kittydesadeAh, I see it's time to break out this icon again. Not that I actually mind the snow that much or even the cold, I think what I mind most is the uncertainty about whether or not I have work or capoeira and the diciness of traveling on mountain roads in snow and ice. My roads to and from work are relatively safe, but that's a shortass drive and everyone else's... heh. I am kind of surrounded by mountains.
I see it's also that time of year when I'm bathing in hand lotion every couple of hours. So that's fun.
And after all of that okay now I have drawing supplies and guitar books and everything and I don't need to spend much money for the next few months, of course now I am chafing at the bit to buy a new makeup thing. In this case, Fyrinnae's pixie potion because while I have adequate sparkly powder eyeshadow, I couldn't seem to make it go on properly. And apparently this will do it! Because it's not a primer, it's a glue, or something to that effect. That and I want a couple extra pencils and leads for drawing, so, argh. (And books, but I always want books, that's why I have a biweekly book budget instead of a monthly.)
Finally got started in the immunology lectures last night. I'd forgotten that this lady in particular is just not a very concise or direct lecturer. She rambles quite a bit, and as a result I'm having a hard time following the inheritance patterns of haplotypes for MHC and so on. I think I'll be able to get it if I diagram it out a few times and watch the lectures more than once? But argh. I'm not used to having to do that. Mustn't get frustrated and quit, though. This is fun stuff I'm enjoying learning. Just a frustrating manner.
(Equally frustrating is me forgetting about my Stitch Fix, so no pencils for me anytime soon, or no makeup, one of the two. I could dig into my savings but a) that'd take it below where I want it to be and b) oh god bad habit to get into. Stupid consumer culture getting its tentacles into my brain. Stupid credit card debt. Stupid dentist bills. Stupid a lot of things. Self, it will not kill you to wait a couple weeks to get either the pencils or the freaking makeup. Especially the makeup.)
Right. Anyway. Frustrations to the wayside. Things I want will sometimes have to make way for things I need, like regular dental cleanings. And other than that things aren't going that badly anyway. I'm fitting in all the things I want to do into the day, which is kind of amazing given all the things I want to do. My tests came back fine except for, predictably, my thyroid, which is mildly abnormal which wouldn't be a problem except for my family history of thyroid etc. And I've got books to write and classes to get through and so on, so I guess I'd better hop to that instead of staring glumly at my credit card balance any more than I already am. Oops.
