things are settling in
J is doing steadily better, see paramour's report.
my nervous energy is dissipating. i'll probably lie on the couch for a week to recover, *snicker*. but hey, having a clean house is nice. except my room isn't clean yet -- even the most energetic mood can get overpowered by large amounts of stuff.
i finished my wire jig -- 181 holes on a small grid, all drilled to the same depth. i'm using finishing nails as pegs, and it's working quite well. i'll need to cut up some dowels for pegs with larger diameters. here's an image with the first test piece. the jig measures only 5x5 cm; i think i'd like to make a larger one.
also, since firecat asked -- i've not finished the cabochon completely; there's a hairline crack running through the black, and i want to fill that with epoxy before giving the cab its final polish, but i need to order the right epoxy. it does look pretty good as is, however, so i took a picture of it on top of part of the original material:

Re: cabochons
the dream was interesting, *snicker*. i was visiting you and your (fictitious) female partner, and you tried to help me with my intimacy problems (i wasn't doing so well with that in the dream). you also made an excellent waffle breakfast. your partner showed me how to properly eat it (there was a special way to pour the syrup on, *heh*).
