Friday ended with a very stressful meeting filled day and I really didn't get to stop thinking about work until I shut things off at 530 after having been "ON" with tons of zoom meetings since 730AM. I had meetings with upper level program management most of the day and it was a lot of diplomacy and some engineering discussion on an issue that just popped up. It was hard. I had a huge headache and made myself a big G&T and picked up my knitting and made Benton watch a movie with me. We watched Age of Ultron since we are going through the movies in order with Benton and it was fun. That movie really needed to be two movies for how much stuff was in it. We had spicy ramen dinner, had a visit from Ari (who we almost poisoned with the dinner, oops) and I went to bed with the goal to get up and hit the gym and get things going for the day.

I woke up really rough and didn't feel right. Got hit with bad GI issues and was glad I didn't go to the gym and I basically stayed near my bathroom for the day and snuggled up in bed reading or watching things on my iPad. It was rough. I had toast and mashed potatoes. I had manage one outing to get a pickup from our B&B which was nice and then back home. Thinking on it I was the only one to have tummy issues and I was also the only one eating the really spicy guacamole and then following it up with really spicy soup. I think the gauc had gone off. I went to bed early after sitting up in the living room for a while.

So Saturday was shot. Ugh.

Sunday I woke up and felt better. I was hungry and that was good. I had some coffee and a donut and then got a really good shower where I decided to blow dry my hair. The tippy tips of my hair now reach my tailbone tattoo which is cool. I had chopped about an inch of really wispy stuff off the end of my braid on Friday. Its much more grey than it had been and i can see where the dye is slowly pulling off the grey since those bits are this weird shiny auburn cause I have silver not grey. So its a thing.

After that I hit the stores and got my gifty from Danabren (THANK YOU!) and then home. I was tired and hangry...I had a very late lunch and then sat on my duff. Mel came in to play video games and he got me a naalbinding needle so I just started my hat for the CCC. I'm working with my own handspun which is awesome.

Did I get to any of my to do list? No. Did I have a nice weekend even though I had food poisoning? Yeah, I did. I even worked on my CCC project even though its not the part I expected to work on. It take a lot of brain power for me to cut out fabric...and I'm still trying to decide how I want the silk front to look (side split versus center split) and what length of sleeve? Short or long?
Thoughts?
Here is the trim and the silk:

And this is the overdress linen:
