154 and a happy new year
*blinks at weather report; cries at spelling and typing errors*
I am thrilled that the sun is coming back! THE SUN IS COMING BACK! I AM WAKING UP AGAIN.
I am bemused that it's been back for a *week* and it's 52° in Boston right now, according to my widget. It's the darkest time of the year! I just pulled my winter coat out like two weeks ago! WTF!
The Four Pants of the Minor Disturbance are waiting to have the lining attached, gathered, and sewn in; I stopped in the middle to cut a really gorgeous fitted shirt down to actually fit me. It's dark grey with pinstripes; I'm wearing it today to make sure I like the fit, and then I'll do the final stitch and serge everything. My goal for next year: decide if I want any non-neutral colors in my work wardrobe.
Gap L fits me around the bust, but the shoulder hung about halfway to my elbow. Mom helped me pin the shoulder and showed me how to put in the side dart and now it looks *awesome*.
I am going to leave those two paragraphs of Sewing! I'm sewing! and wardrobe musings muddled together, as I'm not sure I can pull them apart without major surgery.
Okay! Out to actually get groceries now, and then back to get the pants at least to the waistband stage. (I got to MB yesterday, and realized that NYE was like unto the day before a snowstorm. It was a ZOO. I got about as far as the dairy case before I said "Bugger this for a lark!" and turned around.)
Dear RCN: I know that you know where AO3 is; half of the tabs I have actually loaded right now are going \o/*. Don't tell me you don't know where it is.
