I finally got around to dying and styling Nazoko's wig. Her hair is actually supposed to be cherry red, but at least it's not blonde anymore. It's kind of coppery. Anyway, it'll do until I can get her the wig I actually want for her. Her eyes are also supposed to be orange, but... I can't find orange eyes. .__.;; So she's borrowing Tet-chan's red ones.

Yeah, I was supposed to go to bed an hour ago, but my allergies are trying to murder me, so instead I'm sitting up being miserable and watching The Daily Show. I love this show, but Lewis Black is on tonight and he srsly grates on my nerves. >>; Ah well.

OKAY SRSLY ALLERGIES QUIT IT. TT___TT

My eyes are all red and itchy and my nose won't stop running. I was fine until I took my contacts out purple today. What I'm allergic to no contacts now? UGH I HATE MY IMMUNE SYSTEM. SOMEONE SWAP WITH ME. MINE'S BARELY USED I SWEAR.

Wow, I woke up an hour and a half ago and was wide awake. That hardly ever happens.

Today my back seems to be much better, though the muscles are still tight and sore, but at least they're not spasming anymore. My allergies are no better though. In fact, I think they're worse. Stupid immune system. :P

I managed to get a couple phone calls made earlier, to ask what the hold up is on my books for the Writer's Craft course I signed up for, and to reschedule an ultrasound that I was supposed to have last week; it didn't get done because of the craziness after the pipes bursting in the basement.

I also wrote a card for C.A., so I can send it when I mail her a present later. It's a couple of maple leaves in a photo frame. Kind of artsy. I'll take a pic of it before I mail it off. A piece of Canada for her. =3

But I was afraid it'd get hung up in customs because it's made of real plants, so rather than mess her up in the airport I decided to mail it to her later, that way if they won't let it through it just gets sent back to me, instead of hampering her getting to Japan.

Hopefully I'll get that sales post up later today or tomorrow...

1) I've spent almost 24 hours now with my back in major spasms practically constantly. I must have pulled something yesterday at some point. Fuck, it hurts though. I've had to be taking major muscle relaxants and I've spent a lot of time just lying flat on my back. Hopefully it'll go away soon. -__-;;

2) Yesterday I started going through one of my storage spaces for things to sell. I have three boxes and a plastic tub so far, and I'm only halfway through the first space. I still need to pull out my second dresser and go through everything in the storage space behind there too. So at some point in the next few days there'll be a sales post with stuff, and I'll be posting things to ebay as well.

pixisity, if you have friends who would be interested in the GW figures before I post them up for grabs/put them on ebay, send them this-a-way now. :)

I decided that I am going to sell off a bunch of my SM collection; mostly the North American stuff that I've got. I'm keeping most of the Japanese items, and the plushies I've got because I find them horribly cute.

I'm also selling most of my individual comics, from back before I figured out it was more economical to buy graphic novels instead. lol. Plus some other misc. stuff, keychains and some odd-and-end action figures, and I think my flute, which I can get a couple hundred bucks for. Also a handful of MIB ponies that have 3-D symbols, since I hate using them for customizing anyway because the symbols are a pain to remove. >>;

3) C.A. is in Japan now. ;3; And actually, I got a card in the mail from her this afternoon, I guess she mailed it yesterday before she left, haha;

"Hey Tiff, how's it goin? I just wanted to send you a card to thank you so much for making it all the way to Bracebridge for a stranger, drug, & booze filled party just for me. It means so much to me that you made it all the way there & I was so happy to see you. You truly were a part of making my dreams come true because I always wanted a surprise party, but clearly can't plan one for myself. You are truly a gem among my friends. Thanks again for the jams & book which I am more than grateful for. Thanks also for signing my blanket, I will always have a reminder that at least one person is jealous! Tee hee, love you lots."

It made me giggle. At the party, Jodi brought out a blanket she's been working on; she sewed it with patches and then got us all to sign a patch and write a message. Mine was something to the effect of I'm so rediculously jealous. lol. Then there was an extra patch and she made me sign again, so I doodled an anime face and wrote good luck, have fun on that one. XD;

I'm gonna miss her so much. ;~;

4) I have a major craving for a can of coke, but I totally don't have any and the corner store is closed. :P

5) Whilst going through my stuff yesterday, I found my coin rolls! Now I can finally wrap up the $150-ish bucks in change that I've got hanging around. YEY.

6) My freaking allergies have been horrible today. I've been taking antihystamines, but they're barely doing anything. My eyes won't stop itching, and my nose won't stop trying to run off my fave. UGH. D=

7) Yesterday CSI: Miami premiered, and today was Bones and House; I missed Reaper. ;.; Still, I'm happy! Hurray for Premier Week!

8) ( Photoblogging, Day 68,69 )

I've been trying to get the 3 Riku!ponies finished to send off to the girl who ordered them, but the clay doesn't want to set right lately, so they're all still bald. I think it's because of how horribly humid it's been. >>;;

It's been a while so I emailed the girl to let her know what's going on, and I'm going to attempt with the clay again tonight. If it doesn't work I guess I'll take them to Mom's place and do it there, since their air-conditioner has dehumidifying powers too.

