totchipandaIt's still busted. I'm gonna call after lunch for an update if possible bc this project is gonna back up real fast if I have to wait for other people to print the things for me. Plus I have new things that need printing and... (fidgets) I want to do my woooooork.
I still have not fiddled with sleeves on the jacket. I tried to raise the pattern piece but that changed the armscye on the front piece too and it was very confusing, so I have been letting my brain puzzle it out in the background. I still have those waistbands to finish after all.
Then Meg and I were talking about them and she had to raise hers a small amount too, and suggested doing it on the sleeve piece instead. Which does make sense bc that would leave the elbow in place and allow the armscye edge to sit higher. I should have some time in my sewing room tonight to fiddle with that.
I wish I had more to talk about, but I've been so bloody tired this week. I've been off of the BC hormones since end of October now, and I have NO IDEA what to expect in terms of when my period is gonna start etc. After the last one, which was 6 weeks from the end of my previous hormone-controlled one, I downloaded the tracker my roommate uses, set it to the longest possible length of time (35 days), and have just kept it in the back of my mind.
They have a long list of potential symptoms, one of which is insomnia. My insomnia has been so bad, I went to bed at 8pm on Wednesday and woke up at midnight, dozed around 4am, up at 5:30, and didn't sleep again until last night around like 10. And it was really bad in the days leading up to the last period too. So while the tracker currently says next week, I think it's more likely to be in the next day or three.
