Monday All that worry, for naught

 

Well Hubs relatives cancelled and all that worry was for naught.  They had a really lame excuse and hubs was quite up set.  Me not so much.  Not that I would not have enjoyed them, but the timing was just bad for me.  I did feel bad for hubs.  He always feels kind of left out by his family.  But the sister that was coming is a diagnosed schizophrenic, who has been heavily medicated since her early 20's.  She is very talented musically and as sweet as can be.   She just lives with very severe illness which is stressful to be around.  But then I am stressful to be around with all my ADHD qualities.

So to catch you up, I did very little cleaning and took a nap yesterday afternoon and it was lovely. Saturday was a day in Spokane shopping.  We found many nice dresses for very good prices and good walking shoes on very good sales.  Still had problems with skirts as we only found two. Anyway we came home with many nice outfits and I am satisfied that she will have good, pretty, durable things for the next 18 months.

By the way the accountant just called and we do not owe taxes and I am so relieved. We get $40.00 back from the feds, $210.00  back from State and we owe accountant $325.00.  I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am.  If things with our covid house loan had gone south we could have potentially owed $7-10 thousand dollars.  I was prepared for the worst and I came out on the best. I am so blessed. I feel like a million pounds has been lifted off me!

Gee wiz am I a lucky fool, no company, no taxes, let's do a happy dance.

I have a boat load of things to get done in the shop but I am so happy right now, I am having a hard time concentrating.  I have to focus.

1. hem green bridesmaid dress

2. hem pants, and reinforce dress seams

3. alter and press prom dress

4. go to joanns for black satin pay accountant and pick up taxes

See I need to listen to Cheryl more she always calms me down or talks  me off the ledge, and she is always right!

  4. The tax news was the best! This is a question only. There is no judgment or criticism. Since you sew so well, why do you and your sister buy clothing? Is your making them something that you do not want to do? Just curious.

    1. I do not have the time to sew for myself. I have made some beautiful things and then wore them and sold them.

  5. I wonder if your sister in-law read your blog about dreading their visit? Or is it completely anonymous?

    1. I doubt it, and if she did she certainly would have let me know. However it was not a good time for me, and I do love my relations So....

  6. I guess it is better that they cancel rather than bringing whatever the issues are causing the current mental health flare up with them. Hopefully you will be able to re-plan in the near or not so distant future.
