Not dead, just ugh
Wow, it's been a while since I posted. And, actually, work has calmed down (mostly). Which was when my system decided that there must be time for a depressive downturn. Thanks, brain, that was just great.
On the other hand, I have a new Project!
This year has been one of slowly doing all the little things to my home environment that I'd thought of doing but never did. Until I was at home 24/7. I've filled in the gaps in my bed covers. I've slowly acquired seasonal glass art. I finally got new dishes and glasses. I've expanded and (because this fucking year) color coded my tea collection.
And I really thought all this would assuage the "fuck it, let's do this" urges that have hit so hard this year.
Apparently, I was wrong.
My back brain made the decision before I quite realized. Apparently I'm going to go ahead and let my hair grown out silver over the summer. Which, on the one hand, no more henna-and-indigo every two weeks (unless, of course, I hate how the silver looks). On the other, though... I'm about to have bright silver hair and warm skin and dark eyes, and that means I need about a dozen items of clothing in warm, medium gray instead of black. If this was a year when JJill had their pewter color going, I'd be all set, but of course it isn't.
So. Project! Possibly a dye project, when I get to pants, but I'll be okay on black for those.
Also, Imma need a surplice dress in deep marine navy, because life is too short not to look sexy as hell, and I /love/ that particular little black dress.
To the hunt!

I also have been doing things around the house except I'm still getting stuck in the ADHD 'get 80% done and then get bored' rut, hahaha.

I'm totally like that at work these days. I write /everything/ down, because five minutes later I've forgotten it.

They do! I've got at least two kicking around in the dozen and a half colors I have from them.

What kind of glass art? Ornamental sculpturey things?
