I prepared the bulk newsletter mailing today with some help and my hands/wrists are DYING. ~670 newsletters, each needed a flyer inserted and folded, then they had to be taped at each end, and the address sticker put on. Then I carried the three short trays to the post office. Man. But I still managed to add to the petticoat waistbands and reattach the buttons, so all that's left for sewing is to do a button and buttonhole on the drawers, although I'm very tempted right now to use a safety pin and call it a day.

But we're altogether very close to the day, and the only thing I've done wrong is not save photocopies of sponsorship checks, and Sue seemed only moderately annoyed about it! Oh, and I also processed the sponsorships as memberships rather than donations. Maybe because she's come to terms with just how crappy I am with office/filing type stuff. Things are going all right.

How do other people arrange reenactment events? How do they cope with the anxiety/stress? ... Well, I guess they don't usually have quite so many moving parts, at least for non-battle events, I mean. I would like to arrange a Georgian picnic now, just for the fun of it.
