Two more weeks until the show and I couldn't be any more stressful. We had 6 more dresses that had to be made. I looked at the time to see that it was 1 pm. I had to stop at the venue to check out the flooring. Ricky texted me earlier to tell me that it was finished and that all I had to do was call my set designer and get them there. "Can I make a suggestion? April asked me while she steamed the dresses. "Yes," I said in the middle of typing a massive email. "I think you're biting off more than you can chew and this is not me telling you what to do. I just don't see us getting 6 more dresses done. There's still rehearsal, plus time in the shop, plus our personal lives" she said. I rubbed my temples "I know, Erica was telling me not to sign up this year and do it the following year but I couldn't wait" I sighed. "I know a factory that makes clothes Josie all we have to do is give them the designs and it'll probably be made in a few hours," she said

"Mmmmm, you know how I feel about that," I said. "I understand, you just look burnt out," she said. "April we got this okay, you me we got this. If I have to temporarily hire two more seamstresses that's what I'll do" I said. We had 34 dresses, it was no point of stopping now. I appreciate April she's the best employee ever. She's multi-talented and keeps my shop afloat when I'm super busy. "I'll be gone for about an hour in a half. I ordered lunch for you guys, it should be on its way" I said.

"You want me to put an Ad out on craigslist for help? She asked. "No, I got it" I turned around going back upstairs to see Breland help a woman with her dress. Times like this I wish I could engage with my customers, that's something I always do but I didn't have time. "Going to the venue? Nicole asked. "You know it," I said grabbing my keys. "We'll be here holding the fort down," Nicole said typing away on the computer. "Thanks, Nicole, I love you all," I said before walking out. I unlocked my car door getting in. I called my dad to check on him he's been sick, I'm grateful he moved and found a girlfriend named Ms. Leanne she's been helping me a lot so that's helped a lot with my stress. I waited for him to answer sitting in traffic. "H-hello" it wasn't my father's voice instead it was his girlfriend

"Hi, Ms. Lee"

"Hey Josie, how are you? She asked. I sighed "Working," I said. She laughed "We know that superwoman... your father is resting. He hasn't been feeling well lately just a bad month" she said. I sighed "How bad? I asked. "Coughing up a lot of blood, I took him to the doctors today and you know he didn't want to get you or Morgan worked up," she said. "Uhh, why wouldn't he tell me? So what if I get worked up
