and I'm sure it will need adjustments (which isn't the fun part). The hoodie pattern isn't mine, so I'm also a bit nervous about that one too. However, looking at it makes me at least feel enthusiastic about wearing it.
I was getting a bit annoyed with playing the same games over and over (as I do), so I started up Cyberpunk 2077, which I bought when it was on sale but hadn't played at all. So far, at least, it seems very detailed and well-made (despite all the problems when it first came out). My biggest complaint is that it isn't detecting that I use a left-handed mouse (although I actually have two mice, so that I can have a scroll wheel, since my trackball doesn't have one) and the controls are awkward for using a mouse with the left hand. That's fine, though. I'm playing it on the easy mode, as I totally don't care about the fighting.
Anyway, now it is very late, so time for bed.
