So I took the plastic off of my 20 yards of lovely white linen this evening, in anticipation of cramming as much of it as possible into the washing machine.

It's torn. There's a 12" tear about 18" in, and a second, shorter one about a yard in (whatever the implement was went through two layers of the bolt).
( view the carnage )
I'm about to send an e-mail (with the pictures) to fabrics-store and let them know what happened - I presume that the damage happened in shipping; the plastic was torn as well. I hope they're willing/able to do something about it. Their customer service has been good in the past, so I'm hopeful.

I'm feeling listy...

• I forgot to take clean underwear to the gym with me this morning. Not a big deal since I was coming home afterwards (I just shower & dress much more efficiently at the gym than I do at home).
  
• My arthritic shoulder is flaring up again. :^( I added my PT exercises to my regular gym routine and I must make myself stop sleeping on my right side.
  
• Mom is coming to visit this weekend.
  
• Classes start on Tuesday. I've got day 1 ready to go, day 2 mostly ready, and have done squat for anything past that.
  
• On a related note, I can't log in to Blackboard, which is kind of a problem, since I need to upload the readings for my class.
  
• No fight practice this week or next. But on the 25th there's a tourney at practice. Whee! Motivation to finally finish my new armor (all I have to do is make a point with which to tie my second ho' to my braiesgirdle).
  
• I have a couple of posts percolating in my little brain... one about the rather amusing politics going on in Amherst, NY, and the other about Aethelmearc 12th Night. Will try to do those later today as a break from class prep. And I had been meaning to write up my impressions of Sweeney Todd but I think too much time has passed for me to write anything coherent anymore. *sigh*
  
• I think I'm using about half of my tags for this post.
