I sewed all day yesterday and now I have two wedding dresses that I can finish today and then start on a third. I finally figured out what my problem is... I am tired of sewing.
I actually really enjoy sewing, but trying to keep up is getting old. I am not behind like I was last year, so I don't have that stress but trying to keep up from getting behind is also a stress.
I am reaching a point now that I will not be able to take on any new sewing until I get back from vacation.
I had another wedding dress come in yesterday, that someone's grandma was supposed to do and then grandma realized it was too hard. Wedding in two weeks. So, in reality with the dress I did yesterday for my little sister's stepdaughter and this grandma fiasco added two more to the already tight list. I am over it. No more. This girl is done. I have this week which is short and then next week, and I am out of here.
We are in our hot season. 102 yesterday and 104 today. I was able to get 1/2 the weeds in the front yard pulled last night after the sun went down and will do the other 1/2 tonight. The chickens need fresh cool water, and I have been giving them corn cobs every night which they love. I change the water twice a day. Also, I cannot skip watering as all the flower beds, pots and part of the garden are hand watered. This takes me almost an hour. So right now, a minimum of 2 hours of yard duties and I really should spend more time out there. I am in the keep it alive mode for the next month.
I just responded to a txt where a client who wants a fitting on Saturday. She tried the same thing last week. I am not open on Saturdays and Sundays. People will just push and push for their convenience, and I am over it! Is it an emergency? As in a funeral? Then no come when I am open. Oh, Kim is developing an attitude. Remember the Fridays off? Well, that has not happened for a long time, and I knew it would not work during high bridal season, but that is coming back my friends.
Okay enough feeling sorry for myself and complaining. I need to get to work. When I have two dresses done and ready to go out, I will feel better and less anxious. Alos need to quickly pay my bills it is the first!
Have a great and productive day
God is good
Kim
Hold firm on those weekends, Kim. We all need some relief where no one( but those we choose) invade our space. I just noticed some jobs are posted already for fall...I'm glad my to hold off accepting until I get my times booked. I hear you though on bills to pay and expenses to save for.
ReplyDeleteI am all over that, those that I choose.
DeleteDefinitely close on Fridays. I can see being open during the wedding high season, but not at other times of the year. Stick to your guns re the fitting times.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I have always been a people pleaser, and I am becoming less so.
DeleteI agree with Jackie. Also QUIT making more work - say no!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am with you on this. No more work before I leave!
DeleteYes, stick to your guns about no weekends!
ReplyDeleteYikes, it is hot there! 🥵 stay safe outside!
It is hot here also, I love the heat especially when I am at a swimming pool I can jump into!
DeleteJust so you know, the weather where Kim lives is very dry--not humid at all. Although the really hot weather is HOT, it's nothing like when I lived in New York. I remember hearing on the radio that it was 98 degrees and 98% humidity. That wasn't the worst it ever was, but it has stuck in my mind in my mind for over 50 years. Also, everything where Kim lives is air conditioned. Everything. And it is on two rivers, so you can always cool off in the water.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I am now 100 miles north of her and it is 95F today with low humidity. I am at a higher elevation.
It is a very dry heat here which is much easier to take than humidity.
