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 been a somewhat meh day. Nightmares last night, followed by waking up with a sinus migraine this morning. That, plus frustrating and un-fun news relating to the ongoing job hunt means I am vaguely cranky.

But! I have two cats asleep on my feet (well, I DID, but the Stroppy One came downstairs, which means Tzepesh is going to abandon me to go be with His Human), we're going to one of my favorite local places for dinner, and I've been idly window-shopping for stripy blazers. (Yes, again.)

There's this one from Ebay UK, but even my love for stripy clothing cannot blind me to the fact that it looks ... oddly constructed.

Oooh, or there's a pink and black striped (!!!) blazer from Ebay US ... except that it's a size small AND it's the wrong shade of pink. (It is. That is more fuchsia/hot pink, and my preferred shade is cupcake pink.)

And then there's this black & white striped blazer, but sadly, it's a size medium, and I'd need at least a size large from that designer.

Do I NEED a(nother) stripy blazer? Oh, probably not. But it's fun to look.

Tomorrow will be better, yes it will. But for now, idle window shopping.
