This week was horrible. I caught a stomach flu on Monday, then was miserable the rest of the week. I didn't take any time off of work, because we'd had a problem with one of the servers that needed to get sorted out ASAP. So I worked from home... and spent a lot of hours fixing things. Then I had to be in the office to help manage a set of complicated releases.
Then I went into the office yesterday, which was Saturday; one of the other departments needed help with one of their messes, and the issue is/was important enough to my department that several of us were there to help out.
Then I sewed some stuff. And that's been the entire week.
With the kids costumes this year, I have hit the bifecta for types of fabrics that are obnoxious to sew; Osric's costume has this super fluffy fabric, which when doubled up barely fits under the presser foot of the sewing machine. Saffron's costume involved sewing together two thin, very slippery fabrics -- I should have ironed on stabilizer onto one of them at least, but I didn't realize how big a problem it was going to be until it was too late. Also, sequin hearts that melt when you get them too hot is not good. Not good for iron, not good for fabric, not good for my fingers.
Blah.
