So L&O only needed me for a few hours, which was actually awesome. Very easy.

I'm getting nervous about the dresses for the Assembly. They have to be done soon. I figure tomorrow evening I can cut the bodice (the biggest issue) for Kali's and begin construction of it and have enough of it done to turn over to her by the weekend. If I can have my own cut, and enough of it constructure to start carrying with me to work on on the subway by the end of the weekend, all should be well. I think I can figure out what's going on, and am only really worried at all about joining the bodice to the rest of the dress because there's this drawstring thing I don't understand in the directions. As long as I start working on these and just work on them nightly all should be well. Also if I take out my sewing machine as opposed to doing it by hand that will speed many things. I mean, I did this on a tighter timeline, which a much more irritable fabric last year. It _will_ be okay, and I worry only because I have another person relying on me and we're both so into our dorky color scheme thing. Serenity now, serenity now. I have a hair over three weeks, last year I did mine in two and the reality is that with a machine, it's a one day project if you define one day as 12 - 14 hours. And fuck French seams.

I also got my period, _thank god_, which is a wonderful aid in helping me understand _why_ I feel insane, and more importantly, encouraging me to ignore that fact.

And I freaked out at work on monday.
I'm also trying to figure out how to smooth things at work with my difficult boss who just returned the same day from maternity leave to watch me get into this dissagreement with another coworker. I wish I knew how to improve things at work as I only have another month with them before my workplace changes. I am afraid of losing my job, and that fear might even be irrational, but since she's back, I can't seem to stop myself from feeling it and it's hurting things.

I am glad L&O came out well. I have heard good things from a friend who was on the set.

I think it's neat that you are making such an involved dress. I would love to see the result.

On a completely unrelated note, the BBC was doing a program tonight on the fact that Australia is busy trying to get people to relocate there; they've opened their doors in London and are trying to match many well-trained folks in Britain with jobs and lives in the UK.

I wondered if they were doing the same here and we hadn't heard about it?

drawstring...

I know a modest bit about sewing, and I'm sure others that read your journal do, too. If you get stuck on the drawstring, post it and maybe we can help clear it up.
