I have a terrible case of the I don't want tos. The dress that is due out tomorrow is this form fitting slinky satin dress that is hard to work on. You can't make a mistake as it will show in the fabric. Of course it is a full-blown alteration. I have to take in the bust area and waist and hips. Then hem the layers and put boning back in and bustle. I got the dang thing ripped yesterday but I just don't want to do it.
Too bad I am the boss and there is no one else. I just had an easier dress picked up and that always feels good. But I can and will due this.
Although I knew I was in denial mode this morning as I took a load out of the dryer that had been there for three days. I pulled all the extra hangers out of the closet and took them to the overflowing ironing basket. I culled a few items from the closet to take to good will. I thought about watering early and I really do need to pick green beans. Anything to keep from actually doing what needs to be done.
I am a master of avoidance mode. Even the ironing basket looks good to me right now!
So, when I get like this (and it seems to be happening more often) I just tell myself one seam at a time. Get one side done at a time, now hem one layer and then the next. Finally press and bustle and that is exactly what I will do today. But I don't want to.
What do you do when you just don't want to do something?
God is good
