I was supposed to spend the better part of today, cleaning, doing laundry, making brownies, etc because tomorrow at 11am, I am picking up my daddy and uncle from the airport. I am so excited and I had such high hopes for this afternoon... I woke up at 7 this morning and started disinfecting the bathroom, freshening up the couches and washing linens... I was on a roll. Then Kim went to bed for the day... she works the night shift, which means, no vacuuming. grrrr. Vacuuming us a huge part cleaning a house with 4 dogs and a cat. Everything needs to be vacuumed. And now everything had to be put on hold until she woke up for work. at 9 :/ Now what?
I had stopped my mad sewing project for a few days because the thought of all that measuring and cutting gave me stomach ulcers. Especially when my first 2 attempts led me to believe I would have to make a million prototypes before I could make anything good. But today... well it still made me woozy to think about but I told myself that if I took it slow enough and really thought it through, then I could make a real one. Plus, I was out of scrap fabric :/ So all day, I sewed and cut and measured and sewed. I even forgot to eat. And by the time Kim got up for work, I was so engrossed with my project that I couldn't break away. I mean, I wanted to, but... I just wanted this damned thing to be finished!! I was so close!! I think I was at it from 2 until 11... blech. But I finished. And I think it's wearable, even.
Hallelujah! All those nights I lost sleep over this stupid thing were worth it! I mean, there are still a lot of bad stitches and uneven hems, but I feel pretty good about it :)
Now that I've finished obsessing over that tool belt, it's time to face reality and realize that my dad is STILL coming to visit tomorrow and I have accomplished very little in regards to his arrival. Not to mention, it is now 12:30am and I have to be up at 7 and have to spend a whole day in Seattle, then attend a Mariners game at 8pm... I am going to be so tired. And I still have to make brownies.