AUGH my allergies have been awful the last couple days. Hayfever season sucks. Actually, my allergies have been bad in general all this spring/summer. Blegh.

Tomorrow Mom's heading up to Grandma's, and I'd be going with her except I have a gynecologist's doctor's appointment. I'm all nervous, I've never been to one before. ><;; Then again, the appointment is just a consult to talk to him about my PCS and the possibility of having the huge cysts I've got removed, since Dr K seems to think there's no reason to do so, even though they're the size of fucking grapefruits and screwing with everything else in my body now.

Anyway~ we'll see how it goes.

( Photoblogging, Day 21 )

EDIT: Also, unfortunately my first batch of Christmas Jam didn't set properly either. It conspired with my sculpey or something. It's no big deal, really, I just have to dump it all back into the pot, heat it up, and add more gelatine. BUT that means I have to wash and sterilize all the jars again too. D'oh!

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, so hot... -.-;;

I don't want to go out tomorrow~ but I've got to go to Mom's. I think I might take a cab there instead of walking down to catch the bus. >>;;

My allergies are really bad today too for some reason. Hm.

( Photoblogging, Day 13 )

Today I was supposed to go over to Mom's and do some cleaning... and I totally slept through my alarm instead. -__-; Jeez Sena. So I'm going over tomorrow, and today I spent a while cleaning around here instead. Did cages and vacuuming and stuff.

It's been getting warmer outside, which is great, but starting about this time of year for two to three months, my allergies get to be really really bad. I go through a box of allergy pills every couple of days, which I'm sure can't be good for me. =.= But I mean bwuh~ I can't breathe through my nose, and my eyes are all itchy! Stupid springtime! ><;;

I guess I need to start running all my air filters more often again...

Anyway, so the buns and the squirrels and the rats are all clean and shiny again; I gave another litter box to the girl bunnies in the big cage, since they've recently decided that the corner opposite from their original litter box was good for using as a bathroom. Mrr. Now there are boxes in both corners! HAHA, I win!

The girls were all like \o/ and spent about three hours digging in it after I put it in, lol.

Maa ne, I was playing with Yuki and Kori for a bit after I cleaned their cage, and poor Yuki is starting to lose weight... that's what happened to 'Nashi before he died. But Yuki's about two and a half years old now, so he's really getting on. Even Kori's two years old. Poor guys, all they have the energy to do is eat and sleep anymore.

And Yuki's got a stripe down his back where he's losing hair. I didn't know rats could go bald in old age, but apparently it's possible...

I'll miss them when they're gone, and I think I probably will get more rats; I've really enjoyed having them, they're so smart and have such personalities on them. They've just been a lot of fun to have around. :)

Ahhh...

I went at last night and painted the kanji on the jyuunishi ponies in my Furuba set (so like, 75% of them)... and did it all with toothpicks. Detail brushes? What're those? XD; For the most part they weren't too bad, but Yuki's was a pain, and I did Ayame's three times and it still just looks like squiggles. -_-;;

Now I'm starting my Gravi ones, and my KH ones tomorrow after I borrow Mom's printer to print some pictures of the characters to use for reference. >>;

Yep yep~~

I HATE MY STUPID ALLERGIES. >O

This time of year always sucks... all the plants are flowering/budding, and that makes my sinuses and my eyes go nuts. Add onto that the pile of bird crap and feathers that are still under the floor, and the fact that, HEY! I have a huge-ass budding maple tree right outside my window!, and... blegh. *sniffles pathetically* ;-; I'll be going through a lot of kleenex over the next few weeks...

Oh well... c'est la vie, I guess. >^-^;;

EDIT:

My allergies have been terrible lately. My eyes itch like hell, my nose runs, and the skin between my fingers itches, too. NOT IMPRESSED.

I don't know why they've been so bad the last few days...

ANYWAY.

I have to go to the bank, then maybe Walmart, and then I plan to come home and work on Fruit Cocktail for a while, since Cassanda-san and I have gotten quite a bit more worked out for it over the last couple of days. ^^ Maybe I'll even write a scene! XD

I've been saying that for like, a month, though...

Also, much love to khriskin for letting me have this icon. =3

Yesterday was grocery day (as per every Sunday since a year ago); normally, Mom, Lee, Sarah and I all go out for breakfast/lunch (depening on when we leave) and then go to do groceries together. It makes things easier for Sarah and I since neither of us drives, and it's a nice excuse to go out together for a meal.

But this week, Sarah had a scheduled MRI in Barrie, so she and Lee had to go and do that-- thusly, Mom and I went out for breakfast and did shopping by ourselves. We ate at the Zellers restaurant (instead of the one we normally go to when it's all four of us) and I had a Spanish omelet, which was good except for the sour cream, which I've never been a fan of. :P lol.

After that, we went to Canadian Tire. They were having a half-price sale on air purifiers, so I bought one in the hopes that it would help get rid of some of the bird allergeons (sp?) around here. I actually need two for the side of my place, but they only had one left. ^^;

Then we went and did groceries, and I plugged my new purifier in when we got back from that, then closed the window, grabbed my laundry, and headed back to Mom's place. Did said laundry, watched a movie with her and Lee, and then cooked dinner for them (Coca Cola chicken, rice and cabbage-- it was awesome! *drools*), after which I headed home again.

