Of course my nose is stuffy...

As usual before a big holiday and when friends whom I haven't seen in over a decade come to town, I try to get sick. So far it's not so bad. Just a little nasal congestion. But I ran to the dollar store and got vitamin C and some decongestant and have been taking them. I am not bed ridden, but I am noticeably coughing a bit and blowing my nose. I am AGGRO!

I had planned to keep searching for work. Even this close to Christmas. Thinking about what may happen to me in the new year has been making me depressed. How I planned to do this on line business and when I went to set it up how it turned into a complete nightmare. I feel like I should revisit it. But getting help now will be a joke since everyone is in Christmas mode. 

I have been staying on my sewing schedule. If that paid cash that would solve some issues. I think I have made 9 skirts in the past month. I finally made my Beastie Boys skirt yesterday and wore it to church today. It's pretty cool. Black and white stripes. I wore all black and white. I wish I had $100 to go to the fabric district and get some stuff to start the year off with. I would just sew for the rest of the year. I have so many ideas. This is the most I have sewn in probably two years. I made that skirt pattern and I am so excited about how good it looks I want all of my skirts to be that way. There are about 4 I will leave at maxi length. Now if I could just get a top as genius at the skirt....

JV blew me off two days in a row. It's Christmas and his kids and grandkid need his attention. So that's cool. I am supposed to meet him for lunch today. But I don't know if I am well enough. I couldn't really fake it. It's reckless to be around people when you are sick. I don't want to be locked in my room for the holiday tho. I don't want to spend the last $10 I have on medicine but I might have to.

I don't think we are getting gifts this year either. Which is depressing. I know it's better to give and all. I sound like a selfish brat. But when you are in this situation, that's usually the ONLY gift you get. I have friends, but they aren't the 'what am I getting Lyn for Christmas' types. I know what I would get them if I had the cash. I really love my friends, and wish we could hang and have fun for Christmas. Maybe Day and I will. My new S crush said something about the movies on Christmas day, if I am sick....bleh.

Example of the skirt pattern. (not Beastie Boys tho)
