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.

Things have been stressful around our house for the past few days. So I'm really not surprised that I am suffering a horrible, stabbing headache. But OH G-D, I WANT IT TO STOP.

Please send decorative people (preferably gothy rocker boys in eyeliner) bearing coffee, cupcakes, and pain meds.

I always forget: one of the things I do when I'm stressed is think about doing something to my hair. I want to bleach some white streaks at the temples. Narrow ones, but still. It would involve hair color remover and bleach, two things I should probably avoid.

Yes, I could just get white-blonde micro-ring extensions and put them in. Maybe I'll even do that.

Randomly, here, have a picture of part of my current workspace. I have created a little writing nook for myself in the Library, with a comfy chair and appropriate decor.

You know what I really ~~need~~ want? A LJ icon of a laudanum bottle lable. One where you can read the word "laudanum". That would be really funny, and useful.

(This post brought to you by a week that has been somewhat stressful, with bonus wacky health issues. Nothing dire or end-of-the-world, but stressful. Next week will be better.)

- Today is yet ANOTHER day of sinus migraine, thanks to our freaky weather patterns. I'm sure my stress level isn't helping it, either. But wow, trepanation sounds really, really attractive right now.

- Tomorrow is the memorial for Mom. The info (with directions!) is here: http://pics.livejournal.com/cupcake_goth/pic/0015dd54 .

- I have amazing, amazing friends. I know I say that a lot, but it's true. I would not have made it through these past few months without them. I love you.

Dear Subconscious,

If you could NOT give me the stress dreams where I'm stuck working back at Fred Meyer, that would be swell. If you must give me stress dreams, could we go back to the old standby of the critters from Aliens attacking the WotC offices? You know, the one where I have a pulse rifle? Or how about the recurring stress dream where the zombie apocalypse is happening? Hell, even the stress dream about the zombie apocalypse wherein the Stroppy One has been bitten and is telling me I have to get away from him right now would actually be better than the stuck-working-at-Fred-Meyer one.

Thanks ever so,

Cupcake Goth

Yeah. I slept soundly last night, but the dreams were not what you could call fun.

Dear Self,

You are going on vacation tomorrow, yay! But that means that there are eight zillion things, all Priority 1, that you have to take care of at work, and thus do not have time to look at LJ. No, not even when you're eating your lunch. And to remind you of this, The Universe will make sure that people on your Friends List post using spider icons that cause you to recoil from your monitor in terror.

Get back to work.

No Love,

Your Brain

Drilling a hole in my skull would be BAD. I know this.
