I'm the patching type.

I also repair clothes that we wear outside, if it's an small issue you usually can sew it without being noticeable.
My son is so used to it that as soon as he makes holes in something, he automatically asks for repair.

For home clothes I don't care if they are noticeable, so I may have large patches.
Imho that extends the lifespan of the clothing.




I'm also doubting there'll be a calendar event.
It's day 4, I assume they would have said something by now? Even to annouce it's been delayed?
Maybe we have a shorter winter event this year.

I did not learn anything until very recently, when I was younger my mom did all the mending and she did not teach me anything.
"Oh, I'll do it faster myself" she would say.

So I learned most of it with youtube videos, and had more than one silly moment trying to buy stuff - and asking the most basic questions.
But, hey, at least now I'm able to do some mending.

That's it though, I can't make create something new, not even from patches.



Yes, of course, it's possible they are late.
And I don't want to ask them either. Because if that's the case they are probably busy enough.
But I prefer thinking we won't have it and later realize I was wrong, than keep thinking we will and be disappointed.

Exactly my mind.
I do it with everything.

Some people say "oh, you are a pessimistic".
No, I'm not.
I just prefer being surprised for better than being surprised for worse.

My grandma often says: "expect the best, get ready for the worst".

Deep in my heart I always keep the hopes, but I'm mentally getting ready for the worst.

Yup.
I tend to daydream a lot anyway.
I imagine how things are gonna turn out, how a conversation is going to go, etc.

If I also added an too-optimistc trait to that, I would be just too silly for my own good.
