I cut this dress out more than two months ago. Because one of the students in my Sunday school class asked why I always wear the same dress. Because I do. Because very few of my dresses fit anymore. Because Lizard and I haven't been outdoors as much as we dream and want to be. And because chocolate is a comfort food...
I'm so sad I couldn't sit down for the hour and a half it would have taken to make this dress in one sitting. Mostly because I don't want to wake Lizard when he finally falls asleep, which usually happens during the day. And because sometimes I'm out like a light within seconds after he finally begins snoozing.
I'm typing this Wednesday night while waiting for the 10 p.m. alarm signaling Lizard's final meds of the evening. He's been sleeping much of the afternoon because we had a dental checkup first thing Wednesday morning. I got some work done in the yard Wednesday afternoon while he slept, but we've both been exhausted all day. I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm going to bed instead of spending the next hour at the sewing machine to attach the skirt. There's probably half an hour's work left on the dress. I could have been wearing this dress on Thursday!!!

seldom heard, well must you keep your secrets
locked inside, hidden deep from view?
