Positives to start this week
Oct. 5th, 2014 22:23Positives to start this first full week of October.
1. Katie and I started actual work on her Halloween costume, Princess Leia, Endor. Under my guidance, she took apart the toy gun and started priming and painting the pieces. It looks pretty impressive so far. I've seen plenty of photographs of the costume, and we watched SW:ROTJ today, and I think I've finally figured out the shape of the poncho and how it's worn. I found a batting helmet for $2 that can be dressed up. Little foam, little spray paint, badda-bing badda-boom. It was fun working with her.
2. I still don't quite feel like myself, but I feel better than I have in days. I haven't been sick enough to put me down, but enough to make me miserable off and on all week.
3. The kitchen is (more or less) clean going into tomorrow. I know it sounds silly, but I like coming out in the morning to a clean kitchen, but it's always so late when things get to the point where I can do something about the day's mess, and usually all I can think about is getting to bed. Got it done, tonight, though. There's plenty of containers left in the sink there wasn't room for in the dishwasher, but the counter is cleared, my gallon of tea for the office is made and chilling.
Bonus: I'm coming out of the weekend having done what needed doing: a skirt and a dress for Irish dance, both ready to fit.
