Who will love my ironies?

What a nice morning. 6 degrees, sun shining on my back, clear blue skies, green grass all about. I really don't know when the constant dark in winter started bothering me so much, it truly never used to, but the drudgery of dragging my sleep-deprived carcass to and from my 12-hour shifts for a week is SO lessened when the sun is high in the sky for it. Life is alright! Hooray!

Also lightening the load at the moment is the fact that I completely forgot Monday was Victoria Day until I saw the receptionist putting up 'heads up we're gonna be closed' signs just now! FREE DAY OFF, GIMME GIMME GIMME. I just gotta get through the (hopefully nice and quiet) weekend, and then close things out on Tuesday and I'm done! Amazing! Today was supposed to be the halfway mark of my week, and instead I feel like I'm already in the home stretch!

This does, however, mean that I have to get whatever I'm doing for my mom's birthday together over the next two days, since I was kinda operating under the assumption that we were doing all that NEXT weekend (she's already planning our next movie road trip, apparently she's very excited about A Quiet Place Part II, I've created a monster). Yesterday, I asked if I could take a long lunch, went home, and decorated the place a little bit for her so it was nice when she came home from work, but presents and cake and whatnot are waiting for a day when we're not all slaves to capitalism. Like Monday, apparently!

Still, it is a welcome problem to have. The temperature has already risen ten degrees and it's not even noon. :3

And cuts for the niche stuff:

here have a cool relatable meme about one of the people currently making my job hell



My current thing of hand sanitizer has tiny dots of glitter suspended in it, and I highly recommend finding your own that does so. Sparkle fingers improve absolutely everything. I'm going to be really sad when I run out.

uh oh kfc delivers now uh oh uh oh

I was really hoping I'd be able to ride things out and avoid having to post about this, but since I hit peak uselessness today, I figured I'd better update. Since this is going under the RP tag for whatever reason, it's a State of the Merr!

I'm all fucked up!

Thursday morning, I woke up with a truly horrendous hacking cough, which then gave way to awful back pain and dizziness. Friday, the back pain was gone, but was replaced with a persistent headache. As of Saturday, I was down to just cough and dizziness, but I straight-up cannot remain upright for more than a few minutes at a time. A lot of the dizziness was probably my fault as I realized today I hadn't eaten anything since night rice three days ago, but I've been nibbling today and it hasn't gotten any better, so idk. I've also started swilling Robitussin, though, it's all a rich tapestry, I'm sure. The point is, I'M ALL FUCKED UP. My next cheque is gonna be, like, five dollars with all the work I've missed/am going to miss, I'm not even finished Christmas shopping yet, the house is a mess and my aunts are gonna be here for New Year's after we head down to Edmonton on Boxing Day, and I'm just totally laid out.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR RP: I'm basically gonna be completely MIA, with minimal/no tags happening until the end of the year. The few precious minutes I can manage to stay upright enough to do online stuff (this entry took me three hours to type!) are, until Christmas, reserved solely for trying not to be the worst ever Secret Santa. I may or may not succeed.

THAT SAID, as soon as I'm back in town for the New Year, assuming I survive that long and am not still a total invalid, I will both be tagging stuff back and wanting ALL OF THE THREADS. Sean got shot near the beginning of the month, so I'd love threads with people dealing with the aftermath of that, the Christmas season is DeMarr's busiest time of year what with people dying and all so I'd love to get him out and about, and Reggie/Tracy/Ron will all be getting snowed in at Kagura. INDULGE ME, PLEASE, I'M SICK. :(

It's an RP stuff update! OKAY, SO as you may have noticed, I... pretty much dropped entirely off the face of the planet some time around Valentine's Day, because Olympics. Turns out keeping Russian hours while also holding down a full-time job in North America can take a lot out of you! But that's all said and done now (we kicked so much ass, hahahahaha), and I'm left trying to pick up the shattered pieces of my life.

Tonight and tomorrow, I'll be tagging back everything that's less than two weeks old (UGH), so if that's way too old, I totally understand, just ignore! Anything older than that which anyone wouldn't mind continuing will require giving me a nudge, because the shame of just tagging those ones back out of the blue is too much EVEN FOR ME. Crazy, I know.

Tabs are open, rock and roll. New poll thingy to go up as soon as I'm all caught up.

So it's almost five in the morning, I can't sleep for the life of me, have my first SotP of the year! Appropriately, it is super short and says almost nothing of consequence, but I'm glad I did it, just so y'all can have a vague, weird idea of where I'm at with my brood.

I'm so, so tired.

Okay, ask me things, tell me things, sleep? Sleep.

State of the Pups: October 2013

Just a quick one this month, for The City Never Sleeps.

( Farewell weekend, I hardly knew ye. )

Whilst I'm in the midst of questionable viewing choices and too dozy from even more questionable naps to actually tag, one of those not-quote-an-SotPs. If you have ideas or want details about anything specific between our characters, please do ask~



Tabula Rasa

Wanda: Has pretty much been in crisis mode since getting timelooped (which I still haven't posted because I still haven't written a couple of the middle parts, GO ME) the night of the speeches. Going about her business in spite of ongoing inner meltdown, quietly falling for Bruce, hating her life in general~

Felix: Is Felix.

Madelyne: Heading towards a breaking point, EP next week.

Tracy: Still kinda nebulous.

Reggie: Doing his thing, shenanigans with Kate, my baby.



Darrow

Sean: Possibly getting his shit together re: Meredith? Chronically hopeless.

Reggie: Kinda want to give him a series of EPs where he starts at and quits various dead end jobs. Stuff and things.



Hit me.

State of the Pups: January 2013

Super brief, since I actually wrote this out when I did my TR one a while back and then... forgot to post it? Or something? Whatevs.
