Welcome to T's short week! Sadly, Monday and Tuesday are not two of the short days. I'm sure it's going to be bugfuck, being the Monday after a long weekened. I'm not looking forward to it. I could use another hour of naptime, since Boodle kindly started waking me up at 4am. Little fucker. I rudely picked her up and put her off the bed, multiple times, because I was not ready to get up. Last I saw her, she was sulking over the 5am round wherne I nudged her off me yet again. I am a little bit yawn-y. Oh well. It'll improve soon.

Yesterday was a fun day. First up, we had game with coyotegestalt during which I inadvertently changed the entire course of the game, because DM's are chaos muppets every time. It may end up TPKing the party, but whatever, it was hilarious.

After a little while, I went to the pool for a little while and did some swimming. Of course, I realized while I was swimming that I forgot to wear sunscreen, so I cut that trip short, but it was still fun.

Then, we had some quiet time, and then I DMed for the homebrew. It went well, though we didn't get into it as far as we could have. It's a fairly large group, and the battle took a little longer than I'd planned on.

This week will be very busy. But first two days of normal work. Then the beat drops, and we get ready to go forth and get our ears blown out. (not really, we have earplugs.) I really love Ghost, but I'm not willing to lose hearing over them. But, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm just hoping there's no visa problems for the band. We'll see. We're going to take a sedan car down, because I don't feel like fighting traffic on he way down or the parking garage on the way out.

I got all my clothes and washed them, so I'm ready for Friday. I've got all my good stuff. A nice teal blouse, a pencil skirt, nice shoes, and some nice copper colored nail polish coming that will look striking against the shirt, and match the eye makeup I'm going to use. Fingers crossed that everything goes well.

And on that note,I'm going to hop off and get myself together, maybe lay down for another half hour. Everyone have the very best Monday!

I am not really awake yet this morning. It's almost 8, but it feels very early. I couldn't sleep any longer, but I kinda wish I could.

Yesterday was a mostly relaxed day, aside from a trip to Sam's Club. I want to make French Onion soup tonight, so I needed thyme and gruyere cheese.

I am very irritable this morning. I need my morning pills to kick in so that I can stand people. I should have gotten up earlier so I had some quiet time. Now I've got my sister, and I'm really not ready for that.

I've got to follow her over to take her car for an oil change, and I need to be less ready to scream by then. After that, we're going to be picking up our old cat's ashes. (He died like a decade ago, but we didn't have the funds to get him cremated, we did have an empty freezer.)

Then, we have all day to ourselves. We're going to grab lunch, and probably not do much else, though I'd like to get some dry sherry for the soup. Also for sugar cookies. We haven't decided on where we're going for lunch, so I should start thinking about that.

The noise continues, so we had to drive Yoda up to the school to do his business. I'm calling the office today, so hopefully it's something that they can fix.

We had a good game last night, and I had a lot of fun with it.

Short one today, since we need to take Yoda to the school and then go get the cat. Everyone have an excellent Saturday!

Last day of work for the week. Yesterday we put up the second half of our pantry unit, which is shelves. I'm slowly starting to move things over there, and figuring out where everything needs to go. I love feeling organized and having my counter space.

CONfab is virtual this year, and Programming submissions are open!!. If you have a panel you want to see or that you want to run, go put it in! I had a lot of fun with the con last year, and I'll almost certainly be DMing a one shot at some point during the weekend!

I saw an info graphic that July 2 is the halfway point of 2025. Which means that today we're closer to 2050 than 2000. I dried up like the crypt keeper and felt ancient for a while.

Last night, we had hot pot. I bought a hot pot container that has two compartments, and then went on Weee! and bough the meats to cook. It's super fun, and I highly recommend doing it. Grab a few sauces and go for it. Fair warning, wear a shirt you don't like, because shit will get dropped on it.

Then, we had a game, Blades in the Dark, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm tying in a little bit of backstory, which is alway fun. Tomorrow we have Frostmaiden, which will also be cool.

Sunday, I'm beginning a new game, which is always nervewracking. It's fully homebrew which is doubly nervewracking. I think it'll go well, but I always worry.

My new clothes for next week should come on Monday, but of course, the blazer that I wasn't even sure I wanted is coming today. The skirts and blouse are coming on Monday.

Okay, time to go forth and get myself together. Everyone have an amazing Thursday!

Yay, we survived Monday! I actually slept last night, which was nice. I had to get up to pee a couple of times, but not too bad. I know I slept hard, because I'm a little achy, which usually means that I didn't move much during the night.

Yesterday was a nice day. Work wasn't slammed (I'm assuming because of the holiday week) and I was able to fill in a pile of appointments. I also had some stupid patients who called to see if we had a cancellation for an MRI. Okay fair. We do get cancellations. But then, their insurance hadn't approved it yet, and it was a 150minute long appointment. We don't get those type of cancellations.

After that, we had Bonchon for dinner, because I really wanted fried chicken. It hit the spot.

It's funny, I spent so long thinking that I couldn't wear makeup, because it gave me a migraine, but it turns out that I can. I got tired of looking at the red blotches on my cheeks (never formally diagnosed, but probably rosacea, and a little bit of darker skin on my forehead. (Aging sucks.) So, I decided to give foundation a try. Problem was, then I looked dead. It needed some blush and lipstick. And if I'm doing all that, lets get those eyes to pop, since they disappeared behind my glasses.

Turns out, I love eyeshadow and eyeliner. I love playing with the colors. I need to get a palette with more colors, because right now, I have gold and purple with one blue. I want green and blues and oranges. I haven't tried mascara yet. I think the weight was what might have set off the migraines.

But add that to a Torrid padded plunge bra and I feel great. The hair, defintely helps too. It makes me love how I look, which is new. I haven't felt confident in my skin in a while. Its amazing how much a little bit of color helps. I said to Jess that I was annoyed that I looked amazing for the funeral, and it was wasted on their family. But on the other hand, I didn't feel like I was going to bring shame on my house.

I'm looking forward to the Ghost concert. I tested out some eyeliner. We got a black eyeliner pen with my sister's foundation order. She doesn't wear black, and gifted it to Jess. I tried it, with a gold eyeliner I got from my Ipsy bag. (Oh yeah, I signed up for that, too.) It looked pretty good, so I'm going to give it a try.

It's weird to have all this product. I need to get an organizer for our bathroom, so it's not just all laying out. I have a bag, but the one eyeshadow already cracked during travel, so I can't risk turning it upside down. Fortunately it wasn't one that I used a lot, but two of the others that I do use are loose, so I will be careful with it.

All in all, I'm really happy with it, and I'm enjoying experimenting.

And on that note, I shall go forth and get ready for work. Everyone have an amazing Tuesday!
