The Countdown begins.....

Well today I went and got my textbooks for class. Robbery I say Robbery! Its ridiculous how much books cost. One of my books is an older book but still cost me 150.00. Really? Ugh. Its so hot outside today, and I missed lunch. My usual lunch companion couldn't make lunch. Hmm I hope he at least got some resemblance of food today. So I almost over heated. I had on jeans and a jersey shirt- too hot. Now I'm in shorts and a tee.

Lets see---ah I managed to get Lonnie's split pants done. No tunic not yet. My plan is maybe to get that done today. I have company over on Saturday so no sewing then. I got all my mending done now its just the need to finish up tunics. I need to make one for Draziel and Galene (lonnie). I really don't do so well on tunics...hence I don't sew them. ;) Split pants pssh! I can pump them out in no time. 

I watched my page/bestfriend sew a t tunic for the first time. He did a dang good job. He did a french seam for the first time. For him trying something he's never done before he did really great. He loves it and he has a shirt to go with his monk. So :) kudos!

SO I must either play sims 3 or continue getting ready for class Monday......crud I have to put points in on the 6 point day. Then sims...i mean then I will finish getting ready. ;)

State of Mental

Well things have been remotely difficult for me. I've been seeing a counselor for a year. I'm going back to seeing my old counselor that is on campus. I will also be seeing the doctor there like wise. Things have been tough. Its been a while since I've posted. I kinda lost a lot of drive and I'm just getting it back. Being in a manic isn't as cool as people may think it is. I can't keep things straight. I'm not in the bubbly or angry but in this funk manic. I've decided to try and stay out of the hospital. Each time I go in its like I loose who I am. I know its meant to help me but I am tired of emotional genocide.

Enough on the bad. I have a friend who came in my life a year ago and he has become my best friend.  He has helped me get out of some of the ruts I've been in. He has me praying again-I guess I just forgot how to do it for a while. We've rearranged outside with the help of Gary. We bought plants and potted them up and put them with the table on the front porch. Saturday we were up early and we cleaned and potted up our large planter that we built. I have planted some veggies and even started propagating some cuttings. :) I'm glad for the push, I really needed it.

Last night Garrett decided some of the clutter had to go. So we started around 7 and finished around midnight. The house looks better. We are talking about doing the dining room next just to clean up and get rid of clutter. I like it but I don't know if I will have the energy to do it today. I feel as if I need to go back to bed. But I want to get the house ready because in a couple of weeks I will be holding a stitch party. I'm hoping people actually come. I will be in class for two weeks but taking one night to have people over for sewing isn't a bad thing. So I really don't want the house a total wreck when people come.

I managed to finish a coat that I'd been working on.
