ALMOST THERE.
Just have to plant my home garden now, and get that jeans zipper replaced for the customer, and get the bag sewn up for the table skirts I made for the rush order two weeks ago, and finish up the honeymoon dinner dress for the really easy-going client, and then I can breathe for a week before I start work on (I'm really excited about this) the pioneer day dress for another customer who works at Lang Village - a kind of living museum of notable pioneers in the Peterborough area; she's restoring the heirloom gardens, and the costume she's been given is about 20 years old and shows every month of its age. Thing is, I have to modify the biggest size 20 pattern (suitable for a 44" bust) to accommodate a... considerably more well-endowed woman. Good thing it's not all that fitted, and the attached skirt is already massively gathered... Yeah. I'm excited about this one. :-) I like learning when earning.
Oh, and DH FINALLY cleared out the drainage tube from the freezer to the evaporation pan beneath the motor, so water no longer pools in the bottom of the refrigerator beneath the crisper drawers, and then piddles all over the floor when the door seal can no longer hold back the tide. I would be mopping up a puddle either in or under the fridge every fricken day, and he was all "Yeah, I'll check it out later." Argh. People, I tell you to take a good, maintenance-minded look at your appliances, and FLUSH tubing and such right after a prolonged blackout, especially if you've had anything melt in your freezer. There was black stuff GROWING inside that tube, blocking it. GR0ZZ.
