and so I've got to push on through

Work is hectic so bullet points:

1. Last night I dreamt I was in a rooftop hot tub with Tyler Seguin. Sadly, Jamie Benn was not with him. But this morning, I texted
devildoll and she was like, I ALSO DREAMT ABOUT TYLER SEGUIN. Great minds! *g*

B. I keep forgetting The 100 airs on Wednesday now, so I was busy detangling my hair* and by the time I realized it was on, I was like, ah, fuck it, I'm going to bed. I'll watch it tonight, on Thursday, as it is meant to be.

*not a euphemism

iii. Writing is hard! When I have the motivation I don't have the words, and when I think I have the words I don't have the time, and when I have the time, I don't have the motivation. It just keeps going round and round. Which is why it's vicious. And a circle.

d. Last night, I attempted this DIY lip balm gloss, though I cut it in half, and used 1/2 tablespoon of castor oil and 1/2 tablespoon of pomegranate seed oil instead of almond oil, which I don't have on hand (and am not planning on using because of my niece with the nut allergies), plus 1/4 tsp vitamin E oil and a 1/2 teaspoon of wild violet flare mica powder, which looked amazingly trippy (sparkly and purple like the universe!) when it was liquid, but solidified into a gray waxy blah. Not glossy at all! (I unfortunately did not take pictures.) Also I could actually see it solidifying. Which maybe tells you something about the temperature in my apartment. *snerk*

Otoh, since I made it, I've got to see how it actually feels, and it feels fantastic (maybe a little waxy at first? but I didn't wake up reaching for the chapstick so that's a plus). So maybe a different color and a little more of it next time? I still have other formulations to test out, though they are all basically the same, it's just swapping around the amounts of each oil, I guess, and finding a color that works. And I guess I can always melt down what didn't quite work and tinker until it does.

V. Three day weekend coming up! And it's supposed to warm up! I can't wait!
