- The work trip to Ottawa was really good. Incredibly useful, solved some problems, all that good stuff. Of course, it's also left me kind of exhausted, since my body clock was in freefall the entire time. I was getting up at ... 3:30AM in my normal time zone? Yeah. Needless to say, I'm still tired, and I got home last Sunday. I mean, I know that it's because I'm paying for all the reserves I burned to get through the week (I warded off most of a migraine during the week through willpower and copious amounts of caffeine), but still. I wish I bounced back from this stuff faster.
- Which means I have been utterly unavailable to help some friends of mine with things. Ugh. Trying not to let the brain raccoons devour me over that.
- I got some very promising news about a project of mine! Aaaaaand that's all I'm saying, because of my weird superstitions. As soon as I have solid news to share (in a few months, please, dear Powers That Be), I'll be shouting it from the darkened rooftops.
- Vampire Ball is in a few weeks! Time to dress up and flounce around! And between my dress, jewelry, and hat, I will be VERY SPARKLY. Muah-ha-ha.
- Thanks to my various browsings on Etsy, eBay, and Amazon, I am (yet again) coveting lots of flowing lace skirts, ruffled blouses, and lace capelets. I know I don't NEED any more of any of those things, but I wants them.
- Speaking of yet-again-coveting, with a side of dammit, I owned it two decades ago: remember the princess-seamed lace dresses from Dawn Joy? The ones with the high-collar keyhole neckline? Like this one? I'm on a quest for one in black, size 14. You know, just like I used to have, back in 1999. ::rolls eyes at self::
(Confession time: I have one in ivory, but a) I like ivory dresses, and b) it's polyester, so it won't dye.)
