Day Thirty Nine.

    I am exhausted right now which is weird because work was actually a lot better tonight than it was yesterday. It went by pretty fast and there wasn't twenty things going wrong like what happened yesterday. Some people ordered out and I was so tempted to order as well but I resisted the urge and just had a "Lean Cuisine" for dinner.
    This morning I got up a little bit later than I wanted to because ideally I wanted to have a load of laundry in and be showered before my Father arrived. Unfortunately I didn't have time to shower so I at least put the laundry in the washer to get that started. My Dad ended up arriving a little after 11:30am and I made him a cup of coffee then we chanted until he left around 12:15pm. It was nice seeing my Dad and catching up a little bit but it was a really short visit. After he left I hopped in the shower and when that was done I put the clothes in the dryer. I was really stressing because I wanted to get the laundry folded before I went to work because I knew I wanted to work on my Halloween costume a little more tonight. I ended up getting my laundry folded but didn't do that much else. I even forgot to unload the dishwasher so I will be doing that tomorrow morning.
    I couldn't wait to get home tonight to see my dog and I was even more excited when I got to my house and found that besides my dog, my sister had left me a portable sewing machine. It was a really sweet and unnecessary surprise, but very much appreciated. I immediately started working on my costume and found the sewing machine really easy to use! Unfortunately making the costume was not that easy. I had cut the pattern for the skirt out last night and I didn't realize how difficult the sewing part of the project actually would be. I wasn't really following the directions because they don't make sense to me so I was just doing the best I could based on the YouTube videos I had been watching. Once I got it to the point where I could try it on I hated the way it looked on me. I hope it's just because I haven't gotten the waistband done, which is causing me the most problems but I don't know if I'm ever going to love it.  I am trying to tell myself that this is a one time wear skirt and I don't need to be so obsessive over it. I really don't know why I didn't just buy the costume online. Also I have so many of the ancillary items to buy that the whole thing is just stressing me out! With that being said I'm going to finish this up because I have to get to bed!
