It's been a long week. I'm tired, and slightly cranky. I'm blaming the weather, because it's currently 40 degrees and we're not supposed to break out of the 50s all week long. *grump grump*
I want to go up to Salem to visit Ulta and see Talya, but I'm not going anywhere that doesn't have adequate heating until the weather warms up. Likewise, I want to go see Gnome again up in Albany, but seeing Gnome requires giving her warning so she can tidy up a bit and she's 72ish and the weather is as hard on her as it is on me, albeit for different reasons.
So, I'm grumpy, because I want to visit and I can't because my stupid body takes any change in temperature as an attack upon itself and goes into shutdown mode. >_< I had to go to a company meeting last night and wore my medium jacket instead of my heavy down jacket and I had to sit in the car with the heater cranked for a couple of minutes before my muscles unlocked enough for me to drive home again. *siiigh*
Most days I can put up with the Raynaud's. Dress warmly, regardless of the funny looks you get from people. Wear gloves, indoors. Pay the extorbant electric bill, despite roomie's grumping. But just once I would like to feel like a normal person and not a freak of nature. :/ If I go from a warm indoor setting to a cooler outdoor setting, I may set it off. That happened earlier in the week, and the difference was maybe 10-15 degrees tops. Right now, it's 68 indoors and I won't turn the heater off until it hits 72 or else I can't type due to the stiffness in my hands. I keep having to stop and stick them under my arms to warm them up enough to continue.
Blah. Sorry for the rant. x_x
Happier news, let's see. Nail polish!
( The first part of the week was NailNation 3000's Max-A-Million... )
For those like me with sensitivities, scented nail polish is an absolute no-go. I picked up a Ludurana holo with my Llarowe order because it was such a pretty lavender color, but I absolutely couldn't stand the awful smell. I gave it to a co-worker who loves it. :3
Oh, and here's a silly picture. ^_^
Tiny Kaith and Tiny Kiyam with my oldest Barbie doll, whom I have been informed is "Fashion Queen Barbie" from the early 1960s. She was my mother's, and then mine, and the poor girl is in desperate need of a cleaning but still in pretty good condition all things considered. :) She comes with three wigs of different colors to change her look, and I still have them all, in somewhat questionable condition. ^^; Heh.
Her outfit is also 1960s, but apparently not her original. I also have an equally-ancient Ken doll, although this one isn't Ken-Ken, but Alan, a friend-doll of some sort. He has a Knight costume which is awesome, if in need of some slight repair.
Maybe I'll go see about giving them a bath while I'm waiting for Dez to come visit.
