Day Eighty-Six - And Why Do We Fall?

When I started this project I accepted the fact that not everything would go according to plan. To my shock and suprise, it has - for the most part. I haven't been 100% happy with all of the results of my "things" - but I have successfully completed them. Today's thing...I did complete, but the results ain't pretty.

I have a lot of clothes. I hate shopping, but I never grow. I've been this height since I was 12 years old and my weight doesn't tend to fluctuate. Hence, the clothes. When my clothes fall into a state of disrepair I look @ them and sigh - can't they just fix themselves? Do I really have to do anything? I hold on to the clothes in need of some TLC for a while...then they fall to the bottom of the closet...and eventually they get tossed out. Okay - I know, I know! It's a horrible waste and I'm a horrible person [also, a lazy person]. So tonight I repaired clothing. I even went out and bought a special sewing kit [I am on the lookout for a proper cheap sewing machine, but nothing yet]. I had an insanely difficult time threading the needle and Joseph succeeded before I did. Then, I sewed. My stitching technique is okay, I think...but...it was a difficult thing to stitch up [the slit in Black Suit #5 had gotten too high cut - appropriate for strippers dressed like sexy secretaries maybe]...and it looks pretty bad. I am going to have to remove the stitches and redo.

Blah - I hate not doing things well.
