I found my fabric! The ~$150 worth of fabric I bought before leaving New York! It was in a box in the basement, yay! The box also had all the patterns that I've been unable to find. So moving has been good in one way.
I've started parting my hair further to the left, and letting the right side hang a bit more over my forehead. Olivia Pope and Lady Mary Crawley both do it and you hardly notice how high their foreheads are.
Got a call from the new temp agency! The clerical job they want to put me in for sounds perfect - filing and such, not much phone work - but it's the kind of thing where the company wants to select the resumes and interview you themselves. So the agency will give them my resume but there's no guarantee I'll get an interview.
I should be working on my dress for Julie's party, but I don't want to buy the fabric until I have a job or something like that ... I should get out some scrap fabric and work on fitting the bodice.
While sorting things downstairs, I decided that I would take some of my beloved YA/fantasy to the book sale. The stuff that I know I can get again - the Dealing with Dragons quartet, Circle of Magic, Mercedes Lackey ... I tried to give the first two there to Bella, but she isn't a reader and didn't want them. The trouble with taking things to the sale, though, is that I work on it and know that they're likely to end up recycled. :/ I did keep Protector of the Small, because three of them have Happy Birthday inscriptions to me, and all the Acorna and Pern books BECAUSE. (I don't actually have very many of them, so.)
Started to apply to a couple of jobs, but stopped because the first appears to have been taken down/filled (it's not on the site anymore, anyway), and the second is requesting seven years of experience. Ugh. Winterthur sent me a rejection letter pretty quick, too.
