ptsd on the daily

I still have nothing to post this week LOL

Things I did accomplish this past week – I added some darker reds to my Wanda wig and ran the steamer over it to loosen up the curls. On the fence as to whether or not I want to completely recurl it. Guess I need to try it on and see.

I have (technically) not unpacked from dragoncon. I got everything out of the bins, it’s all in my sewing room in a pile. I’ve normally done that by now, and I do need to get in there and get out my Wanda stuff for Sunday and my Taylor Swift stuff for Friday. I think I know where all the Taylor stuff is, except the wig. Not sure where that is, and if I can’t find it’s not a big deal because I don’t HAVE to wear the wig to the movie premiere thing friday.

I think I haven’t really touched the costume stuff because we swung right into house stuff when we got home from Dragoncon. Started painting the kitchen of course:

I think Chase pretty much finished it off yesterday. We both did a little bit off and on over the last couple of weeks. Still need to take tape off and paint, of course. Excited to get the room put back together and see it “finished finished”.

I also cleaned the bedroom yesterday, so that’s something. I wanted to get halloween out but nee Chase’s help.

Also why I haven’t gotten much done lately – Melissa gave me Fourth Wing and Iron Flame a couple of months ago and told me to read them. Now that I’m done with dcon I finally sat down and started on them. Couldn’t put them down, they are so fun. It’s not exactly Pern but gives me more modern Pern vibes. I’m halfway through Onyx Storm now and trying to like, not sit and read it all in one go because I know I’m going to end on a cliffhanger and be stuck waiting a year for the next one.

Going to make myself sit down after that and read all of the books I’ve collected and never started or half read the past few years.

Saturday we took Kevin mall-walking. I told him before we go to Disney again he needs to exercise, because he was whining and moaning the entire first 3 days of our last trip until he acclimated. We walked around the mall twice. I only bought one thing:

This LOTR license plate frame. I’ve been needing a new one – my old sunbleached Stitch one from the Honda Fit has been on my Cooper for 2 years! Saw this and was like, ok, gold will look good on the Coop.

After we dropped Kevin back off at home, mom picked me up and we went shopping for my bday.

Got this dress! And 2 sweaters. I really needed a new dress, everything out of my closet is either retro vibes (tiki bird, the black and white 60s-style dress, etc), or looks like it’s from 2010 – not quite retro yet, just out-dated. So now I have something new to wear to things where I need a dress, but showing in a 50s petticoat silhouette is not the vibe.

Yesterday Chase painted, I cleaned, we ran some errands. Interesting thing – a couple of weeks ago I picked up this microwave meal at the store and ended up really liking it. I got a couple more next time we shopped. So last weekend I wanted to pick up a few more – and it was out of stock. We even went to a different location that said it was in stock, but it wasn’t. Bummer.

So this weekend I was like, surely they are back in stock – it shows our normal location does have some on their app! So we went and… empty shelf. I pulled it up on the app again and it let me put in 3 for a mobile pickup. I was like, surely this is going to get canceled. Nope, an hour later it was ready for pickup. That’s really irritating that they have these things but not putting them on the shelf?? Not blaming the employees for that – we all know it’s management not keeping enough staff and/or not giving employees enough hours to get everything done! (*cough*JOANN*cough*)

Anyway that was a rant.

This week I’ve got a dr appt on wednesday UGH. Hopefully it’s in and out, I just need to talk about medications and how my migraines have changed for the better.

Friday is the Taylor Swift premiere party thingie. Going to wear Lavender Haze. Too tired to cobble together something new.

Saturday is more house work hopefully decorating for Halloween?

Sunday is the Daughters of Dorkness show and I’m going to wear Wanda. I did get the shipping notification the other day that my good skirt fabric is finally shipping!! I ordered it in June and I knew it would take a while, that’s why I got the spoonflower fabric to have for dragoncon. Fingers crossed it looks great and that I have the energy to remake it before we start on photoshoots.

What else? I dunno. I guess that’s all this week. Hopefully next week I have lots of content after a couple of events and finishing the kitchen.

OH! I’m editing this to add – I did buy fabric for a new project this week! Mood Fabrics sent out a bunch of free pattern PDFs and I saw one I really liked for a new disneybound. They had the fabric they used for it linked right there, so I was like… y’know what you got me that fabric is perfect too, so I bought it. Probably won’t do anything with it for a couple of months, but it’s on the docket now.
