darkfyre_museSo it seems one of those weeks where lots its happening but nothing seems overly important.
Steve got back Tuesday afternoon and we have been thoroughly enjoying each others company. (Although the poor boy it still waiting to reclaim the computer room from the visiting felines. Job for tonight me thinks.) Oddly though after a few days I easily start to forget the previous 10 weeks. Which is probably good as it makes the future deployments less daunting.
Still trying to establish the habit of being social. Still didn't get to Darkwave Garden last night. /sigh Try again next week. It really is all about planning ahead. As fun as spontaneity is, it leaves too much room for laziness sometimes.
It is very strange. I have a large and varied collection on my iPod. Yet I seem to latch on to 2 or 3 albums/playlists and listen to them continuously. Fortunately I seem to change the line up every few weeks, so its not too pathetic.
Well I am starting to get the hang of this dye stuff. The second round of dye has held up better than the first. After 3 washes it is still auburn not orange, although lighter than before. Meaning I will get about 18 days out of it before I wash and re-dye on Sunday. I also discovered that I picked the absolute worst dye for maintaining reds. Go figure. However it means that I should get to a point where I will only be dyeing every 4-6 weeks. Which is average. Steve loves the color almost as much as I do. Especially with a black background and the natural paleness that is me without a tan. (I freckle more than I tan these days, and got over the brown look about 7 years ago. Besides blending tan lines sucks)
I actually slept A full seven hours last night and had no disturbing dreams for the first time in weeks. Go me. I really used to have much better sleep patterns. Or maybe that I was so chronically sleep deprived that I was more unconscious than asleep most night. I don't think I ever dreamed in college. Except when I would drop into REM during Calculus. (That was always disconcerting)
I am also walking around with this little 'worry stone' I picked up awhile back. It is marble and smooth and feels very nice in my hand. It just weird that I feel a need to constantly play with it. I am usually not quite that neurotic. I think it is at least a one point quirk. Although I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jazzfish got 2 for something similar at one point. (get the reference and you get a cookie)
Is getting stupid busy. And what happens next week? Mandatory overtime. Admittedly I already work 9 hours most days. But that's my choice. I hate being told I MUST be there. But at least I'll now get paid for it. My irritation might also stem from the fact that I like having an hour or so to work when the office is mostly empty.
Back to the grind
ciao ciao
