I wish I could do this in real life for all my friends and family, since my financial situation is such that I am contemplating actually making gifts, since I can't afford to buy anything. But I have no gift-making skills! I used to cross-stitch when I was eight or so, and my friend A. gave me knitting lessons about eighteen months ago, but of course I've forgotten how to do both. What can I do? I can sew buttons on! And make chocolate chip cookies! Maybe I could give all friends and family a button-sewing-on IOU and a cookie?
Anyway, here's my stocking:
I came down with a stomach virus over the weekend that took all of my energy, so I accomplished next to nothing when I had hoped to accomplish a lot. Right now I'm in that recovery period when food isn't that appealing, and I'm hoping to reboot my digestive system and train myself into better eating habits. I try to do this every time I get a stomach bug, and for the first two days, I'm all, "OMG, I'm a changed woman! I'm satisfied with a small portion! I feel no need for salty, fatty foods!" And then I fully recover and my id starts up all, "BUTTER!! SALT!! CHOCOLATE!! COMPLEX SUGARS!! TRANS FATS!! NOW!!!!"
We shall see.
On Saturday morning, just before the virus struck, I went and got my hair done. I bit the bullet and finally got permanent dye put on my hair, and also got the most drastic haircut I've gotten in probably three or four years. My hair's texture has changed in the last six months for some reason, so that while it used to be pretty super-curly, it's gone back to a strong wave. I keep trying to figure out why, but there are a multitude of variables! Has anyone else had this happen?
I think I will poll this out, because paragraphs take too long and I have to go take one of the cats to the vet.
