kittydesadeTired, maybe not in a way that sleep will fix, but tired nonetheless. Anxious about money because there's con expenses (maybe I just shouldn't go to DragonCon this year? Ugh.) and dentist expenses and chimney expenses even if the boy has a better paying job this year. Anxious in general, I think, it's just grabbing onto the money issues to find something to fuss about. No idea why. Irritating.
But, there. I've made the inquiry for the leather piece for the Nyssa Al Ghul costume, I've got the pieces for the Raven costume, I've got all of my costumes set for this year given that the other parts are going to be Abby (already well pulled together) and America Chavez (likewise) and maybe Cheetara again? Who knows. But I have many other costumes that are adequate. So that's that taken care of, I think those are the last big things until I get my bus ticket for DragonCon itself, and ... I have no idea about GenCon at this point. On the plus side, GenCon is not likely to be me spending much money so much as it is more likely to be me hanging out at the paint and take. Or listening to seminars, or hanging around with people. Are there going to be people? Come to think of it, do I want to go at this point. Will have to discuss with the boy.
(Having discussed with the boy when he got home, he's going to cancel GenCon too due to new job not being sure of time off-ness, so, um. Well, that makes that easier!)
Which still leaves the dentist appointment. Ugh. At least it's just a cleaning, but I also at some point need to schedule the fillings and ugh to that too. Just. Ugh all around. I don't want fillings. Or anything else like that. I do want to get back into my routines, which admittedly is sort of happening. Still tired of feeling tired, though. I don't know if it's the heat or if it's going back to work after a three day weekend of revelry and two days of recovering or what.
Saturday! Saturday was great. We got ourselves together and left for Dave and Busters around 11.30, tried to stop so the boy could have brunch somewhere along the way but the drive through line was ridiculous, at least six cars long, so we kept going and did the eat and play. And ate way too much because yummy food, and then went to play all of the throwing and punching and skee ball games. They has a couple new throw-the-ball-in-the-cup games that we didn't entirely suck at, I tried the football throwing game and actually managed to hit a target twice, which is better than I expected to do. AND. They had a Kung Fu Panda punch-the-target game with six targets? That I did really damn good at. Once I got the jackpot prize, actually that was the first time which gave me a false sense of ease, but after that I got within 1-2 dumplings (it was based on that scene where Master Shifu makes Po snatch the dumpling from his chopsticks) of the jackpot prize, so apparently I can at least do that fairly consistently. That was fun. I like arcade games where you get to hit things.
And after that we walked around Best Buy and Barnes and Nobles, I got probably more pop dolls than I should have if I'm going to be fussing over budget, and then we went to the Mongolian barbecue place. And all in all it was a pretty fun day. The next two days were spent slowly house cleaning and, well, mostly sleeping or reading or watching TV because recovering from a day trip out and a lot of punching things or throwing things at other things. I think the week, maybe the next two weeks, will also be spent slowly house cleaning and trying to get things back in order and get back into the good habits we were trying to get into before I got sick/my back tried to murder me.
(I feel like Habitica should have the option to have a dailies list in two modes: optimal and sub-optimal. And optimal is "DO ALL OF THESE THINGS" and sub-optimal is "These are the essential things you must do" and then there's the Inn for when you are completely flat. Or maybe that's too complicated for the programming.)
Anyway. Um. Stuff. Things. Hands. The internet is pissing me off today, thanks to the Captain America thing and people falsely comparing that in equivalency to the Ghostbusters misogyny backlash. Thanks, dude. I really enjoy being told how to fandom. (No I don't. Fuckoff.) What else. Costumes taken care of, dentist taken care of. All that's left is for me to get my tired ass back into shape for DragonCon (Three months away totally doable) and get back to work.
