It's not unusual for me to feel like I've wasted my time off at the end of a vacation. But it still sucks. I don't really feel like I've gotten much done, except my costume for tonight. Other than that, I've pretty much puttered about not accomplishing much of anything. FlyLady is on hold until tomorrow, though the sink is still devoid of dishes and I have picked up my Hot Spots. So I haven't slid backwards, just stalled.
I did proof-read a charity cookbook my friend was putting together, and found the hilarious typo 'crotch pot'. I'm glad I took the time to do it, just to save her from that, but it was 5 hours of my vacation. It's all those sorts of things that just add up and when you get to the end... you look back and wonder how you spent all your time!
And I am stressed about tonight. I don't like being in front of an audience. I'm not a good dancer. And that's not being hard on myself, I'm willing to say when I'm good at something - you want me making costumes and taking pictures! Not dancing. But I'll take one for the team. Doesn't mean I'll like it, though.
I also ruined a $35 beaded scarf yesterday. I was going to give it to a friend as a present, but it was sitting in a pile, got a snag, and when I tried to pull out the snag it snapped and turned into a run. I'm trying to look on the bright side - I can cut out the ruined center piece and sew the beaded trim onto a velvet hip wrap, which would be gorgeous and sturdy, and frankly, that much trim like that would have cost me $35 in beads, let alone $35 in trim. So, I'm really trying to be positive. *sigh*
But overall I'm too stressed. I'm meeting a friend for lunch and some shopping today, then running home to get ready for the show (make-up - I have to do make-up! D: ) and then... and then spend 3 minutes looking like a hippo being electrocuted. A hippo in a very awesome costume, but an ungraceful one none the less. Wish me luck!

And good luck on the flylady stuff, because I totally wouldn't be able to do that.
