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.
