like the past met the future but the present got scissored

So, I'm sick. I have some sort of a virus. My head really hurts and I was nauseous for over 24 hours. Sometime yesterday I stopped feeling nauseous so, I'd say that's a win.

You know what's a bad idea. Going on a site visit when you have a virus. I was totally wiped after it. And the slight bus sickness just escalated. Seriously, not a good idea. On the plus side I got to wear a hard hat and obnoxiously orange vest and safety goggles. SAFETY GOGGLES I TELL YOU. And you know what's fun about walking around an almost finished train station... nothing.

Well, anyway, that's not what I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is the other side of being sick. The 'Oh, my god, I am unbelievably bored!' side. I've watched I don't even know how many episodes of Gilmore Girls in the last three days. It's been a lot. But, but, but... I did do this:



This was my fist idea. I like it. I liked the idea of the midriff until I realised no one should ever wear a midriff, well, ok, unless you constantly work out. most of the stuff I already have, the skirt, the vest, the shoes and the hat. I'm beginning to realise I pretty much have as much dress-up clothes as I do wear everyday clothes. Some even can be both, which is fun.



This one is, obviously, my second idea. I like it a little better. It's my 1899 Steampunk look. I think I like it better because it's obviously late 1800s. And don't bother pointing out that it's pretty much the same as the first one, i know. (Oh, the foxtel add just came on and it has the original fiveawesomegirls theme music in it, hilarious). The idea for the belt (gypsy chain thing), I completely stole but I liked the idea to just put a whole lot of stuff I can play with, a fan, a spyglass, a slingshot, wrench, (I wanted a lock pick set but it's illegal to take outside, if it actually works) and a small bag for modern stuff you need.



And just all the accessories I'd need. If this goes ahead, it's gonna be really easy. I don't really need much, a trip to the hardware store and a trip to the thrift store and I'm done.

Until next time,
Katherine

One last thing, enjoy.
