In which I battle Death and Luna Lovegood
Jul. 21st, 2017 08:44 amHow I spent yesterday, the shorter version.
Got off work mostly on time after having an interesting chat with one of the newer people (we'd never spoken before) where she basically told me alllllllllllllll her friend's business and welp. That's a thing.
Stopped at McDonald's for breakfast, pretty much negating my night of drinking mostly water instead of more sugary goodies. I tried to be good, universe. Still, better that than nothing.
Came home and somehow lost my morning to paying bills, talking briefly to my uncle and then trying to follow his directions for something to help Mums and oh, yeah, battling the impossible.
While skipping through FB to see if there was an update on my cousin (there was not), I stumbled across Hot Topic and their boasting of their Summer Con exclusives. Normally I don't pay a damn bit of attention to such things but then I saw her. Luna. Freakin'. Lovegood.
I might've broken a record finding her on their site and throwing her in my basket and trying to check out only to be thwarted by her disappearing at the last second. What the heck, Lovegood?! Yeah. She kept showing up as available only to laugh and say no, although it never went as far as the first time when she legitimately showed up in my bag long enough to get my hopes up.
I debated it long and hard (at least a good minute and a half once I realized HT's site was just messing with me) and wandered over to ebay and set a limit on what I was willing to pay and found one that didn't sell out from under me. Again. Anyone other than Luna and I'd have walked away.
Then found out Chester Bennington died and wondered if![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
luxken27 knew. Went to sleep shortly thereafter, only to be woken by Mums for dinner and to let me know my cousin died. I get all the best ways to wake up, no?
Throw in a period scripted by Stephen King and I wasn't looking forward to work but apparently I dozed just long enough to miss my window to call out and not get murdered. So I went and it wasn't bad.
Had some blather here, will try again when my head is a little less frazzled. My heart is a little less sad when I see how many people love him and will miss him.
