yeah. I thought it was just issues I had with a couple people that was tying my tummy in knots, but I don't think that's all of it. I'm headachy, my tummy is roiling, and my gag reflex is stupidly high. Ickyburps are NOT fun. Sucks because we were going to go watch Get Smart today, but I doubt I'll be up to it. bah.

Soooo.. to preface this.. I've been trying to get my art into Art Music and More for a good four months now. Earlier, I couldn't because we didn't have the money. This past month or so though, I've been trying to get a hold of the guy and set up a space in his shop, and he initially replied saying to give him a call, but after 4 tries to get him to reply to me, I haven't heard a thing.

So I've talked to a friend of mine who's going to AnthroCon.. he says he might be able to get a couple friends who have tables to put out some of my stuff! So.. wish me luck, nonexistent reader base!

Emma woke me up about 10:40 or so yesterday. and now I had a crow wake me up at the same time. how wierd is that? Even weirder is that he wouldn't be quiet until I had sat up in bed.

Because I have fimo in the oven for another 35 minutes.

Soooo..
hm
what have I been up to.. *thinks*
Not much.
We watched both National Treasure movies the other day. got some supplies at costco... Gary still hasn't heard anything on his mac. I've been playing in fimo most of the afternoon, because we ran to joanne's to buy some fimo for the cones.. I also bought some glow in the dark fimo (dude. there was a half off sale on all fimo.) and started making cones. in an hour and a half or so, I made four cones. :P

.. damn, this isn't going to work so well for keeping me awake if I don't have anything to type in it..

Oh, Gary has to be at work at 5 today. He was grumpy today =(. We got to eat pizza at costco tho, so that was good.

...yeah, I'm totally braindead. Been reading instructables all night. Gary was up until 12, and then I started on something around 1.. I'll be going to bed after this bit of fimo comes out of the oven tho.

...yeah, I got nothing.

temperature is regulating again. I managed to make mashed potatoes this morning after that post (since I have no crackers) and then finally got some sleep. got up around 5.. talked a lot on the phone with Brian, watched futurama with Gary, played some Okami, and talked to peoples more. good waking time. going to go make some food, probably talk more, and then get some sleep.. yay sleep!

well. there goes whatever it is that regulates my temperature. it's appx 50-55 degrees F, and my body is overheating a little. And this is with the cooler on. cranked almost all the way up. I've also been up for only 7 hours, and I'm already exhausted. granted, that was after only 4 hours of fitful sleep, but I'm still annoyed.

I haven't been able to get health care because now I am SEVEN dollars above the 2 family income limit.* I'm fracking pissed. Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to call, so Gary is. I'm somewhat afraid of being in the same room.. or building for that matter, when Gary gets the "we're sorry, you're over the limit" message from the drones. I'll be sure he talks to a supervisor.. I'm afraid of having to talk to them myself around Gary because... well.. if I don't get health care, there's a very real chance that I will die within the next year or two.. depending on what gives out first. I don't want to die.. I have too much work left to do here. and frankly, I'm enjoying it.. as much as the body I'm in sucks medically.

*Ursula's suggestion to fix this was to send her 7 dollars each month as a business expense.. sadly, they can't take into account anything like that.. unless I'm a fracking deadbeat or have to pay for child support or such.

just to summarize.. I woke up around 11 (we were up until 3 watching movies..), and then tiggy asked if I wanted to go to Cat Tales. Woke up the fox, he said yes. yays! Ended up being almost an hour late, iirc. Comedy of errors.. we both had to get showers, and then the oatmeal wasn't enough food for Gary so we had to go to burger king (5 minutes away if that) and then he realized he didn't have his wallet, so we went back over to the apartment.. and I had to stop and be sick on the way.. :P one might guess why we were late. Anyway, went to cat tales for way longer than it seemed (4 hours I'm guessing) and got to see kittehs, Curio came and joined us too. babbled with one of the attendants. then tiggy went off to go see Caspian with another kitteh, and we went over to Brooklyns for lunch/dindin. Very nommy. it took me three sittings to get through a childrens meal. :-\ Anyway, we went over to curios house, where random portal singage happened.. talked a lot.. she lent me some anatomy books and a storybook to read, which is yay.. babbled some more.. batted at her pretties.. confused her cats completely... hehehe. and then before we knew it it was almost 11 (we'd gone over at 6 or so). Came home, and almost immediately fell over :P

and shush on the spelling/grammar etc.. I'm exhausted. :P

it's 4:25 am... and it's DAWN.
what the hell is with that?

So. I'm staff on a con that we've had every year since 2000. about the middle of last year the only really *active* member left. a group of people stepped up, and said that they wanted to see what could be done to save the con. Eventually they ended up being staff because nothing was coming out of it. I joined them, and we've been planning the con. Now, the backbone member of the con has left because people weren't respecting her decisions, certain people were rather specifically trying to hold the con back, and one member has just been a bastard to anyone who doesn't like/go with her ideas. Needless to say, my husband and I are thinking about leaving because of this as well.

ON THE UPSIDE
We got mario kart and Okami for the wii last night. wewt. And we made a bunch of friends at AFF, who are actually *hanging out* with us. We're going to go hiking with one of them soon (we were supposed to today, but I wasn't feeling well enough). so that's yay.

So, really the good outweighs the bad. And hey, if I quit the committee I'll have more time to do chainmaille and go hiking! so yay. ;)

eleri is doing Faerie Oracle readings for small fees. Get one, get twelve!

She also made rune sets made from recycled tiles which look REALLY COOL. She's selling them for practically nothing! Get them before someone else does!

note: must be logged in to see them. I'll see if I can pester her into an Etsy account tho.
