Nov. 7th, 2007 10:34 amUgh. This week has left me feeling rather like I thought it was a good idea to climb into the Notre Dame bell tower and stick my head in one of the bells while it was being rung by Quasigollum. I'm exhausted and my head's spinning. Mucho suck-o. This is just further case-in-point about how I am not an extrovert. I get chatty (and a bit too profane, if you ask my mother) when I'm nervous or uncomfortable (my Native American name is Puts-Foot-In-Mouth), and coming off that nervous stint, I'm an absent-minded wreck (I'm at work right now in my house slippers... oops). Needless to say, I've been talkative and forgetful all last week and most of this one so far; I've got to unwind. I think I need to just dig out some old sewing project/experiments and work on them for a while after class tonight, with some music blasting and the door closed, to get some sense of center again. I have a yukata to let out and an okeiko vest to finish (and three more to make), so we'll see where that gets me. (I also have a 6-page paper to write sometime before the 29th, but the teacher has yet to give us what she wants formatting-wise, so I'm just going to worry about that next weekend, when I'm not housesitting. At least I have most of my sources gathered.)
Tea last night was nice, though - there was no gossip about the other teachers or other teachers' students, and there were two new-ish students who are my age, and we have tentative plans to go to Torrance and kimono-shop in the not-too-distant future. It was very much back to the way things where when I started, and reminded me why I was continuing despite the cost and time involved. I hope it stays this way for a while longer. (Note to self: Oseibo on December 8th - don't forget!) [Ro Koicha is going to KILL my legs, though. Oof. I just may have to dig out my Carmen Electra DVD and try and rebuild some muscle before long, to see if that helps at all.]
[Notes to self: look at interfacing types for a hanhaba-obi; brocades are really pretty, but flimsy on their own. Would a light canvas lining work better? Pricing. Also, pillow form and cotton print. Michaels - frames, magnets, modpodge items.]
