On problem, and one triumph

crankyoldmanThanks to the advice of irishais (I feel kind of idiotic for forgetting to DOUBLE UP THE THREAD), this jacket I suddenly had the urge to alter (well, the shoulders drove me NUTS, 1980s, I'm looking at you) so that I might actually wear it more has been a great success! I now have one sleeve adjusted with only a little bit of a foible (since I don't have straight pins, I've been using safety pins to tack off my sleeve to where I wanted it) but I am going to turn that hopefully into looking intentional. I'll try at least.
I'll be fun when I make the thing somewhat asymmetrical in the front and find various metal things to attach to it.
Now the real problem. I woke up at 3pm today.
I've been damned good about waking up, and even when I sleep in, it tends to be no more than 9 hours after I go to sleep. Or before noon. But 3! Damns. I set an alarm, but I forgot my alarm clock has a "weekday" and a "weekend" and "all days" setting and that it was set for "weekday". Live and learn. I have to get up tomorrow, the parents are visiting at 11 or so and then I get to go hang out at Justin's place he makes a roast. REAL MEATS. Oh, how I miss thee. AND BEER.
I would rant about the dorm policy to not allow alcohol, even if you're of legal age and in a SINGLE ROOM, but I'll just leave it at this statement.
So I need to readjust today's plans (which were a LOT, and I MISSED LUNCH EVEN GODDAMMIT, well, at least I have a sandwich in the fridge...) and get going.

P.S. Don't be shy! Check out my meme here! I know a lot of you are writers!
