Making amends
I want to get my act together and start posting more regularly again. This is nothing special, I haven't got much sewing done this summer other than a few projects for other people that needed finishing, so there is nothing new and nothing exciting to show so far. I have a few things I'll try to start on in the next few weeks, though - a take on tropical uniforms, among other things, just in time for, um, autumn..
Well. Went out a couple of nights ago, anyway, and took a few photos beforehand. Not a big affair, but I haven't been out in ages and just putting on some lipstick and a cap felt pretty great. So did getting well and truly drunk, actually, that was a bit of a surprise.. I have been a social animal lately, seeing a lot of old friends and making a few new ones, and that resolution of mine is working rather well, too. Don't know if I wrote about it here, but I'm a habitual naysayer; I say no, thank you to things without giving it much thought, and it's a bad habit that I am trying to break. So, I said yes please to a pre-party at an acquaintance's place, unhealthy amounts of gin and tonic, a new psychobilly club and, predictably, ended up having a nice night out - I don't even know why I got into the habit of not going along with things like that.
A friend pulled me aside and said some incredibly sweet and thoughtful things, too, the kind of things that are still making me feel better about myself after both the buzz and the hangover have passed. I should try to see more of him, too.
Anyway, it's nice to be back.
