Well Damn. I came in to work to catch up from the weekend, and I can't get the product to work.
Bloody Hell.
Oh well. I had a feeling I was being warned off coming in today, when the bus I wanted to take didn't come, and I had to wait 30 minutes for the next one. But I was feeling so guilty, I couldn't bring myself to just go home. And of course, Andrew is out with the play anyway, so why not come in here and try to stay busy?
So when I'm done this entry, I guess I'm leaving. Oh well. I've got a book, I can read on the skytrain.
The sad thing is that I worked really hard to get the 7 hours of banked time that I currently have. I'm going to have to use 4 of them to make up for not working this weekend. :( But I DO have 3 months left to make it up... I shouldn't whine when there's no real issue.
I have GREAT NEWS. Today I helped a friend from work move. She's moving in with her boyfriend, they're moving to a new place together. Anyway, she picked me up and dropped me off, giving us lots of time to talk, and I mentioned my stress about sewing the dress and the jacket...
AND SHE'S GOING TO HELP ME!!!!!
In mid-May she's going to come over and we'll do Andrew's jacket. In June we'll concentrate on my dress. She says my dress will be easy, and we'll see what happens with Andrew's jacket. She thinks the worst part will be fitting it.
I am SO relieved. And even though I had those last ditch plans to ask Andrew's mum to help me, it might have driven me crazy. I get along with Heather, she's a sweetheart.
My stress relief was immediate, when she said she'd help. IMMEDIATE.
Now I feel like I can concentrate on other things, and relax. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted...
In other good news, Andrew has tomorrow completely off. Since I haven't seen him since 10:30 this morning, and won't see him until after 12 tonight, this feels like a great treat.
I'll be glad when this production is over (May 2), and we'll have all our evenings together again.
Friday was great, by the way. I baked this fantastic sage and garlic loaf, and made pumpkin butter that I swear is like dessert, it's so tasty.
Andrew fixed my sewing machine, and I sewed a bit on the couch cover, and we ripped a bunch of songs to the computer, for the day. We didn't do anything special, but we spent time together, you know? And that was treasure.
I like puttering in the kitchen at any time, but I like it even better while he's doing something else somewhere else. I like the setup of our apartment, because there's no wall between the living room and the dining area/kitchen, which allows for easy conversation while we're doing different things. I like our home, actually. I find it very comfortable.
I'm rambling, now, and I'd just rather go home. :)
