So I am back. The move to Reno is off. We were unable to find a living/working situation that was acceptable for many reasons. I needed to be able to afford it on the new hourly rate that I was going to receive. Which was possible but everything that we found that fit our requirements was either falling down or in a neighborhood that was hugely questionable. Especially since I would be there by myself most of the time.
It is time to look at different opportunities and paths. There are even a few classes I would not mind taking. The observation was made by more then one person that everything was happening very quickly. Maybe much too quickly. Time to take a deep breath and move a bit slower with more consideration. It is actually very good for me.
The Sunday before I left for Reno, a friend helped my make a dress form. Now, I know the picture looks pretty bad. But I ran out of polyfill so it is not finished being stuffed. There are end to cover and another layer of duct tape to add. But, having my own dress form is exciting! I am working on a sweater right now which I can already seeing me walk up to the dress form to test widths and lengths.
It is probably one of the best decorations for the season I have ever had. It is a headless, armless, legless body. That matches mine! It should get along really well with the ghosties in the house.
