May. 24th, 2019 04:21 pmI've been reminded by a thing on tumblr that if I were a TV Trope it would be Extended Disarming, and the only thing that keeps me from being that person is knife laws. Which are grossly unfair, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to have an absurd number of fixed-blade less-than-four-inch knives on my person. Grump.
I reallocated some moneys for Memorial Day sales of makeup and clothes and am now set for DragonCon costumes for Gamora, Ghost Rider (except chain which I need to get at a hardware store or something), The Crow, Jessica Jones, and then biker!Raven and the butterfly dress for random backup costumes. I feel a little awkward about the whole thing, but I was going to spend the money anyway and this way I'm spending slightly less. And that means the rest of my paychecks after bills can get split evenly between DragonCon savings and extra down on my credit card. Yay? Sort of? Yay responsible adulthood? Something like that. (Plus some of these places have very long ship times due to being a one person operation.)
Things and stuff. I have once again spent another night not doing writing or guitar or edits and it's really starting to piss me off. Not that there's anything I can do about it because the more immediate and necessary parts of my life (day job, house maintenance) are the cause of the exhaustion, but I'm sulky and pissed off. Though today wasn't so bad at work, and this weekend, while I am doing extra hours this weekend Monday is a shipping holiday so I'll only be at work to help if there are Memorial Day tourist crowds, and it should be a quiet weekend of maybe getting things done? Catching up on things? I can hope? I can really really hope? I have projects I want to work on and get freaking done. Or even in process. In process would do. Aargh.
Deep breaths. I remembered to get the mallet out of the tool box at work so I can assemble my closet drawers and then bring it back tomorrow. I've still got assloads of things coming to me, and while I'm not paying my credit card down as much as I'd planned on account of too much buying, I'm also not spending as frivolously as I half wanted to out of sheer stress. Bookshelves ... I don't know, I want to say hopefully will be made in the next month or so but I've been saying that for a year, so maybe I'd better not. But things are going well, and if I can stay on a no buy new things fast for ... mmm, four months? I'll be in excellent shape. Bit over three months. Until DragonCon, is what I mean here, because a major perk of going to DragonCon is buying puppets and wands and geek toys.
