P365 Day 170: Finally making progress

I'm making progress on jewelry presents! I finished six pieces today (though only five required any effort), including two bracelets, three necklaces and one pair of earrings. I still have a few things I can make, but I'm reaching a stalemate: I need a certain type of sterling chain and Hobby Lobby — the one two and a half hours away — was out of stock when I went earlier this week. Guess I'll have to wait until I get to the Hobby Lobby in Memphis to stock up.

And I might have some extra funds with which to go shopping — I received a letter from my doctor's office that I have $132 in unclaimed funds that will be turned over to the state if I don't call their office by Dec. 31. (WTF?) Not sure how that happened, but I'm certainly not complaining. Funds are still tight around here — I mean, I'm still unemployed and everything — but maybe I'll have enough to go to Sephora for some lipstick.

So the agenda for tomorrow is to keep working on little jewelry things, call the doctor's office, and line up a new pet sitter for while we're in Memphis (our old pet sitter moved to Oregon). Oh, and wrap presents. That's going to be a challenge because some of the presents I bought have hooks and corners and angles and other features that wrapping paper wasn't meant to handle. I guess the easy way out would be to buy gift bags, but where's the fun in that?
