Spooky Day plans
I am probably the worst goth ever in that I have NO plans for Spooky Day Weekend aside from doing something to the kitchen because GOOD LORD, laundry before the dryer finally dies -- timer went out before but we were managing by just remembering to go check our stuff at regular intervals until dry since it wouldn't turn off and would just keep going until your shit caught fire but now it does that AND makes the most horrendous sounds known to beast or man in the course of getting your clothes dry -- some deep conditioning and clarifying hair shenanigans, catching up on some sleep so to fight off this fatigue and aches I feel coming on -- get behind me, ye beasts of Hell! -- and some possible gaming. (Go Cap'n RunOn, Go!) There might also be a mani/pedi in there somewhere as well. And reminding myself to eat because my appetite's gone off to Antarctica or something and I had more than a few days last week where I did not eat anything all day.
Beyond that, I don't plan to leave the house until Monday for work. Maybe I'll have enough of my shit together by this time next year that I can be back to the Halloween Celebrations for the Whole Month! girl who would try to have some form of dressing up every day the week of Halloween just for the fun of it. I kinda miss her. For many reasons. It will be interesting to see how some of my coworkers react when they realize that the all/mostly black wardrobe with skulls and skeletons isn't just Halloween garb for me.
Speaking of work, I am strongly considering making a mini-altar for my desk since I unwittingly already kinda started making one. HEAR ME OUT, OKAY. See, there is a shelf part of my desk that sits above where my computer monitor normally would go -- I don't like folks walking up behind me and politely requested the techs rearrange my computer so I can face the door while working so I don't end up punching my boss as a gut startle reaction -- and I don't foresee ever putting anything up there save some candles or a fountain/shallow dish of water or something. And then I realized that I was setting up directions and elements up there anyway out of habit and went [facepalm] because you can take the girl out of the paganism but you apparently can't take the paganism out of the girl. So, now I just need to figure out how to set up an Unseen Persons altar there without it being obvious that's what it is. Mainly because everybody doesn't need to know my business in that regard, you know? The ancestors will be somewhat taken care of when I get all my photos copied and framed and brought in, so there's that.
I don't know if I can have candles at work, though, now that I think about it. Which. Hrmm. Not having fire of SOME kind up there will end SO badly for me. Especially if I have water and earth represented because man. Just because. So, have any of you ever done something like this with your work space? Am I being stupid and should just stick with that kinda shit at home?
Now to go attack the kitchen so I can even THINK about cooking. Which, what the hell do I want to cook, anyway? Gah, decisions.
This weekend is also listening to somafm and figuring out my budget so I'll know when I will have enough money saved to be able to afford to register for wincon FUCKINGFINALLY. It's only taken me til the 5th year of the thing to be able to go.
