Things still not done and we have not a lot of time....

I really don't like not having things to the level I want them to be. I'm still finishing my seams on my dress and it takes time when doing it by hand. I always mis-estimate the time on that.  I'm two seams done with two seams to go.  Oof. I still need to get the trim on and the hem with trim done as well as pack for crown, get Benton's stuff packed for his weekend with Mary/Andrew/Inara.  We are taking the truck to crown and that will be an uncomfortable ride I think.  The gas will suck but oh, well.  I just hope it makes it to and from Yuma since all of the maintenance is scheduled for next week.  Luckily, we have Premium AAA. I'm probably being a worry wort but its still worrying.  My truck is getting kinda old and needs some overhauling soon. Course I'm still looking for its replacement as well.  So, eh.

Been reading and finished book #7 Timeless which is the last in the Parasol Protectorate.  It was a nice closing to the series and I do hope that the author writes more with some of the werewolves she setup for the future.  A book 5 years from Timeless would be nice.  I'm now back to reading the Allie Beckstrom series by Devon Monk.  #8 of the year is titled Magic in the Blood.   Oh, well.  Reading is good. Probably going to be some late nights tonight and tomorrow.

Mel and I and Benton are heading out to dinner early on Thursday so we can get things done afterwards and pack. Plus it still works with Benton's bedtime. I have so much to find and put together and some projects aren't happening.  I still need time to clean my jewelry...bleah. Oh, well. Back to the grind.
