of colds & CosCol & stays
I am sick. With a head cold this time. Woke up yesterday morning with a sore throat, no voice and a fever. Feeling slightly better today, although the throat is actually less happy. Yay for ice water and Klondike bars.
The timing is pretty crappy as this weekend is CosCol so instead of staying busy, which had been my plan to keep my mind off it, I have nothing to do but watch TV, refresh the friend's list and think about what I'd be doing if I were in LA right now. *sigh* I know that not going to CosCol this year was totally the right decision but I still miss it dreadfully. More than I thought I would honestly. So many thanks to all of you who are updating your LJs with posts and pics of CosCol fun... it's nice to live vicariously through them. Surprisingly it's easier knowing exactly what fun one is missing rather than just trying to imagine it. :P
I almost had some energy this afternoon so i pulled out my 1804 stays with the intention of working on some eyelets. I got as far as moving my bin o' sewing notions to the TV, washing my hands and transferring the steel boning from the old stays to the new, when I discovered that the boning in the back piece is slightly too long for the new stays. *gives stays a dirty look* So I can either order some new bones or simply recut/resew the back piece, making it 3/8" longer. Not a huge bit deal in the grand scheme of life but it totally killed any inclination I had to be productive for the day. Oh well.
