Staycation V2: Petty Time Off
Mar. 17th, 2023 05:04 amUgh. Headache is threatening to derail my day and it's only 5am. Ugh. Trying to figure out whether this is allergy/sinus or waited a little too long on the caffeine, as those respond better to different things.
Gotta make my to do list for the days off because unlike my sad days off, I'd actually like to say I did something this go round, even if I am not allowed to spend any money this time.
To Do: St. Patrick's Day Edition:
- Take down winter decorations
- Clean off the bar
- Clean off the table
- Clean off little table by couch
- Go through mail
- Fill Mom's meds
- Shower
- Resume work on Swatch-A-Thon, maybe tackle HT next
- Catch up on AG releases/gossip
- Paint nails after shower
- Breakfast, lunch, dinner
- Geek out over nifty things that have shown up lately.
- Work on either thecross stitch or embroidery stuff. Probably embroidery, honestly.
- Finish Crescent City.
We'll tweak this as I think of new things/remember stuff I told myself had to be done.
I haven't decided if I want to emotionally destroy myself and watch The Last of Us yet. If I do, that won't be today as I suspect it will grind anything else to an absolute halt.
In other news, I'm not sure whether I'm going to break my tentative no buy and shop the last of the BKL sale on Tuesday or not. I'd originally planned on doing so when it was scheduled for Thursday (as in last night) because I'd be off and wouldn't have to worry about sleeping after racing through to grab the *checks list* 5 polishes I wanted enough to give it a whirl. Considering all but one of those have less than 100 bottles available at this time (could be more, there was a mixup with the site going live before it should've), it's gonna be a fucking fight to the death. I'd forgotten we could do up to three ~mysteries~ as well, and those have a higher cap but there's also a very good chance I'll end up with a color I would've never chosen myself. BUT if I felt so inclined, the market for those is pretty decent. *muse* But now it's going to be my first night back with a new sfl and I'm not sure how awake I'll be. We'll see.
Okay, off to start cleaning because I am hoping I left the old lightbulb for the kitchen either on the bar or the table and that it's still there because I need the tentative replacement bulb gone. It's not working and I can't stand it much longer. And if we're changing that, we can get new bulbs for the overhead light in here at the same damn time.
eta:
Found the light bulb, huzzah. Wrapped it in one of my polish bubble wrap things so a) I won't lose it as easily and b) to protect it til we find a replacement. Finally using my foot mask thingies I bought after Christmas. Not entirely sure it'll work and now I'll have to dive under the table to get the packaging (no, self, you can't make that shot from here) once time's up but eh. As long as it doesn't fuck my feet up, and I don't think this one will, it was still worth the price since the foot mask alone cost more than the set, which has lip balm and I think a tube of Aquaphor? Eh.
