Let the Weekend Begin.
Welp, what’s going on with me? I haven’t really been sleeping or eating. I dropped roughly 12 pounds in about a week, and I haven’t slept more than 4 hours in a 24 hour time span in nearly 2 weeks. Needless to say, I’m exhausted and everything is taking its toll.
In general, I’m stressed about different things, and I have a full plate ahead of me with ED and FA site work. Plus, of course, my real job and the fact that the season is kicking in and I’ll be working a lot. Therefore, I need to get my shit together and start sleeping and eating again.
I was looking over my fictions, and holy shit, some haven’t updated in SO long. Writing has become harder, since, unlike some, I don’t want to be cookie cutter, so I put a lot of effort into each story. That energy is draining, and combined with block, I find myself taking forever to update -something I swore I’d never do. I want to improve on that, so I picked up a fic I’m 10 months late in updating. With any luck, I’ll be kissing it goodbye shortly. I’m actually going to try and make that a goal. For every chap of something new, I follow it with something older. Who knows, maybe I’ll make a dent in my WIPs. Expect at least one chap this weekend.
I was watching TV and saw a commercial for Dennis Leary’s show, “Rescue Me”. Apparently, it’s about firefighters. The theme song was one of those instant “I love this” moments, so I downloaded it and you’re hearing it now. Isn’t it fun? I love it. Makes me all bouncy. 😛
I finally posted to LJ. It had been weeks. I barely go in there now just because it’s brimming with smegma, but I do have friends there, so I like to say hello every now and again. However, it will be a while before I post again. *shrugs* Not a lot to say, and other than wanting to know how they’re doing, I have no real reason to be there (other than InuRomp).
My friend is going to Japan in like 2 weeks. I told her to bring me back some IY stuff. Squee.
My nee-chan, Ilsa, is making some giftart for me and sent me a sketch. WOW. That’s all I can say. I think I squee’d so loudly my neighbors heard. It’s not colored yet, so I won’t show it, but the drool factor is significant.
Alright, I’m pretty tired. I’m keeping myself up a while longer in an attempt to go to sleep at a decent hour (with the help of Lunesca). We won’t discuss the fact that I didn’t fall asleep until 12:30 this afternoon. Sigh.

Ooh…sooooo, I’ve no idea how to help with block, but the sleep thing (if Lunesca’s not working for you) I might be able to help with! There’s this thing called an “emotibomb”…its looks like a little bar of soap that you take into the shower (the directions’ll say just throw it on the floor, but really you should break into pieces or place it in a soap dish so it’ll last longer) and it releases steam thats supposed to help you sleep. They’re inexpensive, too…only 3/4 dollars a bar. This store called “Lush” sells it (website is lushusa.com if you wanna check it out. They also have two stores in Manhattan…one on Broadway and another on Union Square, the one on Union is bigger ;]). I’ve never actually tried the sleep one, but they have all different kinds including one emotibomb that’s supposed to wake you up (its called “Up You Gets”…isn’t that cute? lol)…which I’ve tried and it works AMAZINGLY. Its all natural and vegan-friendlyish, too
So, there’s that, if you want. You could probably kill your weight-loss problem, too, by whipping up some more of that yummy Puerto Rican food every now and then…good stuff!
And new art? Very cool! I can’t wait to see what your nee-chan comes up with. Hope the weekend goes better than the week, at least (and last weekend). Maybe try taking breaks? Even snagging 5 minutes here and there and “power-napping” can really make a difference. I really hope it all works out for you!

Hey! No pressure to update, sis. Take care of you first. Then worry about everything else.
Heheh… That sketch must be good! Can’t wait to see it… Eh, does your friend have any room in her suitcase? Do you think she’d consider taking me with her?

LOL! She can stuff you into her makeup case!
I definitely want to write this weekend, but I don’t know if it will be tonight. I’m still really tired and I’ve started on that project I told you about, so I’m up to my eyeballs in code again. PLUS, the FA results are in (congrats, sis!) and I need to update that site, too. My chap may not come this weekend after all…

Am! ^^
I’ve never heard of those bars, but I love the idea! I can easily get to the union square store, too. “Ups You Gets” is a scream, lol. I’m gonna grab a bar of that, too! (I can use it for work days -especially those 7am assignments. >.<) I’ll let you know how they work out.
I’m going to give Lunesca a roll tonight because I’ve only had 5 hours over 24 because I had to work today, so I absolutely need some sleep. I’m exhausted! “Power napping” made me giggle. Kinda like power walking, which I hate. (It’s exercise! I’m entitled!)
The new art is awesome. *gasp* I showed her a reference pic of this pose that was hot and she recreated it and made it look even better (Yasha makes everything better!), so I amped to see it colored and yummy-looking. I also found out that my friend, no lie, commissioned 15 different Human InuYasha pictures for me. I just about fainted. O.O
I hope you’re staying dry this weekend! 😀

Hey Girl. I’m not here to give you grief for not taking care of yourself. But I will say that if you need any help with anything, just hit me up. I’ll do what I can 😀 But as for the sleeping, I’m in the same boat. Like I said earlier, I bought some Dollar Store sleeping pills but they did the trick. Problem with those though is they had me groggy for a while today. But I’m good now 😀
Hey, you can only do so much. Don’t sweat the updates if you don’t have it in you at the moment. I agree 100%; writing IS hard. I find writing very difficult. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother. But that’s what we do, right? 😛
I see that show advertised all the time, and while it looks pretty good, I’ve never watched it. Good tune though 😀
Oooooh, new eye candy? I’m sure it’s going to be very drool-worthy. Heh
Well, take care of yourself and like I said, lemme know if there’s anything I can help you out with.

It would have to be a pretty big make-up case! LOL
Yeah, you must be crazy busy right now with the awards and that. I wondered what the hell you were talking about until I got into lj. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d even place… Congrats to you, too, sis. 😀

Yeah, it’s pretty much over with -finally. I updated their site, all but one pic that we’re waiting on, and then it’s officially done. I’m going to work on writing today since I didn’t do jack this weekend. Hopefully I can shove out a chap or two. >.<
