February 2nd.
The first day went pretty good. I have put some miles on the dress already and i think it is going to hold up. The main struggles are: walking up and stairs, going to the bathroom, being anywhere that is warm, and remembering to not throw anything away. I had to go back to the bathroom yesterday to retrieve my paper towel I accidentally threw out. I am trying to live my life as normal as possible, so I even went to the brewery last night for a beer with a friend. Sure I am getting strange looks, but if you watch long enough you may see me eat a chocolate take the wrapper, turn it into a flower, then use my tools to sew it on to the dress. It is always a work in progress, any down time is spent sewing and sorting through my collection, which is constantly growing. Speaking of which, I am just about to head to Walmart to exchange a hard drive. Its going to be awesome! I'll be sure to post a new photo every day to keep everyone up to date.
