Apr. 12th, 2016 04:30 pmHmmmm I meant to post again shortly after my last post but apparently I got distracted.
Costume for expo is coming along slowly. It's being worked on at Nicole's house but somehow we always end up running errands or something when I'm supposed to be sewing. I want to be applying jewels to it this weekend but it's not really ready for that. My evenings this week are pretty full... Running errands, mostly.
Jenny sounds great! She sounds about as good as an 11 year old machine who just had her first servicing can. The zig zag stitch seems to be a bit funky now, but I'm not sure if that might be just the fabric I was stitching on. Will need further testing.
Dance recital went well, I think. Loved watching my friends dance, even though I missed dancing with them at the same time.
Last night I stepped into a hole and fell, bruising up one ankle and both wrists. I opted not to do any data entry today. I can bear weight on my foot, but the rolling motion of heel to toe as I walk is unpleasant, so I'm not getting anywhere fast. I've sprained my ankles and wrists so many times, I'm a little surprised it's been almost 10 years to the day since the last time.
Now that it's not March, and it took a few days, but I'm finally noticing that I'm much more even-keeled, emotions wise. And I don't really remember a lot of March, which is a little concerning. If I hadn't been documenting the roller coaster I was on, I wouldn't remember how extreme it was. If I had to guess, I would call it an anxiety spiral. My shoulders were always so tense no matter what I did, even when things were relatively calm. I think I'll bring it up with my doc next month. I wasn't a danger to myself but the highs and lows were pretty awful and I want to see if the anxiety can be treated without SSRIs.
Sewing wise I have no immediate plans, but I need to get out of my funk (and out of my chaffeur role lol) and get down to it. Problem is, I don't know what I want to work on! I think I hear the riding habit calling my name though...
