Okay, internet, with the financial part of the DragonCon ramp-up still in limbo, let's put that aside and address the practical bits:
General:
Tote bag
Packing list
Email roomies and see what everyone's travel plans are Find new roomies
Costumes:
Hipster!Jean:
Paint tank top
Cut shorts + hoodie
Make headband (half done--I need to glue the emblem to the actual headband)
Faceless Old Woman:
Get dress
Get hair stuff
Print sign
Get mask stuff
Lady!Cap:
Belt
Figure out the shield ideas
Get hair stuff
So, def doable. If I have to sacrifice Lady!Cap, it won't be the end of the world (one third of that group isn't doing con any longer), but that's the thing that needs the most work and I still think it's probably doable, one way or another, SO.
***
Other stuff: Work still makes me crazy. I've been seriously depressed and anxious and trying to deal with that on top of work stuff. Doug's job remains in limbo, and I have a bad feeling about it which I hope is nothing more than a bad feeling. I've written some words recently, but not the words I feel like I "should" be writing, which is always a weird thing. The new apartment continues to be pretty good.
I'm trying to figure out what I want to do this weekend (besides grocery shopping) that will make me feel...better, for lack of a better word. I want to cut through some of this anxiety, and I can't tell if the best way to do that right now is to watch cartoons and eat ice pops and not worry about things, or if I should go out and explore and go shopping and write and feel "productive." Brains are hard.
I have at least two emails in my inbox that I should respond to (they both came during a really fraught morning/afternoon at work yesterday), and I think I'll start there after I get out of the shower.
