Okay; shirt button sewed on, paint and brushes acquired, chess set painted, exercises done, dishes done. Feels like a pretty good day. :)

Only, I don't know if this magnetic chess set is really going to work at all, and I'm a little bummed about that. When the pieces get too close too each other (which I'm nearly certain they would be on the board, it's so small) they suck each other up with the magnetism! I thought the way those boards were supposed to work was that the board was magnetized, not the pieces.

My stomach is singing to me like a whale. Do you suppose it's the zucchini and egg soup I had for lunch? Perhaps if I put a chunk of granola down there it'll shut up. Or, tea! Tea is good for everything, right? :)

Tea is definitely good for everything, as long as it's filled with so much milk and sugar that it almost isn't tea anymore, lol. (I put so much milk and sugar in mine that it's quite possible I don't actually like tea...)

Or that you just like milk and sugar, but there's nothing wrong with that! :)

I decided to have some rooibos (because I haven't had any caffein since the surgery and I'm seeing how long I can hold out) with just honey, and my tummy has calmed down a LOT, it's great. My theory is that really what my body likes is hot water - the honey and tea and milk and anything else I put in is just to get the hot water down. Supposedly warm water is absorbed by the tissues more easily.

with the old magnetic chess set i had, the magnets that were on the pieces were oriented in a +/- way that they wouldn't stick together, so it could be a polarity issue.

It looks to me as though the whole piece IS all the same magnet, very strong magnets, too. If they were plastic pieces with a little magnet on them it might work a lot better.

Wow, you're making a chess set? *totally sucks at crafts and therefore is in awe* Good luck, I hope you get the magnetic thing workin'!

No, not making, I'm not that clever! :) They're tiny magnets which are painted with symbols to represent the various chess pieces, but for some reason they made both sides black. So I've been painting over one side's little symbols with red. I don't know as I can change their extremely stong magnetism, though. They may end up as refriderator ornaments, after all.
