Wednesday, when it rains!

 I know a little sacrilegious, but I feel this way at times.

So that wedding dress from hell is gone.  Thank goodness as I wanted to light a match under it.  Took me 4 hours to complete.  Most of it is hand sewing....

Needless to say, my neck is a little sore.

But onto more important stuff.

Kay was leaving yesterday morning, and before she got far out of town, Dan called her to say his heart was acting up.  She returned and he was in A-fib.  So, I got to babysit Dan as she left town again.  Made him stay up here in the spare room so I was close if he needed to go back to hospital.  Kay has the car.

It was a long day yesterday, and I made a new sewing rule.  I no longer line bodices on corset gowns.  If you buy a sheer corset gown, find someone else or don't buy it.   It takes hours of hand sewing and I clearly underbid the dress.  I just don't want to do it at any price. There I have spoken.

My neighbor just came over with KiKi or garage cat who has clearly been attacked by a coyote.  I believe she is paralyzed on her back half, and I will have to put her down. Just what I need right now. I have her in a kennel in the house with water, but she is not eating or drinking.  She does not appear to be in pain. Poor darling.

Called Vet going in at 4:20. If she was in pain, I would have paid for an emergency visit. Oh my, life just throws things at you left and right.

I have three sister missionaries weeding my garden bed right now!  Isn't that great! I can so use the outside help.  I don't want Dan out in the heat, until we get an all clear on him.  Kay should be back tomorrow afternoon.

SO now that my day has been blown up what am I going to do next? Well, the piles. I have been waiting to do these all week. Let's list them just so we know where we are....

1. hem pants, and take in top

2. enlarge waste on pants

3. fix pockets in three pairs of shorts

4. hem a skirt and alter a neckline

5. shorten sleeves on three dress shirts and hem a pair of pants

6. hem 4 pairs of pants

7. put zippers in Indian leggings 

8. Alter a pile of tops 5 and fix waist on pants.

Okay can I get this done today?  I hope so.

On your mark get set go!

I feel terrible about my cat.
