auntiemeesh: (to do)

It's 9:30pm and I'm just now getting around to remembering that I should eat something. It's been a busy day.

*Got my hair colored and trimmed. That should hold me for another four months or so.

*Went to the grocery store. Got all the way to the head of the checkout line before I remembered that my debit card wasn't in my wallet. D'oh! I had enough cash for the essentials, but I'll have to go back tomorrow if I want to have enough food to eat this week. This, btw, was the first warning sign that Stupid Meeshie Brain (SMB), which I've been suffering from all week, was still in full effect. Thank goodness I made sure to have cash for my hair, otherwise it could have been very awkward/bad/awful.

*I put together the lining for my bustier and got the whole thing put together. Got the zipper in and tried it on - it fits perfectly around the waist but was a little big around at the top. I put in a dart on either side and that seems to have mostly fixed the problem. The other problem with it is that I have love handles at the waist. Specifically, the one on the right side is a little bigger than the one on the left, so it pushes the bustier up on one side, making the top look lopsided. Other than very targeted fat-shaving, I'm not entirely sure what to do about that problem . But, it's mostly done. I need to do a bit of slip-stitching still this evening, but it's a functional garment at this point and I'm thrilled with it.

*Washed a ton of laundry. Five loads! Unfortunately, the last two of those loads were blankets. Cat hair laden blankets. All that cat hair clogged up the drain-sink's drain, leading to another adventure with a mop as I endeavored to clean up all the standing water (another attack of SMB led to me not ever even thinking to check the drains). But the last blanket is in the drier and everything else is folded and put away.

*Stripped the bed, washed the blankets and stuff, and vacuumed the mattress. There have been no more bug bites since the initial ones Wednesday night/Thursday morning but I'm taking no chances. If any more bites occur after this, I'll by a handheld steam cleaner and use that on the mattress. Of course, after the disaster with the blankets, I haven't tried to wash the pillows. But, SMB again, I did five loads of laundry and failed to wash any of my dishcloths so I will be doing more laundry tomorrow. I may sleep without the pillows tonight and throw them into the evil machine in the morning.

*And now I'm eating some Chunky Chili soup, which tastes even more abysmal than usual. I have a feeling Mal is going to get more than his fair share of this dreck. Time to put on some mindless tv and get to slip-stitching.

My brain does that too. I lost my keys not too long ago and they were IN MY PURSE! They had slipped into a small pocket in the inside of the purse and I had no idea there was even such a pocket in the purse so, it took me several searches to find them.

Lol, glad to know it's not just me. :)

Do you have one of those shaper things you could wear under the bustier? It might smooth out the love handles? Anyway I'm looking for the same kind of damage control for the waist of my outfit too.

I do, but it might not fit at the moment. Last summer I had to lose ten pounds before it would fit, and I've gained all that back.

You're getting a lot accomplished, even with SMB.

*hugs you*

Maybe regular refueling would quell the SMBs?

Congratulations on all your accomplishments!
=D

Well, I ate breakfast and lunch in a timely fashion yesterday, it was just supper that I forgot about but yeah, eating more regularly would probably help.

Congrats on finishing (or nearly finishing) the costume and on getting all that laundry done! I hope you found something good to watch on TV to make up for the underwhelming dinner (and that you were able to get groceries and have more satisfying meals today!)
