Brain reboot
Sep. 7th, 2006 09:41 amHave you ever watched really young puppies? They mostly sleep. Every once in a while they wake up and scootch around a little bit, and then they fall back asleep. This is what I've been like for the last couple of days. Yesterday I was able to stay awake and out of bed more, but when I tried to read my brain wasn't up to it. Today my brain feels like it may be capable of some work. I'm still at home, though.
Like I said I was unable to do any serious reading yesterday. Since I *could* be out of bed, and I hate wasting time, I was able to to a bit of sewing work. Nothing that I could ruin, mind you. I was able to cut out and baste together some drill for a bodice fitting for the 12th Night dress, and was able to put together draft 2 of my victorian corset for another fitting. Since I now hove friends to help fit I'm going to wait until I can avail myself of their services and not try to fit myself. Unfortuantely I'm not going to be at sewing tonight.
I now have fabric for a bunch of outfits. Thanks to g0atface I'm covered for tourney-wear, so I can just focus on the stuff I enjoy sewing: foofy impractical 16th C stuff! ( Read more... )
On the riding front, nothing. I rode Monday and haven't been out of my house since. Brandee's getting a training ride today, so that's something.
Pop Culture: When I bought Rome it came with a sampler of other HBO shows, including the first episode of Deadwood. I watched it for the first time yesterday. Yup, that's a good series, and now I want to see the rest of it. And I confess that the Calamity Jane character reminded me very much of a certain old Westermarker who will remain unnamed but has the first initial of "B". ;-) Other than that this house has been having a Netflix-provided CSI marathon. I'm addicted! We are halfway though season 4 now.
OK, *must* get some work done today.
