Heartburn sucks! It started early this time, a little over a month ago. Ouch! I'm sure having a grilled cheese and jalapeño sandwich (2, actually) for dinner didn't help. But damn, it's the only thing in the world that sounded good. Lots and lots of jalapeños.
I've been experimenting with solid dyeing in my washer. Not normally a big deal, but I have a front loader. That means I can only soak items for a maximum of 35 minutes, I can't open the door during the cycle and if I pause the washer then all the water (and dye) drains out. (One of the few times I wish I had a top loader.) Adding the dye and soda ash is tricky so I don't get freckling or spotting, and forgetting to add the salt results in some really crappy colors. I've had to experiment with the dye chemistry but I'm finally getting some results I like. It uses more supplies but it's nice to not be stuck sitting at the laundry sink stirring for over an hour.
Of course, this experimentation has been going on for three days now and we're starting to run out of clothes and diapers so I think I need to do some regular laundry. After one more batch.
