Been icky all weekend, but now am completely full blown sick. Woke up this morning feeling a little better than yesterday then started coughing and thought maybe I should call in to work today, take another to relax and get better since everyone death glares you if you walk into the office with a cough.
Did fine for a few hours then started getting chills and a headache. So now have been running a fever for a few hours. Husband was off work today getting in his end of year vacation days and has been taking care of me. As well he should be since I'm 99% sure I got this from him in the first place. He's had the ick, but not gotten this bad (which is normal for him). He's been the best though. Keeps checking in on me and made me lunch. Ramen & pot stickers. I tell you what though, saltine crackers are the best by far.
So totally sick and doing the right thing. Resting, eating saltine crackers and drinking water. I did before the fever hit get some work done editing a podcast I'm working on with friends. I do still really hope to finish that up before the end of the day.

This whole Thanksgiving thing.
I think last week I was one of the very few people in my building at work that wasn't off at least one day other than Thanksgiving proper (everyone got that off). I spent my whole work week covering for people who were out and we were aweful busy.
Thanksgiving itself was great. Spent time with my husband's family. The whole family because Mama Lynn's whole bunch came over as well. Was happy I was able to help Faythe through some panic attack issues. We spent a lot of time talking. My social anxiety issues have never run nearly as deep as hers, but having had them I have a lot of understanding. My niece Ella and I talked more American Girl talk. She's going to spaz when Christmas comes. Sad to hear it seems they haven't been able to find/haven't un-packed any of their books since they moved this past summer. She was talking about wanting to read them again. Food was good, company was great, and best of all no drama (at least none that I know of or heard).
Woke up Saturday morning and seem to have caught the ick that's traveling around. My mom and Logan have had it most of the week, though it seems I pushed past and nipped the chest congestion in the bud and it's all moved into my nose/head. Got medicine put in me Saturday and went up to Paris to see Dad's extended family for more Thanksgiving. More than half the bunch (almost 50 of us) had the ick. Good to see everyone, even if I'm not very social with any of them. And as usual always great to see my grandmother.
Today, as I said, the ick moved all to my nose/head. Glad not to be caughing, but my head has been baloon like most of the day. Went out for lunch for pho, then did a little more Christmas shopping. After packages arrive by the end of this week I will have the rest of my overseas gifts and will hopefully ship them out next weekend. Had to do my mom's shopping for Pimmy because she wasn't going to send her anything because the shipping is so expensive to Thailand, and I'm all like "Who cares!". I would have sent her something last year except right before Christmas was when all that terrible flooding happened and so she wasn't in a place I could really send anything since everyone was evacuated from their homes. I let her birthday slip up on me last year too. I really have loved having conversations with my sister in law how she thinks Pimmy would love me becuase we seem to have a lot in common (tom boyish girls who like nice dolls). She wanted a blythe, but she's going to have to settle for a Dal. I'm thinking if she thought she liked Blythes, that she's going to really love Pullip dolls. Since I shopped for my mom she's getting one of the Littlest Petshop Loves Blythe sets that comes with a couple pets and a couple changes of clothes for the little Blythe doll.
Other than some Christmas shopping online and off today, I've been sitting around trying to get better, watching Kpop and working on my assignments for DMG. I think I'm cutting it a little close on one of my DMG deadlines, but the time has just been terrible for me. I didn't know when I took my current assignments I'd be moving and all the other mess that's gone on. Anyways not much else to go on about. Need to get back to DMG work, so off I go!
Well I did go away a moment then I remembered other things... I got the newest member of my doll family this past week. My SOOM Goss, his name is Torrance (Tori for short). I also was super thrilled on Black Friday. The only place I shopped was the US H.naoto web store in which I picked up a couple new tops, a pair of socks and some earrings. I was soooo stupidly thrilled to get a shirt I've been eyeballing for almost half off. I look forward to getting it becuase it's just so pretty.... Okay, that that was really all my other exciting news.

Long long weekends...
It's been quite a while since I've really updated and a lot has gone on. Due to circumstances I don't really want to talk about, 90% of my things are in a storage unit and the husband and I are currently STILL living with my parents instead of moving back in our friends house. We are currently now seeking a 3 bedroom place. Aiming more toward a condo or townhome, though a house is not completely out of the question.
Had some good doll things that have been keeping me rolling pretty strong and have helped out with stress. I recently received my Asleep Eidolon Yao who is named Derisa. I really love him and can't wait until I find the time to get a face-up on him. The reason he doesn't have one already is that I've been working on a commisson on a Volks Kohya head, sadly just a little bit at a time between getting everything packed and moved and all the crazy stressed out and fatigued days. I still technically have to put a face on Kataega, our Migidoll Miho vampire, before I can get to Derisa. Finished the Kohya head today but next up is a Hujoo Wings commission. So much work to get done, but I'm really happy that the official move actually is done and now the house hunting can commence and honestly I feel like I'm finally gonna have a little extra time.
Though I do also still have to get caught up on my work for Digital Manga Guild. I don't think I'm completely behind, I just wanted to have more done by now. Deadline for first book is up in about a month so I think so long as I get more diligent about it I won't be too bad off.
I'm having a good day just de-stressing even if it's meant we spent a bit more money than we really needed to eating out this weekend. We had our sushi dinner at Sapporo we wanted Friday night, had QT corn dogs for breakfast Saturday, then we fed our whole moving crew decent cheap Chinese food, then went out with another friend to Chili's later that night. We actually did breakfast at home this morning, then hit a Carl's Jr for lunch, then our fave pho place on the way back from seeing a friend this afternoon for dinner. Then we went to target and shopped... We ended up with far more than what we went in for, but many of them are useful.
Got home just in time to catch Walking Dead. Tonight's ep was gorier than most others. Last week's ep was sooo freakishly emotional I just didn't know what was going to happen this week, but as usual they leave us hanging. Only show I watch and follow at actuate air times these days and I really do enjoy it even if it mildly creeps me out and I have to find a few things to watch or read to "buffer" between the show before going to bed.
Speaking of reading, went on a hunt to a few B&Ns today in search of Bakuman vol 16 without any luck. Know it came out this past week, but couldn't find it. However got and devoured Blue Exorcist vol 8 that showed up from Amazon Saturday.
On notes of shipping I'm waiting for 2 doll orders right now, one from Dollmore which has been stuck in customs in Chicago since last Sunday & another from SOOM that arrived to the same customs office yesterday. Now I'm just waiting to see which of them actually gets released first. I've never had customs hold onto anything for so long as long as it has been with this dollmore order. Me and everyone else on the order would really like our stuff.
Anyways, I suppose that's about enough rambling for tonight. I'll seriously try to keep better updated in the future, but meh, this always seems to happen with me and blogs. Off to read another chapter of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms then go to bed. Tomorrow is Veteran's day which means my job will be a bit light because it is a postal holiday and most of my projects are mail that comes in from the usps. However there's another project that we will get that comes in through fedex and they don't stop operations for it so yay? Wish me luck, Tuesday will definitely be hell-ish.
