How big is the bleach spot?

Alas, it's an irregular oblong an inch and a half long and a quarter of an inch wide, right in the front close to the middle.

I don't know how many dragonflies you have on it, but you could put a dragonfly/flower applique there. Maybe some more in other places just to make it look planned.

I'm heading away for the weekend in a few minutes, probably won't be back online until Monday.

What *is* your drip dry test? What do you consider failure? I just finished hanging up my own wet laundry, including a flannel sheet. Sensible people do not consider that drip-dry, because it's so unwieldy. And it does take a long time to dry, but think it comes out acceptably and I'd rather wait for it than pay $4.50 to machine dry it. Will you be staying in a different place every night, or traveling in little bursts and staying in places for 2 or 3 days at a time ( ... )

The drip dry test was: if I wash it and wring it out this afternoon, and then hang it on a hanger in the house, will it be dry enough to wear tomorrow morning? I didn't use line drying because that's not the conditions I'll be doing it in.

Nobody wears the size I do except for some people who are three thousand miles away. I hear you about microfiber: I think it's a miracle, a polyester I can wear without excruciating pain -- but I really can't spend any more money. I wish I'd been thinking about microfiber the last time I was buying clothes. Oh well.

All of my drugs are critical. I can skip the cholesterol drugs for a day or two but I can't go longer than that. I utterly fold when I don't take these things: I swell up, I become stupid and slow, I can't stop eating and I can't sleep, though I fall into a lower level of consciousness every time I sit down, and I just sort of ache all over.

I'll get a letter from my doctor too, I think.

We should probably get a letter for my prescriptions. Especially the painkiller, but the muscle relaxant, too. And I suppose we should be getting it from the neurosurgeon, and isn't that weird? I have a neurosurgeon!

Yes, we're going to get the letter from Dr. Harper. You have a neurosurgeon, yes. Last year you saw your primary: an orthopedist: a back specialist: a chronic pain specialist: the neurosurgeon: and a series of physical therapists. You're a precious object, kiddo.

I'm still vacillating on whether there's any alternative for me to carrying nine medicine bottles everywhere I go.
