I don't want to think about my cortisol levels

I have forgotten how to live. I know how to: sew. And study. And sew.

I'm keeping a timer of the time it takes me to sew the skirt for the Secret Costume Of Supreme Awesome. So far it's at 3 hours. I am maybe a sixth of the way finished.

(Luckily, Mai's pretty much finished -- just a couple of hems and last-minute things, all of which can be done on Saturday night.)

AND NOW: STUDY. Just as soon as I down my coffee.
