kittydesadeSomehow I'm okay with me feeling crappy enough because of a head cold to take NyQuil to go to sleep, but the minute the boy wants some because he's caught my head cold I freak out because omg covid.
It's probably not covid. He probably has my head cold that I had most of last week, and now he's stumbling around with a face full of sinus pressure, poor bastard. I suppose the good side is he's still on work-enforced paid isolation, so he has time to rest. We stocked up on NyQuil, we've got a good stock of DayQuil, I'm doing better so I can cook plenty of nicely spicy foods to clear out his sinuses and give him nutrients at the same time, and our oxygen levels and temperatures are both normal. I can't say I'm not edgy about him having recently been exposed, but I feel pretty good saying this ain't the plague.
I'm just so tired of this. And when we went out today to stock up on NyQuil there were so goddamn many people at restaurants and flea markets and gathering in clusters in places they didn't have to be. This winter is going to be so brutal and it didn't have to be if people would just fucking stay out of the bars, the restaurants, the rest of it. I get, though I don't agree, the emotional calculus of making family visits. I get being forced to go to work because otherwise you lose your home. I don't get the couple hundred people I saw shopping at a fucking flea market or sitting in the goddamn restaurants I saw today.
History is either repeating itself or rhyming and I am not best pleased.
Whatever.
I've been playing around with false lashes for the last couple of weeks and not only am I happy with my semi-mastery of false lashes I am in love with the effect they create and I want all of them. Give me all of them. I'm also testing out some new primers and some new foundations and at some point need to actually write all this crap down, but I'm loving the Tatcha Liquid Silk Primer which is annoying because it's one of the expensive bougie ones. It's not as bad as it could be because I think the last couple of times I've used it I've been OVERusing it, I think I need just the tiniest amount. And then after that a tinier amount of foundation I've been using, for the same amount of coverage. There's going to be a lot of experiments with different primers and concealers and foundations to figure out how I'm doing this. But it's fun. And I'd let a lot of the playing with makeup slide over the last several months.
I finally got around to cleaning up the portion of my office that was cluttered in front of all my watercolor papers and postcards and things, so I can get that together and start sending out mail, hopefully just in time for the combination of lockdowns and winter. Should have happened last weekend but last week I think maybe starting from the weekend was a bit fraught with head cold stuff.
And I finally have yoga blocks again to start doing yoga with props (the cats destroyed the last set; I'll be more careful with this set) and resistance bands to do some knee exercises. Because I'm pretty thoroughly tired of my left knee giving out on me, and I'm pretty sure it's fixable or compensatable by strengthening the muscles around the knee. I got the cord type rather than the strap type because I've had bad luck with the strap types snapping on me, we'll see how this goes.
