Isn't it always the case

Y'all, I am so tired and my innards are all fucked up and I leave for Atlanta in twenty hours and uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

The tiredness is due to early morning thunderstorms because otherwise I've been sleeping really well thanks to resuming the progesterone treatment. The fucked up innards are due to resuming the progesterone treatment. I'm having out-of-cycle spotting and minor menstrual cramping a week after my period ended again. Right on schedule, same as last time. So it looks like I have the choice of sleeping and spotting/cramping or exhaustion and a regular cycle.



I shipped my progesterone tincture to the hotel (along with a dozen cans of sardines and other food) but now I'm thinking I won't take it because god knows I won't be sleeping regularly at the con, anyway.

Also, this morning I clocked myself on the jaw with my umbrella handle (don't ask) and now I have a bit of a goose egg just to the left of my chin. Awesome. I can't wait for it to start to discolor. It'll be kind of cool for the bare-bones Sebastienne Moran cosplay I was convinced to pack and will be wearing on Saturday, but otherwise it's stupid and annoying.

In the OH FUCK NO column, we have this little gem that I found on Tumblr today.



From the original post: These cute metal creatures aren’t simply minimal modern sculptures. They’re an awesome series of CCTV cameras created by Italian designer Eleanor Trevisanutto to look like perching animals - squirrels, birds, lizards and insects. They were designed for Parson, an Italian company working to make electronic surveillance less obtrusive and more stylish.

My response: An Italian company working to make electronic surveillance less obtrusive and more stylish. Electronic surveillance. Less obtrusive. More stylish. DOUBLE PLUS UNGOOD, Y’ALL. Double plus fucking ungood.

ETA: Oh oh oh! I almost forgot. I got a gel/shellac manicure yesterday and while I'm happy with the color, I am not happy with the execution. The color is slightly streaky and the nail on the middle finger of my left hand is slightly cloudy and bulged due to the top coat being applied unevenly. Of course I couldn't tell this in the lighting of the salon, but once I was driving in the car it was really obvious. I turned the car around and went back, but the nail tech was already in a session with another client and couldn't fix it (I guess she was the only nail tech working? I don't know). This is the third unsatisfactory salon service in a row I've had a Beauty Brands. I shan't be going back for anything except product purchases. Very disappointing, because their employees used to be really good.
