I just had the perfect cup of tea. Like, so exactly perfect that even though I want another cup I'm not going to have one because it could never measure up. I hate when that happens. Sort of. It's a kind of love-hate. XD;;

Last night while I was watching movies I made a really cute Halloween bracelet. I'll post pics of it when I get around to uploading them from my camera.

I've started packing for Otakon already, and trying to figure out last-minute arrangements. I have all my wigs packed except my red one and one of my brown-blonde ones. I also packed all of my neckties except my Ouran one, I think. XD; I still have to make sure I pack all my meds and first-aid supplies, and then packing my actual casual clothes (jeans, shorts, t-shirts, whatever) has to wait until like the day before I leave. Also, I still have to pack the NIN shirt and bracelets I ordered for BOYS!Riku cosplay, but I can't do that until they come in.

Someone needs to help me trim my Riku wig when we're settled in the hotel in Baltimore. /note

Tomorrow or the next day I have to go to the greyhound website and buy my ticket to get to Toronto on the 15th. My flight is at 12:30, which means I have to be there at 9:30am for check in, which means I have to leave here at 7am on the bus. =.=;; Ah well.

Today has been tiring. -.-; Just a lot of running around, and me not feeling 100% on top of that. Ahh, December is always like this!

Mom and I had an appointment out of town just after one, so she picked me up around noon-ish; or at least that was the plan. She actually ended up getting to my place early because she'd picked up Lee's Christmas gift, and wanted it to be a secret so she asked if I could stash it at my place for her until Christmas Eve. lol. It's a guitar! :3

Then we went up to Gravenhurst to the Chiropractor. Normally he works on my wrists/hands and jaw, but today he couldn't do much with my jaw because it's still really sore from all the needles at the dentist on Tuesday. >>; He did, however, fix my hip, which is awesome as it's been pressure-sensitive for about a week now.

On the way home we stopped at the mall so I could look for MLP at Zellers (I still hold out the vain hope that I might actually be able to find the winter series ones without having to go on ebay), and then to the book store where I picked up some books for cat_mcdougall's older kidlings. (Note for Cat: I'm sending the reciept with them when I mail everything, so if they already have them or you think they're not appropriate you can take them back and buy them something else. ♥)

After the bookstore, I zipped into San Diego and found my brother's Christmas present (FINALLY!) It's a mister, you know the things you fill with water and plug in, and they make mist. I have one from last Christmas that I asked for, but his is actually way cooler. XD; It's a blue dragon looming over a pool-- you fill the pool with water, and in the middle of it is a crystal ball. *mibble* I wants it~~! lol. <3

After that, we stopped at Mom's place so I could start my laundry, then dropped Trunks off at work and made a quick side-trip to Sui-chan's place so I could drop off her Christmas present. She wasn't home, but her brother was, so he said he'd give it to her. Haha, I hadn't seen him in about five years and he's grown so much! XD;

Then we did grocery shopping, and while I was at it I bought a whole whack more Gingerbread Spice tea, because it's LOVE and I know it won't be available after Christmas time. lol. I want to send some to people in the next packages I put together, but if I can't get more next week I might not be able to. >>; I also want to send some Pumpkin Spice tea too, because it tastes/smells like pumpkin pie. XDD

Aaaand now I'm back at Mom's, waiting for my laundry to dry so she can take me home. =D;

...man, working on her computer just makes me realise how behind the times mine is. Mostly because this one has a dual processer, and mine only has a single one; plus, the one I do have has been acting up lately, and doesn't like to do pretty much anything faster than a snail's pace. Gah, if I'd known it was going to die on me like this, I would have asked for a new one for Christmas or something. D:

EDIT: ALSO! Someone help me think of a good journal name for Eiri Yuki! ><; I picked him up as my fourth character over at rizumikaru_yomi, but I haven't been able to do anything with him because he doesn't have a journal yet and I fail at making one. ;o;

EDIT #2: So it turns out I'm allergic to catnip. >>;;

*SPLODEY*

I finally after like five months got the package with my twins wallet and was all omg yey~~! --until I opened it, and it was the wrong one. TT~~~~TT Don't get me wrong, I love Tono and all, but I've been through hell trying to get this bloody wallet and I want the twins one dammit! ><

I AM NEVER PURCHASING FROM THIS SELLER AGAIN. *huffs*

....

That aside, today I went shopping with Mom and ended up with a whole whack of stuff. Originally we went out to look at treadmills, because I'm desperate and stupid and she said she'd buy me one. (The one we're getting is out of stock until tomorrow, do we have good timing or what?)

But you know, I picked up some odds and ends while I was out; I got the shirt and pants for my Ouran outfit for AN, for instance. I'm really quite pleased with that, since sometimes plain white shirts and black pants can be hard to find around here for some reason. That was at Zellers. I also managed to finally find a styling Rarity MLP there, which I've been looking for for over a year now, lol.

Between Zellers and the car we stopped at the bookstore, and Mom didn't find anything, but I got a couple of interesting books in the discount rack; A Brief History of The End Of The World and A Brief History of Misogyny. I have a bunch of the I Brief History Of books. <3

Then at Walmart I randomly found the exotic tea section and went gnsfuighayugflibdayugrYEY! \o/ Because I didn't even know that kind of stuff was available in this area. So then I got four boxes of new teas to try, and Mom had to drag me away before I just emptied the shelves into the shopping basket, lo; Honey Vanilla (white tea), Vanilla Hazelnut, Mandarin Orchard (green tea) and Tension Tamer, just because it had a dragon on the box and I'm so stressed out lately I'm breaking out in a stress rash on my hands. >>;;

And I also got some meal replacement powder stuff... which goes along with the treadmill and my general state of mind right now, so we don't need to get into that. -.-;

Anyway, that was my day. Yep.

EDIT: One of my new teas has catnip in it. HAHAHA.

1) Don came over today, and from the goodness of his heart, randomly gave us an electronic doorbell. This stems back to many problems that we've been having (read as: I've been having), where people insist on locking the main door all the time (even though we each have our own doors to lock beyond that), and when someone knocks on the main door, I'm THREE FUCKING FLOORS UP, and obviously can't hear them-- oh, and the people on the main floor won't bother to answer it, either. So 98% of the time, when I have someone coming over, they show up, find the door locked, knock, and get no answer, so they leave. Yeah, I'm pissy about it. Anyway, Don bought us a doorbell, which has been installed in my apartment (not Sarah's), so now when people are coming over, I have a chance in hell of actually knowing they're here.

*deep breaths*

2) cat_mcdougall's package of random teas came in today! =3 *is happy* I opened it about three minutes ago, and am currently in the process of boiling water to try the Chocolate Caramel tea that she sent me. BUAHAHA. XD

Thank you Cat!

3) And wow. The postal service is really surprising my lately. Along with Cat's tea, I also got the first order of hair for my anime ponies (which means it's all in CRAZY ASS colors)-- I ordered it a week ago, it came all the way from Texas, and it arrived today. The postal people are really on the ball or something lately, I guess...
