Executive decision
I'm taking tomorrow off work. Not sure what I'll do, but I won't be doing it here. Of course, all plans could change. The secretary across the hall just left feeling ill. If I come down with this flu bug I'll be spending my day off in the bathroom.
But anyway, yes, tomorrow: Not At Work.
Had an eye exam yesterday and ordered my new glasses. The old ones were three years old and the prescription was a little too strong (my eyes are getting "better" which really just means more farsighted than nearsighted). Cow (as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stuology says), glasses are expensive. I'd forgotten. The irritating part is KU's insurance pays a percentage of your eyewear but a flat $150 for contact lenses--your choice--once a year. Since I had my own frames, the percentage would only have been about $87. I have to get new contacts this year, too, so I paid the $160 for my glasses (thank gods I only spent $12 on the frames!) and I'll use the $150 to pay for my contact lenses in March. Grrr. Not where I wanted to spend my money. (Hint: anyone planning to come to Aladdin tonight, feel free to bring a couple bills for tipping--I could use it *g*) The new frames are really cute, though. Another cat-eye pair from a thrift store. These are a dark greeny-gray with a very few tiny pink rhinestones and little silver dots. A couple of the dots are missing but I can fix that with some paint. I'm hoping darker frames on my face will make the fact that my Hair Looks Like Crap less noticeable.
Actually, the hair doesn't look too bad yet. But give it time. I imagine come March friends will be carrying berets and stocking caps in their cars with them in case I show up to an event without my own headcover.
I actually painted my nails for tonight's Aladdin gig. You know that's special, folks. And I'm going to try a little costuming something I saw onroya_spirit's Bellydance Superstars video last night. It'll be a surprise. Hopefully. Teh sexxay, IMO. I also might head out to Walgreen's after work to find some shiny glassy lipgunk. I want Inara lips when I'm dancing. I wonder how I can keep the gunk from migrating to the rest of my face, though. Lotsa powder, I guess. So yeah, those of you who make it to Aladdin tonight might get treated with some new costuming and makeup stuff. Oh, and the fingernails: purple.
EDIT: I wish she was my Senator.
