Only 7+ months to go!

auntiemeeshI've decided that now is the perfect time to start working on this year's Dragon Con costume(s). I'm doing a fem 5th Doctor, which means altering the outfit a little bit. Although it isn't exactly the right style (or even close, really) I might get something like this sweater, add the color stripe around the neck and then wear it over a short-sleeve fitted white button down. If I can find a short, pleated skirt (and lose weight again so I can wear a short pleated skirt) it will be ridiculously schoolgirl, but I think that might work for Five. I suspect I'll probably end up making my own jacket, though, since I have an idea how I want it, but I'm not sure I'll be able to find what I want on a rack anywhere. The hat and shoes are still TBD.
This is the first year that I pre-registered for the next year before leaving D*C, so now I get to stress out about making sure I actually get the time off work. The days around Labor Day weekend are always black out days. It's super early but I already talked to one of our subs (well, our only sub, truthfully) to see if she thought she'd still be subbing/actually available that week. She'll let me know tomorrow, but that would be so helpful because then I could go to my boss and say 'look, I have coverage, see?'
And yes, stressing out about an event that isn't for another eight or nine months is totally a way of avoiding stressing out about all the things that I'm tired of thinking about/stressing about right now. I know that, but I'm running with it in the hopes that it will keep me sane.
