Working on having a better day, dammit

I was very productive last night, and even convinced myself to do 40 minutes on the exercise bike. (The trick, apparently, is to bribe myself with watching part of Life on the Murder Scene (the "Revenge"-era MCR documentary) while pedaling. Shut up, I own my fangirlish ways.)

This morning, I posted a new Gothic Charm School, applied extra-sparkly eye makeup, and while applying my eyeliner decided that to really make today better than yesterday, I needed to wear one of my favorite outfits, not the outfit I had set out last night.

(The Goth at the Office photo will happen later.)

Now I focus on work stuff, and listen to the bandom playlist to remind myself that no matter how bad I felt yesterday, I am more emotionally stable than Pete Wentz. (That's a very comforting thing to remind myself, sometimes.)

Goth at the Office: stripes and a better mood

Some days, you need to wear some favorite items to make SURE you aren't cranky for the entire day.

Also, I desperately want ALL THE CAFFEINE today. I'm not going to have it, because I have early meetings tomorrow and thus must go to bed early. But my goodness, I want more coffee. MOAR COFFEE.
