Counting down the hours...

Until my week off begins! It won't be enough time, because it never is, but it's my first break since the debacle in July and I am so excited. People ask if I'm going anywhere and I am not. I am staying firmly ensconced in my house for at least four full days. There's plenty of house-things I'd like to do, and we shall see if any of it gets done!

On one of the days, M and I have many plans to go to the conservatory and see their dinosaur exhibit, and then pay a visit to IKEA. I would really like to get some curtain rods and curtains to block the view of my apartment from the outside at night when it's super duper mega easy to see in.

I want to unpack a few more boxes and maybe start going through my fabric stash. One of the things I discussed with my therapist was ways to be more social and I think once some of that "clutter" is sorted, I could have people over. I have a couple patterns pulled out and ready to test RIGHT NOW, plus I have plans to do more costume-related things. With an almost-finished petticoat, I can make the skirt to go over top. I'd like to do the shirt waists and blouses for the top layers. I have dresses I want to try. Maybe too ambitious, especially for this short window of free time, but there are so many options.

Seven more hours to go. Yeee!
