I have been doing laundry all night. A load of sheets, a load of pale things (mostly pajamas, since that's mostly what I wear, though there are a few tshirts in there - all "hang-dry"), a load of things in intermittent muddy colors, greys and blues and greens and medium violet shades. I might go to the laundromat at 7, when it opens, or I might not. I also need to register for classes & get some other outside-the-home things done. But I feel very strange, getting the numb tingly unreal slightly sick feeling that I had a lot when I was on BuSpar. So I don't know if I will make it out.

I also burned a couple of cds. The excitement!

I have a shirt which is causing me problems. I spilled something on it some time ago and forgot when I'd gone to wash it. It's a cute pale blue shirt by Cosmic Girls, with art by Fawn Gehweiler, and it has a girl with huge blue eyes and dark hair in a tshirt and a pair of jeans, on her knees, spilling a prescription bottle. The pills are colored pastel buttons sewn onto the shirt. It says "mother's little helper" across the bottom. I bought it in Boston and only got to wear it maybe three times.

And now there is a stain just to the left of the girl's head. I think it's coffee or tea or a sauce from something I was eating. The stain is a yellowish shade. There is no way to make it unnoticeable, and unfortunately, since I didn't realise it was there when I washed it, I dried it in a hot-air clothes dryer. This would seem to have set the stain, since what I do with it is to wash it with the other pale clothes (always on cold), use a "stain gel" on it, and leave it to sit on top of the washer until the next time I do pale laundry (usually about 2 weeks). It seems to have faded a little, but not a lot.

I'm really bummed about this, as I adore the shirt - any ideas for stain removal?

If anyone is interested, I recently learned that DC Comics is rereleasing their Vertigo Tarot - art by Dave McKean - next year. This originally came out in a limited edition in 1995, and has been difficult and expensive to get for years! It's also going to be like $20 cheaper than it was last time, and in more manageable packaging (with a softcover book instead of a hardcover, for example). You can find more info about it here (go to the bottom of the page). (HeadsUp to KittyMalicious - they are also releasing a cool Swatch-style Wonder Woman watch this spring, there is info about it on that page too!)

It's also good news for those of us that have one. Especially if that "glossy laminated" part of the description is true. I'm afraid to play with my own set much because of the somewhat flimsy cardstock.
