Good Things, Bad Things

[cupcake_goth]

Bad: the weather. (It's my journal and I'll whine about it if I want, thankyouverymuch.) When the temperature goes above 80, I get very, very cranky. Beyond cranky, actually. Seething and wanting to snarl at everyone and everything is more than cranky, right? Thank goodness the office is air-conditioned.

Bad: the work deadline. 102 topics assigned to me for their first edit pass. Oh, and the server that all our content lives on (and all the editing tools call) is being difficult.

Bad: there is a particular bit of e-mail I'm waiting for, and it's making me twitchy. ::pokes mail server again::

Good: the new sleep meds my doctor is having me try are The Best Things Ever, and I feel better-rested than I have in months.

Good: I have officially lost 30lbs. The scale has said 170.6 for 3 days now. Yaaaay!

• Black satin ballet flats


• Knee-length pink cotton bloomers with black lace trim


• Pink organdy petticoat


• Knee-length black skirt with three rows of ruffles at the hem


• Black cotton frock coat


• Pink & black choker with a locket (that holds a photo of Dread Beast)


• Hair pulled up under my usual top hat (now with added pink ribbons and feathers, and a pink silk rose on the back)


• Wrist-length black lace gloves; the only rings I'm wearing are my wedding & engagement rings (when the weather gets this hot, I can't wear all my rings)


• Make-up: a light dusting of Alima mineral foundation (over SPF60), pale shimmery white eyeshadow with deep pink in the crease, black liquid liner & mascara, and NARS liquid-to-matte lipcolor in Chandernagor (which is pretty much the color of Bing cherries)

Okay, back to slogging through the editing ...
