Stressed

I am ridiculously exhausted today. I've spent all the day on the phone long-distance trying to figure out an apartment for when I start school. Except that I need to snap one up now because it's a ridiculous market and there will be nothing remotely near the school by September. So things had to get all re-arranged for that. And after I finally figured out the one that I want, can afford, and is around, I got a call saying it had already been put on hold by someone else. It looks like I will get a similar apartment in a nearby building owned by the same people for a similar price, but I will still have to go through a bunch more stuff tomorrow like sending cheques and emails. Yeesh!

And if this wasn't enough, I was also trying to fill out my course registration form and it didn't want to be saved on my computer so that I could send it back. Cue more stress. Eventually I figured out that I should try it on my laptop and that sorted things out. I guess I needed a newer version of Adobe or something.

Of course, doing all this means that I wasn't able to work on my Little Mermaid gown today. I got the front sections of the train done yesterday. This meant sewing them together and overcasting the CF seam allowances and hemming the angled bits. Today I was hoping to sort out the back piece of the train (the lining is somehow bigger than the fashion fabric and thus needs to be cut down) and attach the fronts to the back. Then comes the onerous chore of overcasting and hemming the whole back piece. I've decided not to really hem the train, but just overcast and turn up the edge. On the bottom the nasty, lazy hem will be covered with the balayeuse.

I need a nap, but it's not in the cards because I'm heading out to a bbq and then going to see Jurassic World! So good stuff, but soooo tired.
