Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sue and shrift both have adorable hair.

In other news, could I get some generalized ~ma, as I'm thisclose to tipping over the edge into a prolonged funk? There are a few health issues that are probably not helping (toothache, bladder infection), and I've also been feeling kind of invisible/useless of late, both online and in RL. ISTG, in some meetings I've been in at work lately, I feel like Marcie. And some of these are meetings I'm leading!

Because books.

You're not invisible here, Anne. All kinds of ~ma!

General ~ma, Anne. The only kind funk I want for you is musical.

I just apologized to one of my cats for letting it get all damp outside. That's probably a bad precedent.

Thank you both. Other than generally not feeling well physically, I'm not sure what triggered this. It just seems like all the old abusive self-talk got stuck on 'repeat' after someone turned the volume up to 11.

What I really need to be careful about is wallowing in this and doing nothing else all day. That'll just make things worse. So, I have pulled together a to-do list for the morning. Maybe a sense of accomplishment will help derail things.

I will join you in the doing of things, as soon as I finish my coffee. So much needs doing, and I actually do have energy today, so maybe I can get enough done that I at the end of the day I can tell I did something. That would be exciting.

I have a hanging birdbath in my front yard, on what I refer to as my iron tree. Walter wrapped his lead around the base, so I went to lead him back around it to give him more freedom of movement and managed to dump the birdbath on my head.

Pretty disgusting. And, in hindsight, inevitable, though I was surprised at the time.

Save me from teenaged boys who don't do their homework and then get pissed when they lose privileges and still have to do the homework, no matter how dumb they think that work is. Dude, you have a zero in that class. I don't care if he asked you to color every page in a color book to write a 50 page essay. Get. It. Done. And no, I don't care that you don't have school tomorrow. Get. It. Done.

Went to look at some cabinets someone in the neighborhood was getting rid of. They would have been perfect...except they were 1.25" too wide. Sigh.

Some productivity has happened, although the drawing I spent about 2 hours on needs to be scrapped. Argh. Well, at least I got started on it?

Now I'm thinking it might be good for my sanity if I got myself out of the house.
