Summer crafting plans for the heat wave

With a massive heat wave coming next week, trying to decide if:

1) should I warp my loom and get some weaving practice in with cotton yarn?
2) should I get out the cross stitch projects and work on those?
3) should I go find my summer sweater knitting project on the needles?
4) should I start some new projects (cotton knitting, embroidery)?

To be started: 
various projects from https://cozybluehandmade.com/ 

or https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/boardwalk-mosaic-shawl 

oodles of patterns in my Ravelry queue 

in progress:

PSA: US REAL ID

If you have a passport in your married name, apparently you don’t need a certified copy of your marriage certificate (at least this is what the Virginia DMV rep told me on the phone). I will try to get my REAL ID with passport and other documents and see if it works.

Themed playlists

Saving this one, and then I need to go pull some of my themed ones from law school and also my Apocalypse/WW3 playlist. War and Death were easy to find music for, but Famine and Pestilence were much harder (Fields of Athenry for the Famine, I should probably buy a recording of Skibbereen and add that as well)

Biking to run errands

Picked up a new shower head with hose at Ace Hardware, Barnes and Noble (renewing membership, buying The Knitter and Piecework magazines plus two other magazine-sized items) then to Trader Joe’s to get frozen food for lunch because I have to work onsite now and Trader Joe’s is cheaper than the onsite cafeteria/food court/convenience store/etc. 

Tout le monde also being out today and at Trader Joe’s too. 

 I’m currently drinking my second mug of tea after getting home and I’m beginning to warm up now.

Another good letter to Congress from a Balloon-Juice commenter

Saving this so I can edit it and send it to my Senators and Congressman
