Today was not great. Tired, super-busy at work, general crankiness, and becoming dissatisfied with what I was wearing (thus causing the Body Image Demons to reunite for a reunion tour, ugh).

This morning, when coffee was my only friend:

Later this afternoon, when it became obvious that the day wasn't going to get any better:

(Oh look, UD's 24/7 eyeliner smudges on me. Hmmph, I am unimpressed.)

But now I'm home, I had tasty food that the Stroppy One made, I have gotten through a stressful phone call, and now I'm going to relax by reading fic. And then maybe an early bath. Tomorrow WILL be better. If for no other reason than there will be cupcakes at one of the meetings I'm scheduled for.

Today has not been a good day. It is a Monday disguised in Tuesday's clothing.

"if I wake in the morning, I only need two more miracles to be a saint".* Also, I am dressed appropriately for running away to join a circus, and don’t think I’m not tempted to right now.**

*Yes, I am resorting to gratuitous song lyrics. Also, there are what, maybe six of you reading this who know what song that’s from? My bandom playlist is sanity-saving right now, which is a mildly terrifying notion if you stop and think about it. I have a tag that says "Pete Wentz is not a role model of mental health" for a REASON.

**Or, to put it another way: I told the StuntHusband that I was having the sort of day that makes me want to channel Skarrin, his old Camarilla character. IT IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO EMULATE SKARRIN. Never.

This whole week has been bad. Just ... gnnng. Bad, and I'm hoping next week is better. (It should be, what with The Damned concert and going to PDX for the My Summer As A Goth Halloween movie party on Friday.)

But! Hey look! Aromaleigh is re-launching! http://aromaleighv2.wordpress.com/

"Aromaleigh’s founder, Kristen Leigh Bell, will be acting as the Creative Director, and Director of Product Formulation for the new Aromaleigh. With all the amazing, improved pigments and ingredients that are available now, the opportunity to work for Aromaleigh in this capacity is very exciting!"

I'm hoping the new people behind it bring back Porcelaine finishing powder and the Voile and Glissade powder foundations. Because while I have a stockpile of Glissade in both shades I liked (L1 and OO), it would be reassuring to know that they exist beyond my cache.

I am having a bad day. For a variety of reasons.

Today's administering of sub-q fluids to Tzepesh was not as smooth or easy as yesterday's, and he hasn't eaten since Tuesday. We are going back to the vet today.

Also, the Stroppy One is feeling decidedly under the weather, I've had a combination of a stress and sinus headache for three days, and I can't concentrate enough on anything to work on the writing that NEEDS to be done.

I would like a do-over of this year, thanks. I would also like to curl up, take a very long nap, and have someone gently wake me with a tray of scones, tea, and maybe some storybooks they would read to me. Alternately, I would like to be transformed into a vampire and go on a killing spree. Either option is fine with me.

Tell me cheering things?

Let's see, my subconscious decided to torture me with upsetting dreams, I couldn't wake up this morning, traffic was well and truly dire on the way to work, and today is the one-year anniversary of my being laid off from my full-time job at the Giant Software Company.

I'm hoping the rest of the day markedly improves.

Hello horrible sinus migraine, I didn't invite you. Today is now about working from home, drinking lots of tea, and thinking longingly of drilling a hole in my skull to release the pressure and/or the sinus demons.

Of course, the final rancid sprinkles on the top of this crankycake is that I'm having a(nother, because yesterday wasn't that great, either) bad brain chemistry day, and the Monsters of Low Self-Esteem and warming up for a comeback performance. I'm doing my damnedest to ignore them, but you people telling me good things or giving me clicky-links of distraction would be lovely, too.

Last night, in the process of trimming Ruthven's back claws, one of them was cut to the quick. That was a LOT of blood, which freaked me and the Stroppy One out. Plus, y'know, feeling like THE WORST CAT MOM EVER. After much Googling, we put some cornstarch on the cut, and that helped stop the bleeding. But between the freaking out and the crying (see previous, WORST CAT MOM EVER), I figured working from home today was a good plan. Which, it was. I'm being productive, AND I can keep an eye on Ruthven. Who, it should be noted, is frisking and scampering around just like always, thank goodness.

So yeah, crying hangover. Ugh. Plus other cryptic, nebulous stuff that is going on. Which means I'm going to try and concentrate on good things now, in an attempt to reboot my mood.

-

julzerator gave me a paperweight with a tiny brown bat encased in it! He is the cutest thing ever, and his name is George.

- My dress for the Vampire Ball is DONE! (Except for the buttons.) And it is AWESOME. The Infamous BlueJay outdid herself, once again.

- The Infamous BlueJay also brought over homemade chocolate-hazelnut shortbread cookies. So, so tasty!

- The Vampire Ball is on SATURDAY! Fancy event! People in pretty clothes! Seeing friends! Oh, I can't wait.

... okay, that's what I've got so far. What good things are going on with you peoples?

Last night ended up being, due to a handful of reasons, a Very Not Good Night. As a result, I am feeling pretty wrecked today. To forestall worried questions, things are fine, really they are. But I have that post-crying hangover feeling, and feel a bit emotionally tender.

So! My outfit today includes the pink & black Bunnicula skirt of Great Emotional Comfort, and I am going to spend the day switching between listening to the Sepiachord Field Guide and playlists

staxxy made for me.

The other thing I do when I feel a bit raw and tender around the edges of my psyche? Turn to you people, of course, and ask you to tell me good things. Something nifty happened in your world recently? Please tell me! Have pictures of adorable critters? Give me links! Discovered a shiny thing or a band you think I should know about? Tell me!

Now to drink tea, nibble on a scone, and edit some documentation.

Today is not a very good day, mostly because of PMS. I feel kind of blarg-ish and sickly, I have no focus, and feel like my brain has been replaced with Jello-soaked cotton wool. Which, considering I've got things I need to be working on, is Not Helpful.

(An example: I was creating a basic html template page for the Stroppy One for a project ... and it wouldn't work. Every time I tried to view the page, it would just show me the source code. After a bit of a temper tantrum, I finally double-checked something. I thought I had told TextEdit to save everything as plain text, but apparently it didn't. Once I fixed that, everything worked just fine. It just took me FAR TOO LONG to figure that out.)

So anyway, I am going to consider today a Day Off. I am going to read, eat some more of the fabulous dark chocolate cake with toasted hazelnuts and brandied cherries that BlueJay brought me last night, and try not to fret about the writing I should be doing.

Oh, and I wanted to show off a picture! A while ago, I gave into vanity and commissioned a picture of the Lady of the Manners (well, yes, me) by an artist I admire. Here's the result:

It's eventually going to go up on the Gothic Charm School site. I am absolutely delighted with it. Thank you, Blayne Ward!

Today has, for a variety of reasons, been a fairly awful and unpleasant day. Unexpected and expensive dental work (with a follow-up visit in two weeks), and some other stuff. Let's just say that while today was not the Worst Day Ever, it was not a good day for our household.

But! I just listened to my voicemail, and the ever-fabulous

poetry_lady left a message with info about a possible job lead. So that is a good start for improvement.

Tomorrow will be better, right? Yes, I'm asking for reassurance. Or distraction. Both, really. Dear Powers That Be, I am best suited for living life as an independently-wealthy eccentric. Please make that happen VERY SOON, okay?

When real things happen to imaginary people

Monday disguised as a Tuesday

Goth at the Office: one of those days

Things, and shallow makeup update

Ugh.

Ugh. No clever title

Ugh

So, that happened.

Bleah. Woogle. Tell me good things?

Meh.

Dear LJ, today has not been a great day
