I feel like the little gal in my user icon right now. My apartment complex is up for sale *again* and we've got an almost surprise walk-through on Thurs. The best I'm going to be able to do is make sure things are neatly stacked. They're just going to have to deal with 4.5 years of MS symptoms putting me on my ass.

My place is very cluttered, ( Read more... )

I think the MS started when I was an undergrad. My parents had come down for the fucla game and I'd developed this obnoxious tic. My head would randomly snap to the left. It wasn't anything I could control. Student Health and I thought I'd just slept wrong and I was given some muscle relaxers. Then, it went away.

I've twitched and spasmed and dealt ( Read more... )

When you get home from work and you're just plumb-tuckered. No, you don't get to crack open a nice cold one. The PA basically ordered the test to confirm the very things I used to diagnose myself.

We'll see how many bats are flying around up there and if the brain damage is too too bad. I hate my immune system.

It's been pretty shitty for me today. I'm manifesting the symptoms of early MS. I've got 30 Rainbow High dolls to make for Fishmas, sewing machines to fix, and my PhD application. Boo!

I need to put my decor back up. I had to take everything down in March when the AC needed replacing. I've got way too many fishy festive knicknacks. Like most of my creative endeavors, the collection has gotten out of hand. However, I no longer have a tree. Rather, I've got a couple of elaborate wreaths that I've made. One is straight-up fish- ( Read more... )

I got my 2024 Fishmas Ornaments done last night. I'm glad to have them out of the way early so I'm not stressing about finishing them and my baking at the same time.

I've also got the fringes for the Xmas Rainbows cut. Now I get to hand gather all of them so they're ready to go on the dresses asap. Of course, I've still got to cut out the dresses ( Read more... )

Added to the Fishmas goodie trays for this year is my mom's coffee cake. It's quick, easy, and tastes amazing. This brings me to:

1. Lemonaid Cookies
2. Coffee Cake
3. Father Fishmas' Favorite Toffee
4. Peppermint Blvd
5. Cake/Scone/Bread mix

Now that you're allowed more than six userpics, I added some more fun stuff. Veggie flavored Jello, Typewriter Girl (Colliers Magazine c. 1948), crime scene tape, puzzle pieces, just some interesting little things. 

I popped over to Sally's today to assess the mermaid situation. Half have sold, so 15 left to go. I brought a Rainbow High Fishmas sample to show off and the girls behind the counter are excited. I am too.

Got a text from one of my sisters this morning. She's been hiding a pregnancy and had the kid late last night. Now, I know this is pretty much all she's ever wanted, but she's a fucking shit-show who only knows how to latch onto disgusting abusive man-shaped creatures.

I want to be happy for her. Honestly, I'm worried. She was raised entirely by ( Read more... )
