I slept pretty late today, not waking up til after dark... well, I woke up in the half-light with the N-cat curled tightly into the backs of my knees, but I went back to sleep for some time. When I woke up, it was around 7PM, which is just an acceptable amount of sleep, nothing fantastic. I don't think I went to sleep until at least noon, probably later.

My mother was still MIA, at her hair color correction appointment (it's dark brown and at least 40% silver, and she has been dyeing it black for about 18 months, and wanted a brown shade again), an hour away. I sat around, ate a yogurt, checked email. When I finally gave up and called her, around 8:30, she had just left the salon and was on her way home. To the tune of almost $300. She now has very dark reddish-brown hair, with some auburn tones and some burgundy tones. It looks nice but I am surprised because she used to dislike reddish tones.

We went out for dinner, stopping at a bookstore so I could look for A)the CFIDS books I want and B)the Nigel Jackson tarot deck I mentioned a few entries back. I struck out on both counts. Dinner was good, but I managed to forget my box of food... left it sitting right on the table. So much for tomorrow's lunch.

Got home sometime after midnight and have been going between reading about Genji Art (and the art of pre-1392 Japan in general) and fooling around online ever since. I have a tremendous headache and my legs hurt a lot too.

But one of the many people who owes me mail did write to me tonight, so I am feeling a little less neglected. :) Carrie rules!
(now if only we can strap a certain Junior Professor to his computer...)

headache.

still can't sleep.

*cry*

(and the more tired i get, the worse the headache gets, so the less likely i am to fall asleep...)

it's melatonin time... *sigh*

it has just occurred to me (and via a strange source) that the way out of my creative rut is probably not to sit in bed until i feel better, and work on schoolwork thereafter, but probably to go into my workroom (which is incredibly trashed right now, and doubles as a sort of side-area to my livingroom, also trashed), clean up as much as I can in a few hours or so, and get to it.

i'm just saying.

i have a lot of ideas but few of them have anything to do with school assignments. this whole graphic design thing is so not happening for me. i like it in theory but these prereqs are boring and i only feel like i need the drawing courses, they are the only ones which are not repetition. i will probably feel better when i have my computer stuff up and running, too.

oh yeah, the melatonin isn't working yet. but i persevere. i feel a bit more relaxed.

n-cat won't have anything to do with me - he has found a spot on Her bed where he can curl in his very own fleece blanket, a castoff from the occupant. i have attempted to move his little furnace of a body from the bed four times and each time he has sat with me for maybe two minutes, then wandered back in to reclaim his cozy spot. scamp.

peeeeeeep!

Looking for a favor, oh LJ friends...

Can someone tape Felicity for me tomorrow night? It's on the WB at 9PM EST. If you can do it please pop me a line at the email in my profile. :)
(Tonight's Buffy/Angel would be nice too, but yanno, that might be too much to ask... and it will be repeated. Felicity won't!)

In other news, I feel worse today than I have during most of the rest of the week. Throat is a little bit sore, ears hurt again. *sigh* I've been on the lower dose of antibiotic for a few days now, so this is right on schedule.

I think I am back to Genji now...

everybody have fun tonight

Look, kids, it's Operation Wang Chung! Spread the word!

(BTW, on that Felicity and maybe Buffy request earlier, I WILL reimburse for tape and shipping.)
