7 work days left.....
Dec. 9th, 2024 10:13 amIts monday now. The weekend was full of stuff. The house is now holiday decorated though messy. I got the lights on the house before I left with Ari for my tattoo appointment. Got rock star parking and then it was time to sit in a weird bent over position off an on for 6 hours while she put a beautiful raven, flowers/frame on my low back. its covering up my first tattoo of an alto clef I got almost 20 years ago. I had given her ideas of what I wanted and this hit it out of the park. Ari was with me and we chatted while Gail did her painful magic. Gail had "the Spice must flow!" and "feathers look great on butts" as fun phrasing. LOL. I played stardew on my ipad and played games on my phone while I was hunched over a bolster and my travel cat. I had to tap out after she finished the raven cause I was just done and my skin was very numb and sitting was hard. Ari and I headed to Sushi-Cho for dinner and sake bombs. I was so tired but the food was good. Got home and relaxed with the boys for a while before I just curled up in bed.
The tattoo
I did not sleep well. I was oozing and could not get comfortable. I finally got some good sleep after 5am but was up about 930am. I came out after washing the tattoo and putting on my hustle butter. Mel was playing Stardew and I started on my ipad. When benton got up a bit later I asked if he would help me with the tree since I wasn't up for the full thing. He said he was up for that as long as we watched Muppet Christmas Carol which I replied with "Duh!" We had a nice slow time setting up the tree. He did almost all of the ornaments as I was crashing tired. My back hurt and we hung out watching Muppets after we finished the movie. I made cocoa and we had a nice time. We got the last of the outside stuff up with the airfilled cat and the sparkly lighted snowflake. That was teh only time Benton and I got into a grumpfest and that was my pained back and his not wanting to walk through the house to get something. Sighs. But honestly, it wasn't bad. Mel has spent the entire afternoon in the shop being a happy happy Ivan. He then made a nummy dinner. I remembered that I can ice my back and had an ice pack on and OMG was the wonderful. After I took a nice cool shower I was able to sleep well.
Today my main fabric arrived. But my studio is a mess of packages. I need to sort, wrap and ship things and get things under the tree. Then it can be sewing fest.
