It's not that I’m not sleeping, because I AM; it’s just that it’s at hours completely alien to my regular body clock, so everything feels disconnected and off-kilter. While it would probably be helpful to suddenly become a morning person, doing so at the price of reality feeling kind of jello-like is not a trade-off I'm willing to make.

I HAVE BEEN AWAKE FOR THREE HOURS. RIGHT NOW IT IS 9AM. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR ME.

(Okay, I went to bed at 9:30 last night, and fell asleep sometime after 10. Like I said, I am sleeping. Just … weirdly.)

Not only have I broken up with linear time, I kinda think I want to throw all their things out on the street.

Good:

- The Stroppy One is home! Yaaaaay!
- This means I actually slept soundly last night!

Bad:

- One night of not-uneasy sleep has made me aware of just how tired I am.

Also, I leave for the Copenhagen office on Friday, and will be gone a week. More timezone and sleep deprivation hijinks, whee?

It is particularly frustrating that I went to bed at a "decent" time last night AND took sleeping meds, and yet feel like my sleep was wholly defective. Enough so that I am taking advantage of the ability to work from home today. I know I'll be more productive at home than I would be at the office, and if I need to go take a nap, I CAN.

[livejournal.com profile] torreybird is a genius. I already knew that, but yesterday she helped me figure out the solution to my "What am I wearing on my head?" and "What jewelry?" dilemmas for Vampire Ball. Yay! (There will be photos AFTER the event. No, no pictures before. Yes, I know, I'm silly.)

Also for Vampire Ball, tonight I have another fitting for my outfit, which also means I get to spend time around the Infamous BlueJay, which is always a good time.

(Note to Self: decide which boots you are wearing to the Vampire Ball.)

Okay, back to editing documentation bugs. And more tea, ohgoodnessyes.
I slept for almost 12 hours, and it was glorious. No so fun were the hallucinations when I got up to toddle off to the bathroom; from what I remember, the room was swaying, the dresser drawers were opening and closing while laughing, and my skirts kept flocking together and whispering above my head. This is what Ambien occasionally does to me. Thank goodness the Stroppy One made me close my eyes and walked me back to bed. Which I have only vague recollections of.

(I took the Ambien to make sure that I fell asleep. I have had too many experiences of being falling-over tired, and yet not being able to sleep. I didn't want to have the slightest risk of that last night, obviously.)

Job interview today! For a 3-month contract back at the Very Large Software Company. So, not the best possible thing ever, but hey, gainful employment sounds attractive. Very attractive.

Ooooh, dolls. Specifically, the Evangeline Ghastly doll from Wilde Imagination (yes yes, clicky-link!). I do not need that sort of hobby, I cannot afford that sort of hobby. But I occasionally go look at the website and stare at the pretty pretty doll and her astonishing wardrobe. And covet. Oh, the coveting.

(Okay, fine, I also send clicky-links of certain outfits to the Infamous BlueJay, asking if they can be made in Cupcake Goth -scale. What? That can't be a surprise to you.)

I like dolls, and doll miniatures. Really, if I were an independently wealthy eccentric (instead of a job-hunting eccentric), I would have a collection of pretty dolls and accessories, and yes, do photo stories with them. Because I am that sort of person.

(And from the other room, I can hear [livejournal.com profile] clovisdvlbunny clamoring about updating his journal, because [livejournal.com profile] marc17 took good photos of cute bunny, cute bunny must show them off! Yes, Clovis. Soon.)

Okay, off I go to make more tea, and start getting ready for the job interview. Must stop looking at photos of dolls.
The reading at the Bellevue Library was a lot of fun! Thank you to everyone who attended, it was lovely to see you there. Lisa the organizer recorded an audio interview with me before the event, and when that is available on the library website, I'll link to it.

Hey, speaking of links! Remember how I posted on Saturday night that I was going to be on QueenieTV on ustream.com? 73 minutes of giggling and general hijinks, featuring [livejournal.com profile] queeniex and myself, can be viewed right here. (clicky-link!) I adore Queenie to bits, and wish we could hang out more often.

I slept in today. I slept for something like 11 hours, and it was GLORIOUS. Today is going to be filled with exciting things like laundry, and reassuring the cats I still love them. In other words, a muchly-needed low-key day.

Here, have two pictures from the book tour. Oooh, and if you have photos, please send them to me!
