Day Fourty Three.

    I am finished my skirt, well the sewing part anyway. Swoosh. Although I'm really pretty sure I won't be winning "Project Runway" anytime soon I am pretty proud that I will actually be able to wear something I made:) I got up early today, well early for me it was about 10am, and carefully pinned the waistband so I could get right to it when I got done work. It was very helpful when I went to sew it tonight, I mean it certainly isn't perfect by any means but it's not terrible. I tried the skirt on with the top I bought and it wasn't half bad, but there are some pretty important details left. I will add that I did not get my belt in the mail today! When I got out of work tonight I decided to take a shower because I have to run to the pet store tomorrow morning and try to find a shirt to match the skirt I quickly threw together for my dog today. This way the shower is out of the way and I won't feel that rushed in the morning. The other reason I really felt I had to shower tonight was that where I was working I had to use a phone I don't usually use and I am sure it hasn't been wiped down in about 10 years. It was one of those situations where I couldn't not use the phone so I had to suck it up and deal, but I certainly wasn't putting my dirty phone ear on my clean pillow!
    Tonight at work was surprisingly slow for it being Halloween, but I am not complaining. It was actually a really good pace and I learned a lot tonight which always makes me happy. I really do enjoy the fact that my job requires constant learning and it's really impossible to get stale. This morning I finished the cookies I started last night and I was really happy with how they turned out, unfortunately I put parchment paper between the layers and the icing stuck to the cookies:( Only the top layer ended up being okay, it looked like people were still eating them but they probably weren't half as good without the caramel icing. I ended up not eating that many snacks at work tonight but I did come home and eat cheesy bagel pizza. I kind of regret the decision to eat that though. The problem is that I have been having problems with my microwave so I didn't want to use it and thought using the stove instead would be a better idea. I didn't have mozzarella cheese so I ended up using a taco cheese which, when put on top of a bagel covered in marinara and cooked in the oven for 5 minutes, doesn't taste anything like my boyfriends cheesy bagel pizzas:( Then I had four pieces of candy after I finished the skirt!
    As I was saying before I got up early today and couldn't believe how much I got done before work! It was amazing, I folded laundry, made cookies, prepared my skirt for sewing, and still had time to relax a little bit. It helped because I went to bed at a decent time last night, but now it's really late already and it's going to be hard to get up that early tomorrow. I have been trying hard this week to remember to put hand cream on and I think it's helped some. I still think one of the biggest problems is that the soap at work is so harsh because the weeks when I work everyday they tend to be worse. I often wonder what would happen if I switched to all bar soap in my bathroom. It just seems like it would be a pain, but I notice when I go on vacations and strictly use bar soap my hands always look better. Actually I'm not sure how much of that is the bar soap or the fact I'm just not washing my hands that much because I'm not in my house constantly cleaning! Stuff to think about, well that's it for now!
