today i had a two-hour choir practice, so i now have at least a passing knowledge of all the songs we'll be singing in a week. really i should probably run through them all every day this week, i wanna be sure i know them.

my Thanksgiving weekend was a good one. i spent it at mom's, and we got a lot done. so much that i'm feeling a little sore still today. i don't really think about how hard we're working while it's happening, it all seems minor until i'm back home and the fatigue has time to bloom or something. xD

today i'm up early enough to post this before we leave for game day! it's been a while since that happened.

my weekend's been pretty chill so far. i've been working on small projects and reading the discoveries about Pokemon ORAS since neither Kyu nor i can afford it presently. it looks awesome, and i'm really looking forward to when we can finally get them. it may not happen soon as i'd like, but we both want it too much for it not to happen at all. mostly i've been folliwing the discovery and discussion threads on Serebii (rather the Serebii forums) since it's more accurate and less prone to flailing than the tumblr tags, but it's been amazing so far and i'm really, REALLY looking forward to playing, eventually.

cause we're young and we're reckless (we'll take this way too far)

my routine changed on Sunday, so i totally forgot it was Sunday, and thus totally forgot to post. oops. xD

Kyu's insomnia acted up and we both woke late, then he decided he'd really rather stay home than head up for game day. which i was fine with, but that had my brain thinking it was a Saturday until i got a reminder text from Michelle about Stake Choir Practice. i did okay, so i'm sticking with it through the Christmas program in a month.

otherwise the extractions at the dentist Thursday went fine. the sensitivity is nearly gone now. just momentary twinges really. i go back this Thursday for the other half of the cleaning, but recovery from that will be much less intense, i should think. xD

my week was surprisingly eventful.last Sunday night i finally hit my pain threshold and asked mom for help getting my dental stuff taken care of. Monday held a consultation to plan out what'll be happening, i start by going back Thursday well into my dosage of antibiotics, after that we'll see about scheduling my next appointment. there will be several to get everything back to optimal again.

last Thursday i had lunch with Michelle, which was fun. it had been a while since our last lunch meeting, even though we'd met up for other things in the interim. Friday i got With Jenni to sew our blocks, and we also ran some other errands. i helped get ready for her ward's trunk or treat and hit that with her, it was a success, i think.

yesterday Mom picked me up and we finished clearing off two of her living room walls and got a solid base coat of paint on the ceiling. we had to stop when it got dark though, most of the light sources had been removed to avoid paint drips, so it required daylight for further progress if we wanted anything close to even coverage. xD that first coat looked pretty solid though. go us!

took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer

upper+ good things are happening lately
downer+ off-and-on toothache

my birthday was a good one this year. Thursday i did lunch with James, Friday i had texts and facebook messages from pretty much everyone and i hit the Trunk or Treat, yesterday was the Halloween Comic Fest, and i made about $45 in tips.

really the off-and-on tooth pain has been so intense lately that at times i'm having trouble with coherent thought, so this entry is short because the words i need keep floating just beyond where i can think them. maybe i'll try again midweek.

the rest of the world was black and white, we were in screaming color

song+ Out of the Woods -Taylor Swift -1989

so today as a game day will have a slightly different order of events than normal. Wild West is hosting their own game day of sorts with all kinds of other stuff going on, so there really won't be room for us, instead we're heading to Kieth's house and the guys are playing some huge thing on the game table his dad built for him. i'm still taking my art bag and planning to work otherwise.

yesterday was a good day. i feel like mom and i got a lot done even if it took a long while to actually get to the painting part, and some things went wrong in the process. the halls are pretty much done, so mom can put the new flooring down this week and not have to worry about paint drips or whatever.

i'm sure there's more to be said, but mornings and i, we're not on the friendliest of terms. ugh. xD

i try to picture me without you, but i can't

a midweek post? what sorcery is this? xD

i spent the early part of this week doing preparation for the art stuff i'll be doing on the 25th. i definitely still need to work on the sketch practice, but i have my watercolor paper cut neatly into 5x7 pieces. i cut some scrap material to the same dimensions so i can get a handle on scaling my sketches properly for that size paper, and i know that's what i really should be doing right now, but i just don't want to yet?

i also got the shelves that mom bought for me (back when i spent the weekend helping with paint-y things) hung up. they're not perfectly level, because my spazzy muscles were being dumb, but they're close enough that nothing will roll off or fall over, and that's enough for me. i also managed not to hurt myself wielding power tools, so yay for that too! the only downside really is that with the space i spread my MH/EAH dolls out according to release line and it makes it look like i have WAY less. my poor Hat-tastic Briar is all by herself since i don't have any others from that line yet. i dunno maybe around Christmas i'll take a picture to show just how far i've come in a year, since i got my first (sig Raven) for Christmas last year.
