Houston, we have a problem

[clevermanka]

It's called Procrastination. I don't procrastinate on anything except for costuming. Argh. It's a lesson I fear I will never learn.

Last night one of the newer (non-sewing) dancers came over so I could help her on her harem pants. It took rather longer than the usual hour and a half I estimate for a harem-pants lesson. As we approached our third hour, I made the Executive Decision that I would just wear an old costume this weekend, damn it, because I was simply running out of time and energy. So. We wrapped up her stuff around ten p.m. I returned home to fiddle with possible costume combinations for this weekend, only to discover I have no costume bras that even come close to fitting. No vests, either. If we were doing the choli/bra combo I'd be all set, but for some reason Jo doesn't like that look anymore (boo hiss since I love it and it's soooo much more comfortable than the bra/vest IMO). Yeah. So. I do have to finish this costume after all. By Saturday morning. Wish me luck, folks. I'm gonna need it. I might also need another day off. We'll see. Ugh! I hate using my vacation days to do stuff that I should have done months ago. Stupid stupid girl.

Feeling a wee bit tired since I didn't get to bed until midnight and then was up thirty minutes early just so I could wash my dishes. They were getting scary. But at least they're done now, and done before they started to smell, thank you very much.

I'm chipper today, in spite of exhaustion and costuming panic, thanks to pretty nose sparkly that I remembered to put in last night, and a haircut. Same style, just went in for a mega-trim yesterday afternoon. It's a good thing I don't wear the Yak for nearly two weeks because I don't think I'd have enough hair to pin it to right now.

Is it an official Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen yak?

One of the great things about living alone is the bachelor attitude towards dishes. I encourage mine to walk away on their own.

Dishes only smell for a little while, then everything dries. Sorry you aren't happy on this lovely fall day. I don't care how pressed for time you are. You need to take a walk in the breeze and remove your brains from the situation for even half an hour--which won't make that much of a difference anyway in the long run. I think you'll be surprised at the recuperative power of just a simple recess.

Oh, I'm planning just that, actually. I didn't even bring anything with me to work on over lunch like I usually do.

I'm even considering maybe (*gasp*) leaving campus for lunch!

If you move quickly and cleanly, the men in the guard towers will not notice you.

Here's to some fresh air (and a fresh set of stimuli in the visual field) for you.

I'd love to have a harem-pants sewing lesson sometime (and I promise not to take 3 hours.) Trade you something for the time when you can cram it into the schedule?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'll get back with you on that after faire is over.

Clothes that are all too big is still a great problem to have.

Blessings, dear, and blessings to whoever included me in your circle Saturday. Or was it Sunday?
