Day 111: Breakthrough

For the past several years, I have been specializing in mens' period costumes. Yes, I do womens' wear as well, but not as confidently as I do mens' wear. Therefore, I am considered a specialist, which has really limited hiring ability. I love what I do.

Today was amazing. I had a fitting with a dancer (female) for whom I had made a wheel farthingale and corset--not something I have ever done before. It was amazing to see my work--work. Everything went on as though I'd been doing this for years. Really exciting to see. To celebrate that achievement, JE took me to our favorite Japanese restaurant, Fukada's in Irvine. Unagi Don is a favorite way to celebrate (that and jumping up and down smiling!!!)

I'm hoping my triathlon is similar in nature to this; easier than anticipated. I can run a 5K, swim 200 yards (far more than that, in reality) and I can absolutely cycle 12 miles. I'm just not quite sure I can put it all together and do it in less than 2 hours!

Oh, and yes, I am living up to my goals for exercise this week. Enjoying the work.
