kittydesadeDid not go to sleep as early as I meant to last night, mostly because of being stubborn to do everything I meant to do, and slept in this morning? And still sleepy-tired. Meh. I mean on the plus side I did capoeira and everything I meant to do? And on the minus side oh god sleepy. Meant to get some writing done this morning before work and that's totally not going to happen.
It probably doesn't help that capoeira was far harder than I expected, not just because out of shape but I think also because still recovering from whatever plague I had that seems to have socked me way harder than feels warranted from the relative lack of symptoms. I skipped out on movement practice part one, did some routines as much as I could manage, and then we did movement practice with a chair that I did about half of what everyone else did (although a little bit of everything so I could learn it at least) and still ended up panting and sweaty and aching today. Ugh.
Today's dither, well, today and yesterday's dither over do I shop or do I put it off for birthday monies is Sock Dreams and Lush Cosmetics. Both have things I need, sock glue less and silky underwear powder more, and both items are cheap enough that it feels stupid to order them singly. But the sock glue I only need if I'm going to wear skirts, of which I only have ... one? Two? I think just two that are short enough to do the skirt-abovetheknee sock-boots combo, and I don't think there's anything else Sock Dreams has that I really need. (I kind of mean to get more skirts along those lines too, to try and expand my wardrobe some, but that's a whole other budget thing of oh god then I have to buy three or four skirts and spend money and augh.) And then there's the silky underwear powder which, okay, I can get that and BUT I don't want to get it until I've toned up again some more (see also: a week to ten days not feeling up to my usual intensity of physical activity) and can therefore fit into my skinny jeans without looking like 16 ounces of dough in an 8 ounce tube. Which sounds somewhat harsher on myself than I mean to be, I just. Skinny jeans, man. And it's kind of silly, because I love these jeans, I will wear them, I'm getting back to normal activity levels, thus will be toning up again and maybe even further, and then I will need the powder in, what, a week? two? And yet. Probably this is a "I'm unshapely therefore I don't deserve nice things" issue but argh.
Other, happier things though. I moved some of my old wooden boxes to my new shelf which, other than my shadows and one book, is empty. And went through one of them, the only one that had jewelry things, and found a bunch of old earrings and necklaces I'd missed, and one pair of earrings that had a broken one, and mended it this morning! And since I had the pliers out I also mended one of my ring armors. Now I just need to finish putting stuff away and give some things a good polish, oy. And I managed to put some flowers into the various flower pots. I think I even managed to remember which ones went in which.
JetPens order came, so now I have a spare set of drawing pencils since inexplicably despite the frillions of pens and pencils we have, we do not have any metal body mechanical pencils of the size that my drawing leads are in. Well, we had one. I have five types of lead. So, yeah, new pencils, I have more than enough spare erasers to cover two kits, and now I can do sketching in my bed as I'm slowly waking up, too.
And. And! I wore the mended bra all day yesterday and it felt and fit perfectly like any other bra! So, now I know that if my underwire wears through the casing and starts trying to murder me like a Senator on the Ides of March I can sew on a bit of kidskin at the end and it'll be fine! And now you know this too. I chose kidskin because it seemed more durable than whatever cotton? material they used for the casing and because I have a shitpile of it lying around from the store (we take in leather scrap, and for a while we were getting a lot of kidskin, calfskin, the thin stuff). So. Yay there!
And I'm almost done testing the More Human Than Human shadows from Aromaleigh and I think I have only two, three fulls I want so far? Out of seven. And then ... and then. Something. I'm not sure. So many small things to do so little time, but at least I'm on top of just about everything except sleep.
