pacificpikachuToday was so incredibly...busy and stressful and crazy.
I got up and did the usual prepping of the bird food, shower, changing of clothes, and all that usual morning stuff, and then went immediately to work on my cosplay. I overtook the entire dining room with fake fur of various colors and I used so much fabric glue that I had to open the windows in order to breathe. XD After hours of snipping, gluing, defuzzing, and so on and so forth, the Teto head is now mostly done. Not entirely, because I still have to do a little cutting of the fur so it's all even. There are still a few small spots where you can see the Wonderflex, but I daresay it is about 90% finished.
At about 2 PM, mom took her lunch break and picked me up and brought me to Fabric Boutique with the magpie and crow. There, I slaved over the costume for another four or five hours. I had forgotten to eat before, so I was getting a little lightheaded from hunger. Gaylene helped fit the costume better, we worked together on resolving the tail issue, and now...the costume overall is almost done. SO CLOSE. I've been working on this thing for soooo long, it's going to be amazing to be completely done with it. ;_; All I have to do is finish furring the head and fur the boots. THAT IS ALL. It looks so wonderful. ♥ It's been worth all the work and money and such, and it's going to be even more worth it when I get to stroll around the convention in it.
While I was working on my costume at Fabric Boutique, Jacqui called on my cell phone to remind me that I had phone and intake duty on Wednesday afternoon. :O So, the second I got home, I had to check the phone lines. There were two calls about birds, so I panicked and called a whole bunch of people trying to figure out anywhere the poor little guys could go. After much scrambling about and stressing, I did find a place for them, and I also found a babysitter for my magpie and crow, so at least everything was resolved. Gah, you have no idea how stressful this was, though.
I might have another call about a cat-caught magpie to make tomorrow, too. I got the message at 9:30 PM (because Bill only left a message at my Mom's), so I couldn't figure out whether I should call or not. I could definitely use another magpie, though, even though I'm going away. Gah, I should follow-up on that tomorrow. ;_;
Then while I was doing all this phone business, I also had to pack a ton of stuff for the convention/birds/car ride. It seriously looked like I planned on moving out. I had that much stuff.
The birds are getting picked up at 6 PM tomorrow, so that'll help, and I have a ton of phone calls to make to meet up with friends.
Gah, I'm sure I left stuff out. It was a busy, bustling day, and I suspect tomorrow will also be quite busy.
Oh, randomly, there was a mule deer buck walking right outside the window while I was working on my costume. I ran into the sunroom with a camera when I spotted him, so I got several good pictures of him. He spotted me while I was taking pictures of him, so he just stood there stock-still about twenty feet away for about a half-hour, staring at me. It was really amazing, even though mule deer are common.
Anyway, going to go watch some Bokurano now.
