My horoscope said something like "It looks like you inbox had kittens, cope and plow through." They weren't kidding..thanks PTB! Too many assumptions were made by too many people while I was away and that wasn't good. I now have a vendor whining and they were supposed to send me the markups so I didn't have to review 40 drawings in their entirety for validity. Ugh. Stoopid people. And my buyer is hella confused cause she was gone the week before me and is getting everything second hand and those people are on travel this week. Cluster I say.
Got home a bit early to clean up the house cause I left things in a managed chaos on my desk but I have a plan and that is good. I cleaned up a good chunk of the house before mel got home and after he had cooled down he did dishes and cleaned up the tools and emptied the vacuum cleaner for me. I vacuumed and used the new lavendar and vanilla febreeze on the upholstery and looked pretty good. I made steak for dinner, had a few beers, mel got my pie and I was embroidering the last medallion on the front of the dress when folks arrived. I inked the scroll of painting in circles(tm) and it turned out nice. I then hopped to the family room where I continued to embroider and got about half way done with the last medallion. I will remember to print out my patterns for the large medallions but things are going very good. Folks started drifting out about 930 and were out completely by 10pm.. Mel and I chatted over a beer and shower and I got more into The Mountains of Madness by HP Lovecraft. Its mel's second fav story of his and I guess they are making it into a movie. Well, that and surfing some steampunk sites yesterday gave way to wacky steampunky dreams. Course it did not help that I woke up to an eerie blue light and freaked out only to realize it was the light on my toothbrush. yeah. I think I need to leave that alone for a while.
Anyhoo...off to work the issues and hopefully get some information out of my suppliers today.
