hanging on

So, of course there's the election, and I really didn't sleep much last night.

And then there's my less-than-half-time job, which is doing a good imitation of a full-time job just now. Two extra services, and Advent music for two choirs, which must be selected by Sunday at the latest.

And then there are three piano students; though they are pure joy, it's still a demand on my time.

And the kid and I got commissions for two Advent stoles, and she's at school so I'm making both, and we should ship them next week. Neither of the extra services was scheduled when we took the commissions, and we need the money....

So I realized yesterday that my head was about to explode. I had one stole completed except for some final hand stitching, so I asked a very kind friend if she'd do that for me, and she said yes. And this morning I loaded the crockpot, but I told the hubby that tomorrow is fend-for-yourself, and Friday we're going out.

If I can get through the weekend and get the stoles shipped I'll have a breather before Thanksgiving, at least. I can do this...
