Busy Busy.
You know I'm not a feminist but I've noticed that there are some 'rules' our society has created on how women and men should act when they're sick, injured or have been recently operated on.
When women get sick, they have to suck it up and fulfill their family duties like cleaning and cooking.
When men get sick, they moan and groan like they got the plague and lie around on the couch watching tv.
The above is an example of my mom and dad.
When I got my wisdom teeth taken out, I was up and about by the next day.
My brother just got his taken out today and he was spewing blood on the couch and floor. He has been moaning and groaning like some wounded soldier since this morning.
The stupid thing is that when women express how they've been injured or hurt or how much pain they're in, they're seen as being a wuss or a girly girl who can't take any pain. Guys on the other hand? Dude they can take pain but they have to parade their wounds and make some dramatic gesture about how much it hurts.
Suck it up if you're so 'manly'.
Geez.
I went to Fabricland today and on the way there I had to stop at a traffic light. I was in the left lane and there was a car with two girls my age who wanted to come back in. I didn't see them signal and when the light turned green, they tried to pull left but I already pressed the gas pedal and they got pissed off at me and started waving their hands at me angrily. They then got behind me and cut back into the left lane. I was kinda freaked out.
It wasn't my fault but I was pretty shaken at the store.
I hate bad drivers. I did something stupid myself and I felt really bad after (due to long hours of sewing).
I also hate trucks.
Anyway at Fabricland after I calmed down a bit, I walked around looking for some fabrics for a future project (I'm really ahead of myself now. I have two projects on the go and I am sticking in a third).
So I brought two fabrics to be cut- one a green grey solid and the other a browny yellow plaid (yeah it looks kind of ugly. but you know how something can be so ugly it can actually be passed off as decent). I asked the lady who was cutting it if they matched. She gave me an absolute "no!" and made me go around to look at the other plaids to match the solid. I ended up getting the same plaid. She must think I'm crazy. I don't think it looks too bad but I've become desensitized to what is ugly because I think anything can be put together nicely.
So now I'm uncertain about the plaid but I'll use it anyway.
I went for two hours of sewing.. around 5:20 till 8. And then came home and did some more sewing. I feel so achy now.
Busy week:
Tues: Softball, Tania's house, cooking lesson at aunt's house
Wed: Sewing class
Thurs: AY get together, lunch with Duke friend before she leaves, sewing class
Fri: Salt (probably do some independent sewing)
Sat: Photo session (so unorganized right now. :S)
Sun: Church (wow no softball!)
Yeah... August is almost over. :( I feel like it just started
