Of split shifts and sleep

Dragged my butt into work at 9:15 (truck was scheduled 8-12 and N begged me to come in). We were finished with truck right around 11 and I got out of there as fast as I could. I was meant to sew when I got home, but instead I ate a peach and a plum and took a two hour nap until I had to go back.
Then was a lovely closing shift. Mostly lovely because I love Emily and Lindsay lots. I did get through the crazy flannel cart at least.
Mom came to visit and we got to chat a bit. She gave me new shirts for work because all mine are gross and grey. I knew this, but I hardly expected her to buy me new ones. >.
Anyway! Once I got home we balanced some money stuff and got food.
Then I got to thinking that I haven't updated on costume progress in a while (Read: days).
All that's left of the navy layer is to hem the bottom/side facings. That's the last of the kimono layers!
After that I'm down to:
-painting fans
-making tabi (Saku and Benkei?)
-make obi
-find shoes!
-Trim wig and rig up some way to wear my hairpiece
Then:
-rip out and re-hem the messy bits of trim on Kagetoki's coat
-strip armor from and repair Kagetoki's boots
-pants modification for Kagetoki
I'd also like a small totebag to carry that matches Saku, and similarly, to make sure my racket case is useful for carrying things. I miss my nice silver Prince one. -.-
And some stuff for Beryl, Hyoutei, Seigaku, etc.
I also really really need pictures of my various layers and to get photos printed so that I can finish up Kagetoki's scrapbook and start on Saku's. ALSO - FILL OUT NDK WORKMANSHIP FORMS. DUE 9/9. Which is SOONER THAN YOU THINK!!
I'm getting close to the end of Oracle's Queen, which means that I may be reading Shadow's Return at the con. Whee~!
