why I need such long lead times for costumes

[sistawendy]

I discovered a few hours ago that I'm missing two entire pieces from my costume. This is what happens when you have a Frankenpattern. Luckily, I have just a few square inches more than exactly enough fabric. OK, so I won't have the pieces sewn together before I leave.

I'm feeling oogy, as if I've caught my son's cold; that's evidently the price I pay for staying home from Yom Kippur services to be with him. Please let it be mostly over before I get on a plane Friday. Please?

Helpful hint from my ear, nose, and throat doc before traveling. Take Sudafed half before hopping on plane and at least half hour before landing. Trust me your ears, head, and sinuses will thank you! Ever since I learned this has kept me from being in tears of pain on airplanes!

Gah that should just be half hour before getting on plane!
