lets see it's noon on sunday and so far I've gone out for brunch and walked the dog...I'm going to set up some filming stuff and work on the Augusta Stays next I think. I've discovered one of the things that's different about costuming and blogging and costuming on video is when you blog you can really put minimal effort into the documenting sans snapping a few photos during it and think about it all later. When I blog something I make stays then write a blog about it, when I'm making stays for a video what I'm really making is a stays video and the stays themselves are a bonus product...does that make sense?...probably why vlogging is the easiest form of costume content but I think it's actually much more "filler" than real content...

and just as proof that I DID in fact knit my last 3 rows...it took me 2 years to make this side of the pinball...and I'd LOVE to have the other side for February in Williamsburg.........hahahaha

Well work is definitely getting easier. I walk out of a 12 hour day with a few brain cells left to rub together. I've been on my own twice now which is great. On Sunday I did have a kid try and die on me which I did NOT appreciate. Yo kid, keep with the breathing please! but otherwise been going smoothly...everyone is nice...but still in a kind of distant way. Don't feel like I've made any really friends yet. For example I've come every day since Christmas with a rubber chicken purse...and no one has commented? I feel like that's noteworthy...

Rob's really struggling with withdrawl symptoms from his cymbalta. Apparently that's a stand alone diagnosis it has such a bad rap. Days of just crying uncontrollably or feelings of rage and suicidal ideation. *sigh* it's been a rocky ride. But Friday he starts his new meds and hopefully we're headed upwards from there. Today does seem better than yesterday. And he worked Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday and again this Saturday. Not huge jobs but just getting him OUT and into contact with his world is a step forward.

I ended up with two days off in a row because one of the doctors at my other job had eye surgery and it didn't go well so he didn't come back on Monday as expected so woohoo day off for me...but I didn't get a lot done. I did some minor picking up and a lot of puttering and knit on this pinball. But I'm having a hard time not feeling like I'm walking underwater. I know a lot of it is internalizing Rob.


So here have a pinball progress photo. I'm officially 25% complete with the first side. I'm hoping to have it complete for the Georgian Picnic some of us have decided to have in May...btw if anyone wants to come to a Georgian Picnic and I didn't invite on FB just lemme know I would love to add you.
