I'm in kind of a lot of pain today. ( whine, whine, whine )
So, ugh. I can't think straight or move today, which is putting a damper on accomplishing much.
I tossed the linen dress into the washer, on delicate, just to wash the cat hair and transfer pen out of it. I used a bright blue transfer pen to mark seam lines and make notes and place eyelets, and then the cats slept on it while I was making it. So it'd be nice to just start fresh. I think I'll probably chuck it in the dryer on low heat for a few minutes, then hang it to dry near-ish to a heat vent, then iron it. Then I'll hem it. I've somehow never really hemmed anything before, that I can remember, so I've no idea how to make sure it hangs straight. Bleh.
Meanwhile I feel bereft. i've just had it sitting here so long now, right near where I sit with my computer, so whenever I'm at a loss for what to do, I pick it up and work on it a while and feel better about the world. So I'm wishing I had another project going that I could be working on, because of course I feel totally incapable of focusing on anything complicated.
Yeah, I feel like either I have the flu, or I just smoked a whole bunch of drugs, or something, except I haven't either, so I don't have any reason-- I just feel like this. Bleah! If I hurt less, I'd put on some shoes and run around outside for a bit to clear my head. But I hurt a lot. I may do a yoga DVD or something. DOn't know if it would help. Left thigh hurts A LOT even when I'm sitting still. And Remi is driving me nuts. I am not coping well with reality today.
And I am quite disappointed: So far, I have only found one photo of myself from Saturday night. I didn't get a shot of my whole outfit, because I didn't want to bug Z to do it since he was busy. I figured someone at the event would-- I was dressed like a spaz and there were like 1200 people there, surely somebody would?
My hair is in one photo of my teammates. And I'm in the background of another photo, making a face over some peoples' heads as they pose for a quite nice snapshot. And that's it!
So I'm rather bummed. It would be completely and totally lame if I put the outfit back on just to take a picture. And I'm not redoing the makeup or any of that-- that's just beyond lame.
Oh well.
I might go look up vids of Eeyore on YouTube. It might cheer me up. Except it'd probably remind me that I've still got ringing in my ears from the over-loud shitty DJ at Ava's. I was so disappointed with Ava's, by the way. That bar has been a sanctuary for me and the other KOs for two years now. But on Saturday it was packed with drunken douchebags who wouldn't leave us alone, and the DJ thought he was clever, playing really shitty songs (including one really explicit rap song about fellatio, which really proved to me that he was missing the entire point of roller girls), and he had the speakers turned up so loud that they were clipping and buzzing. It was excruciating, and ruined what had promised to be an awesome time. So I'm really disappointed with Ava's. And really annoyed that I have hearing damage from it, because at least the other times I've had this it's been from punk shows that were actually worth being at.
