Yesterday, October 23rd 2002 Jef and I drove around all over trying to find my Midnight Priestess costume. My Love had saved up the money for me to get it and I was SO happy! (I love him so much, he's just wonderful!) But....we couldn't find it. Actually, we found it twice, just one was in Large and the other Plus size. *sighs* I need the "Teen" sized one since the teen is women's size 2-6. The "standard" women's size is 6-10 (and HUGE I tried it on. even over my clothes is was many sizes too big) and the "plus" was like 10-16 or something. Arg. So I haven't been able to find it now. We tried to locate the phone number of a store up by where Jef lives (about 20 minutes or so from me) but they aren't listed and I didn't want to drive there for nothing last night - especially since it was rush hour when we got done trying places locally. Blarg. So now, I've got the money to get the costume, but I can't find it!!

Yesterday was Wednesday which is my Love and my "night" - it's West Wing night and we both love that show. We ended up doing some fondue for dinner and even though West Wing was a rerun, we enjoyed watching it together as always. Afterwards, we did some stuff on our own a bit - I gathered the items I needed for my Unemployment review (more on that later) and he played some Grand Theft Auto 3. Eventually, we ended up dying my hair - always an ordeal and every time we do it I say That's it! next time I PAY to have this done! only to end up doing it ourselves again. *lol*

Turned into quite a process as always - I swear, it can't take everyone like two hours to do this - but it's pretty red again. I went out in the sun today to take a pic when I got my mail and it looks like this:

Tonight apparently, we're going out to eat! Weeeee! My friend Rand is taking us all out to celebrate his promotion at work so we're off to The Cheesecake Factory! *does a happy dance* The only thing that sucks is last night, after we did my hair, I got SO sick to my stomach. I slept all of about 1 1/2 hours and when the alarm went off this morning, I had just dozed back off after throwing up at 6:30am. It was cramping and bubbling and just miserable for no reason. Today it's feeling a smidge better, but it's still really hurting. All upset and burning like in the upper GI tract. Ugh. So, it kinda sucks I'm not really feeling good and tonight's the night I get to go eat somewhere wonderful. Dammit.

I had to get up this morning because I had to meet with the unemployment review people - despite the fact I've only gotten ONE check from them and that that check was back the first week of Septemeber, apparently, I don't warrent a second one until I can prove I've been looking for a job (hense the compliling lists of people I've emailed or faxed to, week-by-week for the last like six months. No easy task) It's utter BULLSHIT. Anyway, being sick and throwing up and getting no sleep, I just couldn't do it. So I called at 8am (the appointment they gave to me without speaking to me, just mailing me a letter with a date and time was today at 9am) and they said I could come in tomorrow at 9am instead.

Blarg.

Anyway...that's been my last day or so. This took much longer then I thought and I have some things I need to do yet before my Love comes home at 5pm, so I'm out for now. ttfn.

Didn't get to my hair last night. Got too late my Love and Jef were playing Hockey too long on his Xbox. *lol* It was like 1:30am when he left, and that would have meant it'd be like 3am before we were fully done with my hair - far too late for my Love to have to stay up on a worknight.

Might try to do it tonight, or tomorrow. Not sure. Problem is I follow the directions and wash my hair, don't put any of my normal hair care stuff in (like anti-frizz stuff), and then wait until the next day to color it. Apparently people think I'm making this up, but it says in the instructions of all the brands I've tried to do that. Wait 24 hours after shampooing to dye it so you don't hurt your scalp. (or dye it *lol*) So...yesterday I was all set, but now I need to take a shower since I didn't yesterday which means I'll either dye my hair like 8 hours after shampooing or I have to wait until tomorrow.

Blah.

Man am I exciting or what? Planning like my week around dying my hair. Gods I need a life.

Either way... I'm off to go take a shower. So this means disconnecting from the net. So this means ttfn.

Well got some sleep and my head felt better when I got up, but it's killing me again now. This sucks.

Watched Disney's "Mulan" tonight on DVD. Jef is playing Xbox hockey with my Love in the living room. I'm going to dye my hair red again tonight. (it my head lets me) Herbal Essence #44 Radiant Ruby

Hrm. got distracted by something else. Guess I'm not really feeling the journal writing at the moment. Hrm. *shrugs*

Um...go entertain yourself for now I guess. I'm going to stare into space a bit more, mkay? :)

Fuck I have a headache. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

It's been hours now. My Love has rubbed my neck several times tonight, but it's not going away. Not even close. I don't know why I'm writing this other then as a way to track my headaches. It's been all day. My eyes have been hurting the whole day like it's been hurting to see. They feel very dry (though they're not) and they just ache at the same time. Fuck I hate this. Fuck.

My mom's dog died last night. She was almost 11. She had really bad arthritis and wasn't really able to walk anymore. Last night, she apparently had a couple heart attacks and passed away at the house. She's really upset. I feel bad because they knew she wasn't well but they didn't know this was coming at all. Just not a good time for our pets right now I guess. Makes me think all the more on the state of Kush's health.

Anyway, my head is KILLING me and I need to stop using them. Don't know if I can sleep, but I know I can't keep staring at the moniter.
