I am working at home today, thanks to the wonders of a smart card and remote access privileges. I am VERY VERY GLAD I have these things, as I feel very fuzzy and unwell. (I'll be over it by tomorrow, it's just that my period is being particularly unpleasant this month.) But this means I can edit while being flopped on the couch with the cats, thank goodness.

Since I AM working at home and feeling unwell, there will be no SFD photos. You are all wonderful people, but I am not presenting you with a photo of me in stripy pj pants, a "fangbanger" t-shirt, a Bat's Day hoodie, and bunny slippers. Sorry, you will just have to use your imagination.

Last night I DID get writing done, and the next GCS column is off to the beta readers. Yay! Speaking of GCS, I have a question: It has been suggested to me that I start cross-posting my assorted fashion (and possibly book) reviews that I post here on LJ over to GCS, in their own section. I am intrigued by this idea, but the writing style for GCS is rather different than how I write over here in LJ-Land. But doing this would certainly give me a quick way to keep a tiny bit of new content on Gothic Charm School in between the advice columns. What do you folks think of the idea?

Okay, more tea and editing. And ibuprofen.

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.

I feel wretched. And yet, I'm still going to try and edit a few topics, because I managed to get a connection to the corpnet on the first try.

Ugh. As soon as I have enough energy, I'm going to get up and brew myself some more tea. Any minute now.

I am not getting sick.

I am not. I just feel tired and under the weather from spending two days working in a room that has very messed up air conditioning and is colder than the outside. I am NOT getting sick. I have too much to do this weekend to spend any of it feeling unwell.

My boss, because he is awesome, gave all of us that were affected by the office ice age permission to work from home tomorrow. Which means I can sleep in a little bit, drink lots of hot tea, and maybe have chips and salsa.

Not getting sick.

Thing the First: as far as I know, I still have a job, and am not in danger of that changing. But let's just say the morale around here is not the best that it could be.

Thing the Second: There's other stuff that's making my day not very fun. I can't really talk about it here, but let's just say that I am not having the Best Day Ever.

Thing the Third: Hello, stress-induced craving for cupcakes and booze! How are you? Overwhelming, you say? Swell. Just ... swell.

(I will not go to the cafeteria or vending machines, I will not.)

So, some good things:

- I'm not getting sick! My feelings of unwellness were probably directly tied to the awful air quality of the past few days.

- I am wearing a dark dark wine velvet blazer, that I created by soaking a spare red velvet blazer in a dye bath of black RIT. (For once, RIT's inability to give a true black color worked to my advantage.) So my coveting of a new jacket was solved without spending money.

- Tickets for the Vampire Ball are on sale! An event to look forward to!

But I need more happy stuff for distraction. This is where I turn to you people. Tell me happy things!

Good:

- Had a very nice weekend, including finding a great jacket and a dress at Thriftko.

- Just sent off Important Documents, which means that a project of mine is moving forward. (Yay!)

- Received squee-inducing email about an event in May. (omg! omg! squeeeeeee!)

- Had a very interesting tarot reading done for me by

caliban1227

- Went to Vampire Kisses at Blacklight last night for a little bit, and had a lovely time. The new space is very inviting, and it was oh-so-nice to go out dancing again, even if it was for a very short time.

Bad:

- Hormones and some other stuff have conspired to make me feel absolutely dreadful: headache-y, dizzy, and like my brain has been replaced with cold oatmeal. I would be happier about feeling this unwell if I had done something fun and foolish to cause this like, oh, had boozy treats at Blacklight last night, but no. I stuck with water and got a decent amount of sleep, but feel like the walking dead. The not-fun type of walking dead, that is, with the lack of brain and the shambling and the unable to say anything coherent.

- Which means I'm using a sick day, because I would have been completely useless at work today.

- And I'm not making it to S&B tonight, just in case all of this isn't due to hormones, but are symptoms of something ooky and contagious.

- Because I feel so spectacularly blah and wonky, I don't have the brainpower or coordination to work on any projects. Flopping on the couch it is, then.

When real things happen to imaginary people

Thank goodness for remote access, I tell you what.

Bleah. Woogle. Tell me good things?

Well, that didn't work.

No.

Stuff. Things. Distract me with happy stuff?

Good. Bad.
