...turn forever hand in hand...
Blech, I need to start wearing minerals again. I never realize just how uneven my skintone is until I look at pictures, and then I'm like... ewwwwwwwww.
In other news, it's fucking hot as hell here in the house with no a/c. I want to die, except that it's too hot to crawl into bed and do so. I'm probably going to take a cold shower after I finish here. Showering is even more fun and enticing now that I've been ordering soaps from Savor. I love her bar soaps, but I think after I finish off the mendhi, I'm going to buy strictly her creme fraiches. I love alternating between all the different soaps, but it's a lot easier to do that with the cremes as opposed to the bar soaps. Haha, I say that, and it doesn't matter, I'll probably still buy a ton of bar soaps -I'm digging on the Earl Grey shaving soap, although I haven't tried it yet -the smell is amazing. And by amazing, I mean, holy carp, I want to bite into it, because if it smells THIS GOOD then it MUST taste THAT GOOD. Obvious logic is obvious.
Preparing for the invasion in a few weeks. I've asked for some time off from Hotel Hell, we'll see if they grant it. I've told Conneah that I don't want any hours this month, but she's been calling me and asking me to pick up shifts. I've done so simply because it gives me an excuse to go see Micah for a few hours in between shifts -haha, I sound so desperate. Today however... she pestered me for three days asking me to open this morning, because she couldn't get anyone to do so, and when I show up...there's Jelly. Apparently, she'd forgotten that Jelly was on the schedule or something. So I booked it home, and have now resolved to ignore Conneah for the next few weeks. Crazy lady.
I am picking Sara up from the shop on Wendsday, so that we can go up to Stardust for the market. If she doesn't mind, I'm probably going to bring Micah along as we both have wendsday off and made plans for a lazy day, comprised of lounging in pajamas, venture bros, various movies, and possibly some junk food -I am very very excited for these plans. Sara has mentioned that she wants to get more of the loofah soaps from sim-bliss-ity, and I think I may sample a few of their body butters or whipped soaps -I seem to recall they had several. I may also purchase the "smells like my boyfriend" for Micah. It's a very simple and refreshing scent. It would be a nice change from whatever his usual routine of boring off brand soap is. I'll have to be careful though, as I'm very limited on funds at the moment.
Have been trying to spend a lot of time with the people I love, as there are things brewing in the immediate future that will prove distressing and painful. I'm choosing not to think about those things right now, but they are things that will have to be dealt with soon enough. I had a wonderful day at EPCOT with The Alex last week, to celebrate her Dean's Listing and the end of a particularly stressing semester. We had a wonderful day with some very fun photographic evidence over on Facebook. I did get a little crispy, and I think I made myself a bit sick, as partway through a truly decadent dinner at Jiko's I came down with a headache from hell. I felt awful about depriving Alex of their wonderful dessert menu, but towards the end, the simple act of keeping my head up was beginning to make me tear up. Ended up napping on the way home -thankfully, Alex knows how to get to my house about as well as she does the way to her own, so there were no issues with that.
Spent some time yesterday with Rei and Connor. He's adorable -it's so hard to believe that he'll be three in just a few short weeks! He got his haircut yesterday, and looked so much older than he had the last time I saw him -the spikes probably had something to do with that. As always, I live vicariously through her exploits, her life being far more intriguing than my own.
That having been said, I believe it's time for a cold shower, and some Acai creme fraiche. I used the Chai yesterday. I haven't yet sampled the winter Grapefruit sugar scrub, but that's largely due to the sunburn -the thought of a sugar scrub on my poor crispened shoulders does not sound refreshing!
