INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Think of a few activities that you find interesting and enjoyable. Keep a mental list of things to do when you start to obsess. If you have a list of go-to activities in mind, you can quickly redirect yourself when necessary. Examples might include gardening, reading a good novel, listening to music (that doesn’t remind you of the person), playing a video game, playing an instrument, drawing, painting, or exercising. Think of a project you’ve put on the back burner recently. While it doesn’t need to be related to the person, it might be something you’ve put off because of obsessive thoughts or actions. Finish that project, and think about how it represents your ability to move past your obsession.  For example, perhaps you haven’t been practicing the piano or cleaning your room. Maybe you've been falling behind on projects at work or school. Accomplishing a task, especially one you’ve been putting off, is a great way to cultivate a positive, self-empowering state of mind. or try relaxation techniques. Wear loose clothing, play soothing music, and sit in a comfortable position. Inhale deeply as you count to 4, hold your breath for a 4 count, then exhale slowly as you count to 8. As you control your breathing, visualize calming scenery, such as a safe place from your childhood or a favorite vacation spot. You could also look for guided meditation videos on your preferred streaming service. Try meditating or doing breathing exercises when you feel your thoughts racing, dwell on the person you’re obsessed with, or get the urge to call or text them.

SUMMARY: Distract yourself by doing an enjoyable activity. Do something that gives you a feeling of accomplishment. Meditate

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The design variations, also called “views,” also appear on the back of the envelope. These line drawings include more design details, such as darts, seam lines, and potential lengths. Each view is identified by a symbol, typically a letter. The symbol is used in charts and the pattern to identify information about that specific view. The back of the pattern envelope contains a list of fabrics suitable for this garment. Read through the list carefully. Select a fabric that is appropriate for the garment and that you are comfortable working with. In addition to fabric, your pattern may require notions and trims. The “Notions” section will list all of the additional pieces you will need to complete the garment. These may include items such as zippers, hook and eye closures, and elastic. Pattern sizing rarely aligns with ready to wear sizes. When cutting the pattern, you will follow lines for a specific size. Therefore, it is essential to accurately determine your size instead of assuming that you are a certain size. Use a measuring tape to measure various points on your body listed on the pattern envelope, such as your chest or bust, waist, and hips. Match your measurements to the measurements provided on the chart to determine your pattern size. The fabric requirements are listed directly below the body measurement and size charts. Locate the row containing the design variation you intend to create. Follow the row over until you reach the column containing your pattern size. The number in this cell is the amount of yardage you will need to complete the garment in your pattern size. Most patterns will list alternative lengths for different widths of fabrics (45 inches wide v. 60 inches wide). The last box in the chart contains information on the finished garment measurements. The finished garment will be slightly larger than your body measurements to allow for ease, or the fabric added to a garment so you may wear it comfortably. This information is often printed onto the pattern as well.

SUMMARY: View the design drawings. Read the fabric suggestions. Read the notion and trim requirements. Study the body measurement and size chart. Asses the fabric requirements. Note the finished garment measurements.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Put the window well in the hole you dug and push it firmly against the walls of your foundation. Make sure that the edges of the sides of the well are about 3 inches (7.6 cm) from either side of the window, and check that the top of the well extends 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) above the dirt. Set a level on top of the well to see if it's straight, and pack dirt underneath the lower side if you need to.  Ask someone to help you lift and set the well in place if it's too heavy to safely lift on your own. If the window well is closer than 6 inches (15 cm) to your siding, dig your hole deeper until you have a 6 in (15 cm) buffer. Hold the window well tightly against your home and use a marker to put dots on your foundation in the center of each hole. Check that the window well doesn't shift around while you're making your marks or else the holes won't line up when you try to attach the well later on. After you draw all of the marks, take the window well out of the hole. If your window well doesn't already have holes drilled in the sides, then you may need to make your own holes. Use a 3⁄8 in (0.95 cm) drill bit meant for metal or plastic depending on what your well is made from, and space your holes about 5 inches (13 cm) apart down each side. 2 in (5.1 cm) pilot holes in the foundation with a masonry bit. Use a 3⁄8 in (0.95 cm) masonry bit in a hammer drill to cut through your foundation. Hold the drill bit straight against one of your marks on the foundation and turn it on to cut through the concrete. Make the holes about 2 inches (5.1 cm) deep so the anchors can easily fit inside. Continue drilling holes at each of your marks along the foundation wall.  Put on a pair of safety glasses so you don't get hurt while drilling the holes. You can use a regular rotary drill, but it will take longer and may damage the machine. Check your local hardware store to see if they rent hammer drills so you don't need to buy one. Use masonry anchors that are 3⁄8 in (0.95 cm) in diameter and 1 7⁄8 in (4.8 cm) long. Unscrew the nuts from the anchor sleeves and slide the sleeves into the holes you drilled. Position the window well in front of the sleeves and screw the nuts back into the sleeves. Tighten the nuts with a socket wrench so the window well stays firmly in place. You can buy masonry anchors from your local hardware store. Caulking around the sides can help seal the window well from water to prevent more leaks. Load the caulk into a dispenser and squeeze the trigger to apply it. Work around the sides of the window well with a thin line of caulk to seal it. You don't need to caulk around the sides of the window well if you don't want to.

SUMMARY:
Set the window well against your foundation so it's level. Mark the location of the predrilled holes on your foundation with a marker. Drill Screw the window well into place using masonry anchors. Apply a line of caulk around the well if you want additional protection.
