balsamandash- Glasses did not happen, because my goddamn stepfather did not check if I was actually on the insurance or not. Yay. It was a whole clusterfuck and I need him to check with personal this week to see if I can get on the insurance, and if not, I'm gonna have to pay for the exam and glasses out of pocket, which will probably run me in the neighborhood of $100. Could be worse, could also be much better or at least expected and saved for if my stepfather didn't fuck me over.
- I've taken off the last couple of nights because first there was face/ear pain, and then there was awful cramping. Ugh. I feel better now, except for the inability to sleep, so I should be going in tonight and for the next three days, but the upcoming paycheck's going to be kind of awful. I got my bonus in the one that just came, though, so I should actually get by pretty well.
- Big sisterthing is coming into town for a week at the end of the month, which may end in taking more days off, cause otherwise I'm working basically the whole time she's here, and nope, not missing my Beth for this shitty, shitty job, screw the money. However, I get a Beth and that is super, ridiculously pleasing.
- Have basically spent as many weekends as possbile this year with either thebonesofferalletters, or with mortalcity and actuallyclintbarton. Blood family is hard, people I actually like are asier. I did finally talk things out with my mother, though. There's still stuff she's not quite getting (like, say, not blaming me for her husband's mental illness no matter what's going on! or that maybe my being upset over what she sees as harmlessly releasing her anger in my direction wouldn't be taken so badly if she hadn't ACTUALLY blamed me for things that upset her for most of my life with much, much less reason!) but we're talking again and it could be much, much worse.
- I finally got my ears pierced! After meaning to do so for like. a year. It's very pleasing.
- When bills ARE paid and I see where finances stand, I need to treat myself somewhere this month to some combo of the following, depending on how much I have left: Black Widow earrings; possibly other ridiculously geeky post earrings; stimtastic goodies; paid DW account; Among the Imposters. Leaving that list here mostly to remind myself of it.
- I have been keeping up with Habitica for more than a month, give or take about a week spent in the Inn because my schedules were weird. I finally filled out to-dos and habits and sorted things a way I like and while I still am trying to brainstorm dailies, I think it's kinda helping on some things? If nothing else, helping me to start slooowly feeling like less of a failure, by having something to actually show me something is getting done. It's a very slow process, but it's sort of happening. And this is longer than I usually keep up with this stuff, so I'm kinda proud! (I just hit level 10 and get to choose a class when I can decide on one; goofy as this is, if anyone else is on the site and wants to start a party/has a party to join, poke me? Quests look like fun and more motivation to keep up with things is always good.)
- Writing is still. really goddamn hard. Taking on a GYWO challenge to try and manage 2,100 words this week, which will be more than I've managed in total... um, this year to date. Longer back than that, really. Sigh. I did manage to get about 6 tags banged out in the last 3 days. Considering how thoroughly and how long words have been near-impossible, I'm trying to remind myself that that's pretty good. I still plan on getting back to all the memes I've failed at lately, anything resembling creativity has just been difficult for a while.
- I finally got all my bookmarks from years and years and years and multiple google accounts together in one place, so the Great Bookmark Sort begins this week. I am thinking of making a recs journal, even though I admittedly crashed very quickly last time I tried it; there may also be link-sharing posts here occasionally with stuff that is not quite rec-like, but I feel needs sharing.
- I've commented on almost nothing lately, but I AM reading along, and I love you all. That said, I've been distracted and not always having reading comprehension, so if there's anything you want to make sure I saw, uh, link me? Or if you just want to pop by here and be loved on directly. That is good too. I'm a little disconnected at the moment, and having people is really nice, when I can make myself reach out to them. (I could be doing worse on that front. See aforementioned note about spending weekends with people who actually care, rather than family.)

Date: 2016-03-12 06:39 pm (UTC)I like dangly earrings in theory; in practice I always feel like they're going to get caught on something and rip out. There's some dangly stimmy ones at stimtastic I am eyeing and planning to get eventually, but I can't switch at ALL til mid-April, and the paper said post earrings only for six months, so.
I really wanted the Black Widow ones though, so I'm pretty okay with those being my first pair even if I just use those for a while. XD
I really like the idea of multiple holes; I think one day, now that I finally got the first, I might try and do a second set. I don't think more than that is personally for me, but I do think the effect is really neat.
