joel helped me sew! i'm so proud. i discovered that it takes me half an hour tops to make a choli. but i just made the mockup, and i don't have the right color thread to make the real one. but i have all the pieces cut out, and i have the skirt pieces cut out as well, and that's all straight lines and easy stuff. i need to sew those tomorrow (and call annejke) and put another layer in the underarm of my old fencing shirt. and that's it for my sewing - i've been told that the cartridge pleating takes *way* longer than the time i have, so i guess that goes in the bin of "projects i'll finish at some point, i swear". crap, forgot to call the doctor. i can call the optometrist tomorrow, though, apparently they have weekend hours.

finishing comics and cleaning up, then it's to bed with me!

some lady at work today was wearing her husband's trident academy shirt. i had a brief discussion about it, rather secondhandedly (she talked about her husband, i talked about andy).
mom made an icelandic style breakfast - cheese and smoked fish and crackers and cucumbers and tomato - which was good but i was angry at having to wake up at 9. went back to sleep for a while, then got most of the skirt sewn and called the optometrist and annejke. amazing! i did most of the stuff i was planning to do!

however, given that i ate at 9 instead of noon, i've spent the last two hours feeling sick from hunger. :P i hate that. but now i'm eating and everything is better, and i've only got 3 more hours once i get back to work.
tonight i'm finishing the choli and underskirt, and maybe hemming some fabric for a sarong. need to buy thread at work.
