Huh, I guess it's been a while since I've posted. Things are :: tired jazz hands :: yeah. I, like everyone else, am overwhelmed with the state of the world. I keep having to remind folks on my team that WE DO NOT DISCUSS POLITICS AT WORK OMG.
The state of the world, of course, is causing our house to be a vortex of levels of depression and executive disfunction, because who can focus on anything? I'm doing better than the Stroppy One, but only because I'm pretty much forcing myself to for day job reasons. I should probably take a mental health day soon or something.

Soooo there's something weird going on with our gas tankless water heater. The taps give hot water everywhere BUT the master bath, and we don't know why. Well, they give a few minutes of warm-to-tepid water then cycle back to cold. This means I've been having short showers instead of baths and I am VERY CRANKY about that. The Stroppy One is calling a plumber in the next few days.

Good things! I have plunked down a ridiculous amount of money to attend Emerald City Comic Con in March. The reason it's a ridiculous amount of money is because Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy are guests, so I have treated myself to two different photo shoots with the two of them together and an autograph session. And a bunch of Fannibals will be there, so I'll get to hang out with a bunch of my fandom peeps!
I got my nails done yesterday - dip powder (a form of acrylic) over forms for length and shape - and it is possibly the MOST cupcake goth manicure ever. I think this will become my standard manicure.

The no baths thing is something i am DYING FROM right now. Like OMG. I can't bathe until the abscess site is completely healed. No submerging my navel AT ALL until them. It's been 6 weeks since I had a bath. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
yes, that is definitely the perfect manicure for you. ALTHOUGH, I can see you getting sparkly stones on it, or black glitter in the tips mix. Or maybe add white stripes to the pink. Or little bats. I dunno... options. Its a great base to build from or just leave as is.

I've been out of the loop somewhat and am now debating whether to go to ComicCon. I'd love to get Hugh's and Gina's autographs on my Hannibal Cookbook, but I'd only be able to go Saturday, though. Looking at the number of high profile guests there, it seems like it will be enormous and chaotic. I'd probably spend at least half the day in the autograph lines, since there are no set session times, just 'while at table' and I'm wondering if the cost and the stress would be worth it....
