Trudging onward...

I seem to be making progress! Last night I got all the buttonholes and buttons on to my underthings (drawers, chemise, combinations, and undersleeves), cut out the blue dress train lining, and made and attached the dust-ruffle for the blue SASS dress. All I have left to do on the underskirt is to hand sew the hem facing down, attach it to waistband, and drape the lace overlay. Which is an easy bit of work and will hopefully get done tonight.

If I can just keep head down and keep plowing through stuff, I'll be fine. It's when I look around myself at the massive heap of things to do that I kind of flip out. I must focus on what has been done, not what remained to be done, and all will be well.

As if the pile of things to do wasn't big enough as it is, I found out yesterday that my newest housemate is going to be moving out at the end of December. This is highly annoying, especially since I passed up a different applicant for this guy who would probably not have 1 - becomes a recluse, and 2 - decided to move out in 2 months. But oh well. I was planning on moving at the end of January or so anyway, this just kind of steps up the whole thing for me. I'm now aiming to go in mid-January. I can swing extra rent for a couple of weeks if I need to and getting out and moved sooner rather than latter is always a good thing. I just don't relish the idea of apartment hunting right now.

It's a big stinky pain in the ass, is all.

Stupid link for today:

The Wu-Tang name generator

I'm either "Embryonic Crusadah" or "Flailing Fanatical Killer." Huh.

I freely admit this is an old site, but it's still amusing.
