brightbluegirlWell, I worked late last night, so we didn't work on fitting Andrew's jacket as planned.
That's ok, though. I need to bank extra hours so I can take time off before the whatzit. Right now, I'm taking the week off afterwards, using vacation time, but I would like to take at least the Friday before-hand off in order to prepare for the weekend, and I'm starting to think that taking the Thursday off as well will be really good.
So I need banked time to do that. It's all good! I'm trying to learn about balancing life. That means sometimes my priority has to be working late, sometimes it has to be sewing, and sometimes it has to be working out. It means that I'm working out less than I'm used to - but I'm less stressed, less guilty, and I feel more... well, balanced. Heh.
Tonight we meet with the goldsmith. I'm a little excited, and a little... worried? Something. We've already had one person try to convince us to get gold rings instead of silver. And I'm worried that the charges are not going to be as reasonable as we were led to believe, and that we'll have to leave and find another place, buy off the rack somewhere, or find another solution. I'm not AS concerned as I might sound... but it's still something I'm thinking about.
If all goes well, I won't be tired when we get home, and we'll work on fitting his jacket.
We got another one of those stupidly long packed with information and questions emails from his mother about details of our whatzit that she really does not need to concern herself with. I really get tired of finding new ways to politely tell her that her idea SUCKS and is FAR FROM OUR VISION and that she needs to BACK OFF and LET US DO IT OUR WAY. Sigh. They also asked if they are welcome at the legal ceremony. Heh. The answer is NO. We're just getting the legal ceremony out of the way. It's going to be private and quick, and that's IT, because we'll have too much to do that day as it is.
I still owe several people emails, including several recipes to![[info]](https://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
rowan23 , but maybe by the end of tomorrow night, if all goes well, I'll be able to catch up on all that, AND send his mother an email with all the answers to her questions.
Unless Andrew can craft one tonight, and let me read over it. I'd really rather she hear she's not invited to the legal ceremony from him. We'll see how tonight goes.
There's only 3 months left!!!

We're having it on the Saturday at noon. Just a quick thing, in and out with our witnesses. :)
