Today was a working day. Today I was going to get up and go work at the Zoo for the morning then go to church but all that changed when I woke up at 8am. Hubby asked me what I wanted to do and I told him I wanted to go back to sleep, so I did. Today was hubby's clear liquid diet day, getting ready for his colonoscopy tomorrow. So no food for hubby, just liquid. So I don't know why I didn't go to the Zoo, but I know that early in the morning, I will opt out of plans I make for the day. And as for church, hubby had to take two laxative pills and I didn't think he could be away from the bathroom for a hour and a half, so we stayed home. I could have gone by myself but we were snuggled and watching The Closer together and he seemed to need me to stay with him. He brought me eggs in bed and cheated by eating some himself.
I got woken up by Cassie calling me and wishing me Happy Mother's Day. She is so sweet and thoughtful! I later sent a text message to Sarah and wished her happy mother's day also. I forgot to send a message to Jessica and now I feel bad. I will have to send one to her tomorrow.
I spent the afternoon twisting wire on the broaches, 9 of them. I finished them and not a moment too soon as my right index finger is really sore and had a couple of small blisters on it. The palm of my left hand is sore from where the handle of the flat nose pliers ended. Wiring up the broaches, all 26 of them, was a long and detailed project. Today I was watching some YouTube videos on making broach bouquets and found a tip that would have helped me get them done sooner. You start the wiring by hand, twist it with the pliers to make sure the wire is secured, then tape the end and stick it into the mouth of a drill. A couple of torques with the drill and the wire is twisted. Simple.
I was looking up how to make fabric flowers for the wedding bouquet and found a couple of different ways to do it. I will have to see if I am going to make the flower first, then stick the stem of the broach in it or make the flower around the stem of the broach. Will have to try it both ways tomorrow and see what works out best. I found all the lace I bought to put between the flowers so that is nice but I can't find my Hobby Lobby bag with the base of the bouquet and my additional wire. If I can't find it tomorrow, I will have to go buy another base. And I need to find my third premade bouquet for Cassie to throw. These are just in case I don't have the time to make Cassie's bridal bouquet and the two bridesmaids bouquets. I only have a couple of days left to do everything. At least I have a dress I like and boots to wear with it. I have earrings that will go with it nicely and we get paid the day I go up for the rehearsal so hubby and I can buy dinner. Then I will be able to get Cassie's friend to do my make up. I should buy some lipstick to wear and take with me.
Poor hubby got really hungry mid day and stayed that way all day. I made him some broth and he ate/drank that. But he doesn't feel good and I have stayed with him in the evening. We are ending the day with watching Deep Space 9 on Netflix.
