Halfway finished with the 100 days! I'm still very happy with my dress; last night, I put it into a delicate wash mesh bag and ran it through a load in the machine, on the Delicate cycle. Hung it overnight, steamed it this morning. Brilliant!

Janice

Yesterday - off to the doctor for a shot in my arthritis foot. NOT MY BAD KNEE... sigh...

Today, laundry and working on The Vivienne Files - those posts in the pre-dawn darkness every Monday morning require a bit of planning ahead!

Monday was a quiet day at home, working; yesterday I ran all over the city shopping, getting a hair cut, and getting a mammogram!
