Do you ever have those days where nothing is quite going right and you are driven to distraction?
This afternoon was like that.
Tuesday is still a working afternoon for me and I was trying to close out some accounts and work on a few recalcitrant clients and get statements and letters out, as well as work out some details with former employee accounts but instead I was engaged in a steady stream of ridiculous phone calls. I don’t mind the phone generally, but these calls were all unnecessary stuff — sales, and obstinate people who didn’t understand words like "retired" and "we’re not interested" or just plain old "no".
Bah.
Then the power was flaking in and out…not usually a problem as I have a huge UPS under my sewing table/desk, and the phone line was blinking in and out with static. What is going on in my town today? It is perfectly lovely and cool, a little breezy, the kind of day where I would rather be in the yard.
So then the computer starts jamming up.
What’s a girl to do but cut out a muslin for the next iteration of the tee shirt project?
I knew there was an advantage to having the office in the sewing room. All those wasted minutes waiting for the computer to reboot or the cable modem to power back up can be put to good use laying out fabric and cutting out a pattern.
It is nice to be working on something again.
But tonight I am getting together with Alexine for knitting and tea and a bit of talk. When I get home, after dinner, I have to plan out the menus for the rest of the week and make a grocery list.
If I still have time and energy I can probably whip this up tonight and see how it fits. With only two pieces, it should be a quick job…..
and if not, well, there is always tomorrow.
