I had a crazy bride episode yesterday where the bride was caught by her family in a myriad of lies and would not even come to my shop and pick up her dress. My oh my the holes some people dig for themselves. Then I had another set of dress blues come in for this weekend. The young man had no sleeve ribbon but I told him I thought I had a set of those and when he shows up with this uniform jacket that looked like it had been slept in for a week he then told me he could not find his new rank in his apartment. I was not surprised from the looks of the jacket. So I dug around in my leftover patches drawer and found two of his rank (I never throw away anything taken off a uniform). I often wonder how we give these people guns.
I was able to get three dresses done and couple of things left from the pile. I also ripped all the uniforms so they are ready to go this afternoon. If I can get the uniforms done and one other sequin dress then I just have a mans wedding suit that needs some alteration, and a thorough pressing. I think I should be able to get this done by late this afternoon,and then I feel like I might be caught up at least for this week. I just pray no other emergencies come in.
I had a couple of men who came in for a wedding try on, lift the BBQ grills into Hubs pickup for me and hubs took them to the dump. So happy as they have been sitting out in the driveway since B's wedding. So one thing off the list.
Priorities for today:
1. Marine dress blue full set done
2.
3.
4
5. hem pants and take up shirt sleeves and press wedding suit
6
That is it for the shop! Then maybe I can get something else done, like pay the bills and put things away in the kitchen, or the laundry or something on the list. Wouldn't that be great!
I would love to get outside this evening as the weather is so beautiful, but we will see. I love to be outside it makes me happy.
What makes you happy? What are you going to try and accomplish today?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
