I have been having some pretty major sleep problems the last month or so.  It’s making me do some pretty careless things.

Saturday, I discovered my cell phone was missing.  Wouldn’t you know that the battery died so my usual calling it doesn’t work.  We have looked and looked.  I know it is somewhere close at hand, no one has been using it.  I finally called Verizon today and had to suspend service and then called the insurance and will have a new one tomorrow. I still have 7 days to find my old phone and could return the new one in that time.  It’s awful not having a phone.  I had to borrow the imp’s phone several times today (ewwwwwwwww……it is grossly sticky) and the bride had several calls for me while we were out of town. 

This afternoon, I discovered that my debit card is missing.  I know when I used it.  I bought lunch with it for several people on Saturday while at the shop rather than take all of their money and try to sort it out in the drive-thru.  Well, when I got back to the shop, I dumped a whole soda on the floor of my car and who knows where my card ended up during that time.  I am more than frustrated at myself.  I guess I will visit the bank tomorrow if I can’t unearth it tonight.

Ahhh, well…such is life.

Today was a rat race from the moment my feet hit the floor.  I had to call my voicemail to confirm what time our therapy appointment for the little imp was.  Me thinks she had it wrong because the same day we scheduled his next appointment, we went to the dressmaker and had a fitting and scheduled the second fitting around the therapy appointment but when the therapist called my missing cell phone to remind me, she had the same time as the dressmaker appointment so we got that changed.  She did call us on the bride’s phone during lunch and said we could come at either of the times.  We ate lunch early and headed to Target for a 20 minute timekiller and that did not go over well with one little imp.  When we realized we were going to be a few minutes late, sis dragged him through the store as he kept repeating….”bye, Target, I’ll be back!”

The therapy appointment was not one of the most fun.  We start with him making copies of the handwriting book.  She needs him to turn to page 36-37.  He is turning one page at a time and taking so long to read each page number so I suggest he turn several pages at once.  “What!?!???!” he says in the funniest voice?  It only slowed him down.  From that point on, he was totally contrary.  Thankfully, the therapist just ‘gets it’ and says we’ll just work with what we’ve got today.  There is really no sense in fighting it, not for a 1 hour therapy session.  He did have fun on the swing using the claw to pick things up so we ended on a decent note. 

Then we raced to the dressmaker.  We have to go in a little room and I was thrilled to see that when she dressed, the little imp put his hood over his head on his own.  lol, he has learned well.  I was going to ask him to stand out in the hall, but wasn’t sure how the dressmaker would feel about it since he’d likely put his fingers on her walls and the bride definitely needs help getting into the dress. 

Here’s a funny pic of him through the mirror.

Something struck him funny as he sits surrounded by all that wedding fru-fru.

I am so tickled.  The bride is going to wear my pearls with her dress.  She wore them today so we could try them with the dress and they look beautiful.  My grandma gave me my pearls when I was a little older than the bride is now.  They have long been one of my best treasures and get more beautiful with age.  I need to check into seeing if they need to be restrung, but how special to have her wear them on her most special day. 

On the knitting front, I am making progress on LU.  What an easy pattern.  I have to lay it aside for a bit while I work on something for the bride, but am confident this will be finished before long.

It’s knit in the Turkish stitch which is repetitious and easy.

Every night lately we’ve been having the most beautiful sunsets.  Five minutes before this, the sky was gray…and 2 minutes after I took this, it was even brighter but I couldn’t get back outside in time to snap another picture.  Five minutes later, it was dark.

The soon-to-be married couple has vacated the premises tonight so it’s just hubby and the imp and I home.  I hope to be in bed early tonight because tomorrow is another busy day.
