I also really need to wash my hair

chocolatepotFour of my magazines arrived today, and I don't care as much about how much I spent! They're worth it. The Delineator is really thick. Haven't checked all of them, but one or two pictures are cut out of a couple - usually not fashion plates, oddly. But they're really excellent and I'm looking forward to just sitting down and getting to read them straight through.
Had the brilliant idea this morning of creating Galerie des Modes pages with all the images, so that I can load them on the laptop at work and do some translation in my breaks. There are a few online resources I use while I'm working on them that I can't get at, but I can at least get most of the text and mark whatever it is that I need to look up.
NaNo is ... sticking. Part of the problem is that I find pacing very difficult to check on while writing; I won't know until afterward if I'm moving at a decent clip or if this book actually needs to be 100k words or what. But a larger problem, I think, is that I want to do translations and read 1920s magazines and not so much write. IDK, maybe it's just been a while since I last did NaNo and I don't remember how difficult it was for me other years.
I really really need to sew, or at least get things lined up so I can sew after NaNo's done. I need to make concrete plans, pick out patterns to use/alter, and buy fabric. I can do this! I might not even make a corselet, just get a sports bra or maybe a bandeau bra. If I go earlier 1920s I can get away with having more of a shape and making something that will actually look decent on me.
