this week's been interesting. Rory was home from work more than i'm used to due to side effects of medication, so we spent like 2 consecutive days on skype, which was pretty fun. talk spanned multiple subjects, but one of them was definitely Pokemon, because after i was inspired to get back to breeding and fill out gaps in my full list. there's currently 718 specimens, and i have 569 of them stored. i have more i'll likely get bred today to fill further gaps, but this has been pretty fun, and a good way to keep myself occupied really while i have to wait on other things.
this week i did finally try to go get my ID renewed, it expired and renewing it wasn't a priority while i wasn't doing anything that needed it. turns out since it's been expired for more than two years, i can't renew it, i have to apply for a new one outright. that wouldn't be a problem but i now have to track down all kinds of documentation to show i'm who i say i am, most of which are a real pain to get without an ID. i have to wait for a copy of my birth certificate to get here (kyu took care of that headache for me), and i have my expired ID and social security card, but i also need proof of residence, so i'll be taking in a copy of our lease (which we're renewing next week) and our last electric bill, which was for some reason in my name? it's annoying overall, but also because it's pausing my job hunt a little more definitively. it'll all be taken care of, but it's not something i thought would be a problem, so it's pretty frustrating to deal with.

more stuff, i guess

quest+ finding a job!
upper+ new fun things!
downer+ negative word back from Kroger
attire+ pajamas
drink+ dr pepper
i spent some of the money Kyu gave me from his tax return on more dolls. two monster girls (Venus McFlytrap and Scarah Screams) and lots of clothes to take advantage of a MH line-wide 25% off Toys R Us was running, then basic Maddie and the two EAH play sets from Mattel.com while they were 20% off. they're due to arrive tomorrow. i'm still trying to figure out just where to display these girls, but i have an idea that may work out, we'll see. i have a definite preference of fairy tale girls over monster girls since my collection numbers 6 (and 2 play sets) to three, but the monsters i do have are really cute: a preppy pink vampire, a green punk plant girl, and a paler green 60s retro-mod banshee.
on another front, i did hear back from Kroger finally, and that job's not mine. i spent time Tuesday at the LDS employment center, so i do have some other leads to pursue. hopefully i'll find something good for me soon.
i suppose to close things out i'll end with pictures. the shot of my EAH girls was up on facebook yesterday, but it's here too for posterity. the shot of my MH girls is new, just for ya'll.

Kyu and i started watching Arrow this last week. it only has a season and a half so i figured it wouldn't take us long to get through it, but we're not caught up yet. probably because we only watch a few episodes at a time. it's really good though, like i know as a comic fan there's tons of awesome nerdy things hidden in the dialog and sets and background designs, but those things aren't anything you NEED to notice to enjoy the show, it just adds a layer of "oh that's awesome!" if you do notice them.
i'm still losing time. i deal better when other people are around and we're doing things, but when i'm alone i keep blinking and realizing an hour (or more) has passed. it makes it harder to do things on my own, or keep to a schedule, i'm trying though. the losing time has doubled up with my raging insomnia to make things difficult, even when i know i should sleep because i have plans at normal-person times the next day i can't, which means i end up loopy and incoherent.
the only other notable thing from this week is Kyu's tax refund hit, so he bought me some dolls as a pre-arranged trade. i had some statues i don't want, and i was thinking of selling. two of them happen to be things he does want, so we agreed he could buy off my wishlist to a price point matching what i payed initially for them. i now own four dolls i want, and he has two statues he wants and we both walk away happy. it's a cell phone pic because my computer's being a butt and not recognizing my camera's SD card, but these are the new girls.
GF Apple White, CA Cupid, Blondie Lockes, and GF Madeline Hatter. the two GF girls are in nightgowns because they're from the sleepwear line, but they were on my list and having them first isn't gonna make getting their everyday looks later any less exciting.

this week was pretty interesting. Tuesday Mom and i ran around for a few hours between her dental appointment and knit night. midweek i downloaded the demo for Bravely Default and beat it, and also downloaded Zelda Four Swords while it was free. i've made significantly less progress there.
Saturday was our quilt class, and also a trip to the Dallas Museum of Art for an exhibit on Ed Hopper's sketches and artistic process. it was really interesting, and i liked having both Jenni and Mom there to talk to about it since we all viewed everything differently. that and visiting the art store with Mom have made me itchy to paint again, so i'm working on clearing space to set up my easel.
the other stuff that's happened this week is the kinda boring stuff i do every week in efforts to continue my recovery to real-person status. it's that stuff that i'm happy to be managing, but it doesn't sound like much when it's said out loud. i think my 2 biggest accomplishments this week both happened Saturday. i rode an elevator twice (with only minor panic) and i complimented a stranger on her shoes! i also figured out how to save incoming pictures to my phone, but that was unrelated to the getting better thing mostly, it was just leaving me frustrated not knowing how since it was left out of the instruction booklet that came with the phone.
