Yesterday I gave myself a stress headache from subconciously clenching my jaw over and over.
The culprit? "Would I have to do OFW?" stress.
I touched on not wanting to present at OFW last week and have been tossing, turning and rolling in bed for the past 32 days while my designer application floated out in space waiting for April 11. My body has already decided the stress from OFW was not the good kind that I can thrive on. Luckily today happens to be April 11th and I got an answer. A big, fat answer...
NO!
No, thank you, said the email. They received too many applications and from the gist of the verbage, they'd like to have people show who have made clothes before. So what does this mean?
It means I'm free to pursue my healthy, hot, soon-to-be baby-havin' self! And I can go full-force at the postition I'm clamoring for at work. Get this: one of the people I assist at work set up a shadowing day and I got to sit with a beautiful lady who works in that very position. For damn near 3 hours!!! I asked SO many questions and the department supervisor even came over to see us and I got to introduce myself and metnion I've applied for the open position. The gal I sat with has a young beautiful family so I even asked her about family needs vs. job needs and she only boosted my opinion of the job. She even made me more confident in my practically digitally-barren portfolio by mentioning how very valued hand drawing abilities are in the department.
So now I will resume making my future children's clothing and my wedding dress design at my own pace.
I'm so happy I could cry. Oh wait, I am crying...
Stumble it!

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you get the new, awesome sounding job!
Too bad about fashion week, but I'm sure it's such a weight off your shoulders at the same time. And now you can concentrate your energies on things that don't make you toss and turn quite so much!
I know exactly what you mean about feeling this way, because I've been there in the past. I'm glad you can let go of the stress and focus on the other important things in your life right now. It's important to always remember, as I know you are, that there is more than one way to pursue our dreams!
Very glad you were able to find a silver lining! I truly believe things happen not always when we want them to but when the time is right. It really sounds like things are falling into place for you right now :)
@Morgan thank you! I hope I get it too; all my positive thinking is going towards that!
@Heather, I love that. I believe I just will call whatever I do (that would be a profession), I do without permission. ;oP
HiLLjO - Fashion Designer without Permission. LOL!
@Stacie, I think they are, too! Even if it's not as I originally planned. I'm still verrrry happy with how things are going.
Oh boy, I am so crossing my fingers for the new job! Hope you will get it, darling!!!
Also, I love how wonderful you are and it seems that everything is going to work out beautifully, sweetie. Have a great day. Love you lots. xo
Glad you are seeing beauty in the road that's being carved! you are going to continue to be great at everything you do! hugs!
Stress isn't good for the baby! So this is really a blessing. All the best for the new position!
