hitting the wall

The dress is as done as the dress is going to get.

I am hemming the bottom on the train. And the girl I am sharing a room with can safety pin me into the bloody thing. Everything else is finished though, and other than two bits of gathering that are awful and that I will rip out and fix prior to the next event, with the scarf tied tightly around it, it looks quite well. That said, I fear the only reason I shall be swooning in anyone's arms tomorrow is because I stayed up all night working on this goddamn dress and the Sauteuse makes me dizzy.

Yay.

Alarm is set for 7, when I must wash and curl my hair and pack. Leave the house at 8, with stops at the bank and to buy safetypins and snacks for the day.

Yay.

A lot of very wise words in who_is_she's journal today.

Most people I now already knew this one or have learned it the hard way by now, but I found itillumination anyway in a "truth of the past" sort of way.
