We all have our down days
Yesterday wasn't the greatest day for me. Not like anyone cares, but I figured I'd write about it when I'm supposed to be folding the laundry.
I woke up feeling vaguely nauseous and wasn't able to finish my breakfast, which was two slices of toast. What was worse was that I had a hair appointment at noon. However, I lay down for a bit and I felt better after that. A bit hungry, but no longer nauseous. We get to the hair salon, and the woman who does my hair isn't there -- she unexpectedly wasn't able to get a ride or something. Naturally she apologised, but still...another woman offered to do my hair and waxing, but I said I'd rather rebook.
The thing is, the last time someone waxed my eyebrows instead of my usual person, they accidentally ripped some skin off. After that I don't really trust anyone but the woman I go to, D. She knows me and so I trust her more. Not to say that any of the other women who work there aren't good at what they do, but I jusr prefer D. So I rebooked and we headed over to the grocery store.
I don't know if this kind of store is common in the U.S., but it seems tio be more common here (Wal-Mart started carrying groceries, for one). This used to be a grocery store but now it holds all sorts of things, including clothing. My mom wanted to show me the clothes they have -- aparently the store has their own brand. I saw some nice stuff there -- I know some people might laugh because I'm buying clothes at a grocery store-turned-superstore instead of all the mall or something, but I liked the clothing and it was fairly cheap. :P So I honestly can't complain. I got a shirt and a pair of capri pants. I saw a skirt I liked there (two actually -- one was a brown and white striped peasant skirt and the other one was white with a beautiful pattern at the bottom; that one was more formal) but I didn't buy it because I don't normally get the opportunity to wear skirts and so my money would have been wasted. But if it's there next time, I might just buy it...>.>
My dad came home from Indianapolis too (he was gone since Tuesday); he was at some kind of convention for his work. He brought us back a bunch of stuff, so that was cool. He got me a shirt with a cat on it. The cat has the Liberty crown on its' head. I think it's a girl's shirt (that is, bought as a girls' large instead of a women's extra-small because I can fit into those) but it's cute. I'm wearing it now. ;) He also brought me back another shirt, a grey one for the Indiana Fire Department or something. It's a men's medium and it's way too big on me -- but it makes a good shirt for sleeping in. He also brought me back a radio that looks like a mouse (I'm not kidding) but I don't have batteries for it yet.
Then later, after dinner, I sat down and attempted to finish a piece I had started for erin_hime. I had blocked out the colours the night before and by that point I had shaded one character (out of three). I figured I would be done by evening so Erin could update her site. Oh no. I worked late into the night on it -- I went to bed at one, not able to take anymore because of a pounding head and tired eyes, and I still wasn't finished. Granted, all I had to do were a few small details like earrings and ribbons, but I wasn't going to stay up any later. I think I'm getting slower at colouring, since I remember rereading a comment I wrote on a picture I did back in 2004 -- I said I'd started colouring at 2:30 and finished at 9:50. Granted, the picture was just one character and not three, but still. I started at 1:30, maybe 2, when I got back from the store, and by one I wasn't finished. But this picture looks much nicer than the one I did in 2004 so I guess that makes up for it. :P
Mind you, the headache I had wasn't helped by the fact that I was listening to music. I think I've got some sort of addicition. I need background noise on or else I get restless. In class I'm fine, but at home -- turn on the music. It's strange. It wasn't helping my headache, yes I know I was being stupid, no need to remind me.
The headache wasn't gone by the time I woke up (though it was mostly gone), which was around 10 but I stayed in bed for an hour and a half and didn't actually get up till 11:30-ish, so I took an aspirin. I'm feeling much better now. I forsee this day being fairly boring. Granted, I have things I could be doing, such as doing another piece of art for oc_art100...or folding the laundry. I think I'll go fold the laundry now, and perhaps have late lunch.
