rosebeeOf the good - I slept decently last night, and didn't wake up a whole lot.
Of the bad - I had bad dreams (almost qualifying for nightmares) about my previous place of employment. I was back to working in a place that was all wrong for me, doing stuff that I struggled at... ::shudders some more::
It did though make me very grateful that the place I get to go to today to work for 8 hours is NOT any of those things that were in my dream. I can stop and start projects as my little ADHD brain desires (I just have to get them all done by certain times), I have a private office where I can shut the door if folks in neighboring offices are getting too noisy/distracting. It's a good place for me, and that awful dream last night makes me appreciate it all the more!!
I'm starting the week in a good mood, mostly because I actually managed to complete yesterday the two things I really wanted to get done. I got my skirt totally done & lined & everything, PLUS I got my nice white pants from Talbot's (that I bought 2 or 3 weeks ago), hemmed up. Doing a blind hem is still tricky for me and the them isn't nearly as 'blind' as I'd like. A few stitches are perfect, some didn't catch the pant fabric at all, and some caught the fabric enough that a full 1/8" of thread is visible on the right side! There's a VERY fine line when doing the blind hem between missing the fabric, catching just the right amount of fabric and catching too much fabric. I don't have a lot of practice at it, so I'm not really good at it yet. But at least I didn't have to find & wait for someone else to hem up the pants for me! :) I bought petite pants of course, and Talbot's thinks this means they should have a 29.5" inseam - whereas even with heels I need a 28" or 28.25" inseam. Thusly the hemming.
Boy, I'm talkative this morning. I was going to go to the store yesterday to get a pair of opaque tights/nylons to wear with my skirt today, but I forgot. So I get to wear regular pantyhose (which I'm not super fond of), or I can wear one of the tights I do have (dark brown, gray, gray/black heather), or I can go bare-legged. I think I might just go bare-legged. :) Then I can wear my nice white birkenstock sandals. :D
