lwoodFrom Wednesday through Saturday of last week, I was too sick to do anything but sit in bed and play Zelda a lot.
Sunday, I got four phone calls at once, letting me know that Sick Leave Was Over, Thanks.
Monday I started digging out from under the accumulation of crap - oh, and Sunday and Monday both were marked by Damn Little Sleep, and Monday Night I realised in a dead panic that if I wanted to have a corset done by the con, dammit I'd better get cracking.
Ah, corsets... I wanted one, and a local talented seamstress is running semi-organized corset-making classes.
Tuesday morning I called her in a dead panic, three days 'til the con, and we decided it was a challenge and ran after it.
Final results?
Well...
Let's just say I look good and can still sing after being stuffed and strapped into my casing. 8-) Thanks to EvilMo and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lferion who came through in the last-minute pinch with advice and strong fingers. The outer half of each boning channel is a bit half-arsed and needs to be redone, and in front the 1/4" spiral steel boning needs to be replaced with 1/2" that we make ourselves... and there's this one grommet that's off in Fresno...
but damn-I-looked-hot. I even went and presented myself to sundry people around the con so They'd Know Dammit.
Go me.
Now I just have to survive guiding seidh in front of all and sundry at P-con, our biggest gig of the year, to be followed tomorrow by seeing for same t another session.

Re: feedback
Date: 2004-02-23 11:17 am (UTC)I'm the one who keeps trying to talk with her dead dad.
I wanted to tell you what a great tour guide you are on these trips to Hel (all 2 that I've been on)
You help it feel safe especially when some of the other folk involved are feeling a little rambunctious. I would have liked to have come back and seen you in the high seat but I get pretty exhaused after seidh. My body really feels weird while we are sitting around outside the gates. It takes me a few days to recover all the way.
Sorry I missed the corsette too. I'm glad you got it together in time.
See you around
Dragon
