Friday, Kim needs a keeper.

I have discovered in the last two or three days that I need a keeper.  Anyone willing to do the job?  It pays poorly, but you will laugh a lot. 

I am feeling better with every dose I take.  Still suffering from some vertigo. This morning as I was cleaning up some things in the bedroom and trying to get all unpacking put away, I went to place something in the trash can next to the bed.  I heard both the doorbells ring and stood up way too fast and hit my head VERY hard on a large bookcase that hangs from the wall.  I hit it so hard, that even though it is secure it jogged it enough to then send a picture of my two brothers from the top shelf onto head  in the exact same spot I had already hit my head.  With the vertigo, I went spinning back into the dresser and started to cry.  I rarely cry, I have a very high pain threshold. 

As the room was spinning, the dog was barking, Kelsa was screaming because I was crying and Hubs was in shock and checking my head for blood, I knew somewhere in my addled mind, that I had heard bells.  Was that my head injury?  The room was still a little tipsy.  The dog was running back and forth down the hall between the two doors.  He is trained to do this as when Hubs does not wear his hearing aids, he has to be alerted that there is someone at the door. I could see Roscoe was in a state, but I didn't know why?  I could not get myself pulled together enough to get to the doors.

I started shouting at hubs over the din that there was someone at both doors.  One was a bridal party for final fitting and pickup and the other just a pickup. Of course, he did not hear the doors and he was more concerned about me, he does not react quickly or well to intense situations and has a tendency to freeze and just go into what I call Parkinson's shock.  After finally starting to scream three times there are people at the doors, and I mean I had to scream, because he was just standing there unable to unlock himself.  He got the bridal party in and then the man at the door.  I was so embarrassed.

I tried to quell the tears, but I had no control.  All the while I had the fitting tears rolled down my face and I kept wiping them away.  I was okay, I just could not get them to stop. This has not been a good week. But the bride got off okay and pleased, thank goodness, after my theatrics. I had another bride in within minutes and I had to explain my appearance. I just want to lay down and be done with the world.

I am going to have to sew tomorrow as I don't want to get behind and I just did not feel well enough yesterday to sew more than about 5 pairs of pants. Now I have a unicorn horn on the back right side of my head. By the way the picture was of my two brothers tossing a ball to each other when they were in their teens.  I think they both enjoyed hitting me and I know it is their fault.

I need to complete all the pants and I think there are at least 17 pairs, and then I have a grooms suit to alter, and a bridesmaid dress, and three rather easy wedding dresses to do to feel like I am caught up.  Also need to alter my nieces wedding dress and I think I will do that first and also get Lil sis over here to try on her dress, so I can mark it. That way she can take them next week to the shower in St. Louis. She can leave her mother of the bride dress there and that is one less thing to pack for the actual wedding.

I need a keeper.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
