downer+ this week has had a ridiculous drama threshold
attire+ jeans and a wwTX volunteer tee
drink+ sprite
blarg. this week has just been one bad thing after another for most of the family, i guess. X.x there's monday's super secret(ish) moose-related drama, and tuesday nothing went super-wrong really, but we got in about 13 thousand comics for Free Comic Book Day '08 on top of our usual tuesday workload..
today poppa's stupid choices caught up with him, inconveniencing me, kyu, tiff and snappy, mom, and jenni. kyu and i had to have tiff and snappy take us to the parking lot where dad's car was to pick up harley, or they were going to send her to the pound. (rude!) i'm thankful that they were willing to help, especially since tiff lives in either grand prairie or mansfield. (she lives in one and her mom's in the other and i switch them) she even offered to take us home again tomorrow if mom couldn't handle it. kyu went to get mom to help retrieve the car, and they pulled jenni in from there. go dad. -.-; i'm so frustrated with him that at this point i have no desire whatsoever to even try to help him. i feel bad for making kyu take care of things, but i'm at the point where i just can't handle dealing with anything else that matters. tomorrow i'm gonna go in to work (ridiculously early since we'll be catching a ride from mom. thanks though, mom!) and i'm gonna operate almost entirely on autopilot. fortunately it doesn't take much cognitive effort to slap labels on FCBD books, i labeled 440 issues of jughead in 35 minutes this afternoon. *sigh*
this just drives home the whole needing some time to myself thing. i don't care how utterly selfish it makes me, all this is happening all around me, and i want to be strong and be there for people, but i'm at my limit. i need to melt down, and i can't do that with people around me. i need a week of time where no one needs me for anything so i can stew and think and melt and vent and rebuild, and if i decide i want company, i can ask for it, but if i don't want it, everyone will leave me alone. that's what would be wonderful to me right about now.on an unrelated almost-upper, i've been working on a series of dolls of black canary's costumes through the decades. i'm having fun with it. it might even get done enough to post by the end of the month. who knows. xD
ooh! AND recently buddy (who owns lone star) bought this guy's lifelong action figure collection for super cheap, in it was this amazing set of the birds of prey, oracle, huntress and black canary. the set does for between $160 and $200 on ebay, but buddy said i can buy it for just 100! xD i know most of you are probably thinking "? $100 for a toy??" but it averages out like buying three separate figures at retail after tax. the best part is that he said he trusts me enough that he let me bring it home today, and i can pay him in a week when i have the cash. i have the most awesome boss ever! i really wanted the set because i'm like 95% positive it's the only oracle figure ever produced. considering when it was made, it has really good articulation too! xD
