I'm surviving....
What I had hoped would be a wonderful productive weekend was not at all. I managed to make dinner and knit 3 inches on a sock. That was it.
Friday was a big day and I think I just over did thing? I had a facial which ended up being a derma plan session which was fine. I needed that. Then I got my toes done and my fingernails stripped of the manicure from Bob's wedding. This meant I was running about 15 mins late to my tattoo appt. I figured out during the pedicure my nerves were very sensitive. Everything tickled which was weird. So heading in I did warn Gail and man did things hurt. We did not finish. But I think we have 3 hours left which are scheduled for May 30th. Its pretty and I like it but damn did it hurt. The coloring on the raven is amazing and the Glads turned out lovely. New photo here with a comparison of where we left off in December. That was 5 hours plus of work. Maybe I was having a hard time since Ari was working and I was by myself and my book which I've not just deleted was bad. Whispers of Death is a 1/2 read for my total. I got 48% and it hit a scene I could not deal with and made no sense for where we were at and made too much sense and I squicked out. I then pulled up the 3rd book in the Guild Codex (#8 of the year)and that was just fine and I'm now 56% though it and much happier.
So as I was leaving I asked Mel the dinner plan and he asked what I wanted and I said little fishes and Benton was game so they met me at Sushicho and we had a nice dinner. We got home and I think I made it just a little bit before heading to bed at 9pm. I slept badly and could not get comfortable. I was miserable from sitting for the tattoo and my leg and hips had already hurt before that. I tossed and turned and had stoopid not scary nightmares but anxiety inducing ones. I could not get comfortable and I was miserable. Mel woke me up at 8am asking if I was heading to teh college event, which I had planned on going to, and I said no cause I had slept so bad. I could have dealt with the discomfort and aches but not the not sleeping part. He was okay with that and said "okay, leaving you home."
So I slept for a bit longer, had a very luke warm, slow shower and got the back cleaned up from the tape and saran wrap. It felt good even though I would have liked to bake in a hot shower...my skin was not up for that. I then ensconced myself on the couch with some coffee and read on my phone or played games for quite some time. Then Benton walked into the kitchen. I was very confused. Mel had said he was leaving me home, not Benton as well. And Benton was mad he didn't get a wakeup to get going. I don't blame him at all for being mad but I'm glad I didn't decide to walk around the house nude or something since I thought I was home by myself. sighs. We vegg'd on the couch watching things on TV I don't even know what at this point. Benton played on his switch and built lego stuff. I got a text that Mel had gotten the Glory of Atenveldt for the Chivalry. I'm sad to have missed that but i was miserable.
Mel got home about 445pm and I got to making dinner at 5pm. He was tired, had fought both a heavy and rapier tourney and wasn't slouching at all in either. I made pasta with ground beef and fresh basil and yeah it was tasty. Mel was very happy to not cook. We watched something that night but I don't know what. I had a few beers, food and then hit bed earlyish again but I still slept like crap. I could not be comfortable and I woke up at like 7am and was just done with trying to sleep. I lazed about reading after rubbing more hustle butter into my tattoo. I had plans that just dissolved into Stardew Valley and stuff on my phone. We did start watching movies with Emperors new groove, followed by the Princess Bride. Mel was starting dinner prep in the kitchen when he heard the nintendo music and went "oh! Princess Bride!" and Benton was so confused at how he could get a move from weird electronic noise. lol. he did not realize it was 8-bit "take me out to the ball game".
We had nummy pizza for dinner that mel made in the ooni. It was tasty and he's really gotten the round on the dough down. I appreciate him immensely. We then started watching Willow cause Disney+ suggested it and well Val Kilmer just died and yeah.
Benton started watching and then headed to the shower and then wehn he came back was confused the movie was still on and then started asking questions non-stop. The teenager got sent to their room after we repeatedly told him asking questions and talking during movies is forbotten and there is a special place in hell for him. When you willfully leave in a movie you don't get to ruin it for the rest of us. Yes your dad and I have seen it more than you've been alive. That doesn't matter. I had pulled out the second sock of mel's during Princess bride and I kept plugging away at it off and on and put 3 inches on it. So I at least did something productive. I know...I'm healing but I was so useless.
I did manage to sleep good last night I think I need to flip our mattress and get new pillows again. I used my big squishmallow for my knees and wow my hips don't hurt this AM. Course besides Costco, I will check there first, where does one get pillows now that I'm boycotting non DEI places like target? Sighs. But I woke up feeling less like ass and my hips didn't hurt which has been glorious and I slept.
But work is a mess and I'm suriving and my spreadsheet and the finance spreadsheets don't agree but its their fault not mine! But then I had to wait two hours while they fixed it so now I can use things correctly. Sighs.