Wow. There was a big difference even with having had the purifier running for just those few hours. It's really helping. But the little guy has to work like hell to do this huge place, so today when Mom and I went up north for our Chiropractor's appointment, we checked the Canadian Tire there as well. They were sold out, but gave us a Rain Check, so in a couple weeks we can go back and still get one at the sale price. Awesome.

I'm naming my new air purifiers "Alpha" and "Omega". Alpha is currently situated on my dresser by my bed, so that the air around me while I sleep is cleaner; Omega is going to go over next to the aquarium, which is diagonal from where Alpha/my bed is. ^^

Yup.

Oh, and today I mailed the boxes for cat_mcdougall and her kittens. >^-^< They were the only ones I could ship because I ran out of packing paper last night when I was wrapping things up. ^^;; Nyahaha... everyone else's packages should go out next Monday (in a week), because I bought some more paper today on the way home. :)

As for Cat! The packages for Christmas should get to you soon (might take a bit longer than normal, given that Christmas rush has started, but I'm not sure). Feel free to unwrap Jasmine and AJ's and re-wrap them in Christmas paper if you want to, or just give them the packages as they are. ^^ I really hope your kids all like what I got them. I had so much fun shopping for them... =3

I hope you enjoy your present, too, of course. ^_~ I hope everyone does!

OMFG.

I am so freaking allergic to Guinea Pigs. O_o;

*itches, wheezes, sniffles*

I can't stop sneezing today... *sniffs* =.=

As you may or may not know, Senashenta is allergic to peanuts. Really allergic to peanuts. Crazy with the anaphalactic shock and all that fun stuff. Basically, if I eat anything with peanuts or peanut oil (etc.) in it, I have about 3.5 seconds to get to the hospital before I fall down dead. Gack. That's the end of Sena.

The entire point of that somewhat rambling explanation being that I went to Walmart today... and they had a display of peanut free beanut butter. O_o; So I stopped and read the ingredients list, and was very tempted to buy a jar of it out of curiosity. But it was about $5 a jar, and I really don't like the taste of peanut butter anyway, so what's the point in buying fake peanut butter if I won't even eat it?

Yup. And while I was there, I got a copy of Blade: Trinity, because it was on sale and staring me in the face. =^-^;; Eheheheh...

I enjoyed it. ^^ The only thing that really bothered me about the movie was Abby's iPod. What Hunter in their right mind would crank up music and completely take their ears out of commission during a life-or-death battle? *sighs* But oh well. That was a small thing.

I did really like Abby's boot-blade, though. XD And Hanibal King amuses me to no end. He was just very entertaining. ^.^ The rest of the Nightstalkers I could give or take, but Hanibal was cool. As were the D-Reaper dogs! *sniggers* You made a God-damned VAMPIRE POMMERANIAN?! *CACKLES* I guess I just find it really funny because I know all the poms at Dad and Lois'... which are basically marshmallows with legs and wrapped in fur.

Also, the alternate ending on the DVD made me giggle.

"What do you get when you cross a Vampire with a Werewolf? A fur coat that sticks to your neck!"

*sporfles to herself* XD

Mom picked me up this morning because we had a bunch of stuff we both had to do... okay. Most of it was mine. Odds and ends of errands and stuff that Mom was going with me to do because I don't drive. >^-^;;

Got some juice from the grocery store... then headed to Walmart to get some shavings for the degu/squirrel cage/terrarium. While I was at the pet section there I found a little wooden hollowed-out tree-branch accessory thingy that would be perfect for the mice, so I got it for them. They needed something to chew on anyway, since I hadn't gotten anything yet with that in mind.

I also planned to raid the after-Easter chocolate sales... but there were none! ;__; All the Easter stuff was gone already. Wow. It's Easter Monday--it's still Easter, and everything was gone!

Bah.

Then we went to the drug store so I could stock up on allery pills. =_=;; Damned freaking allergies...

At the drug store, though, I also got some Cadbury Mini Eggs, since they did have some Easter stuff on sale, and since I had accumulated enough points on my Shoppers card for $10 worth of stuff, I also got a DVD copy of Silence of the Lambs from their discount-DVD-rack. XD

After that, we headed to the mall, since Smart Set has a sale on suits going on right now and Mom needed some new suits for work. She found two, both of which I WANT. *_* One of them is silvery-grey, and the other is black with thin grey pinstripes on it.

Then to Zellers. Just because.

They were also selling all their Easter stuff cheaply, so I got a bunch of Cadbury Creme Eggs. >^.^< I just need my own Cadbury Bunny... you know the one that goes "bock bock bock" and lays Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs? Yeah... because I'm addicted to both of them...

Anyway, then we pretty much went home. ^^

And wheee! ^_^ I love mavan, who is sending me FMA episodes in my email. XD *is so addicted to that show now it's kind of rediculous* ( Note for Mavan here. )

Ah... ah... H~ACHOO!!

....

*sniffle*
