dead guy

Last night, probably around 4 or 5am, I woke up with awful chills. Chills that caused muscle spasms and left me wanting to be put in a coma, because the pain level swung between 7-9. The Stroppy One went and microwaved every buckwheat pillow, put them on me, layered me in blankets, and then took my temperature. Which was normal, so I have no idea why this happened. I did end up having some nausea, but that's probably because I took my Wegovy shot earlier that evening, and I always have nausea the night of.

Oh, and I never got back to sleep. So I'm punchy, kinda-sorta have vertigo, and am in pain because of the terrible muscle cramps last night, all while working! Yeah, the excitement never ends.

In shallow capitalist consumption news, we actually went to a mall on Saturday. We didn't want to, but the Stroppy One needed new shoes, so he needed to go to the Dr. Martens store and try things on. While he was doing that, I scooted over to the MAC store and bought the last tube of "Cyber" lipstick that they had. I was waited on by an ADORABLE goth girl, who was all aflutter about my entire look. At one point she made a little bowing action and declared me her queen. That was nice. 

After I bought lipstick, I joined the Stroppy One at the Dr. Martens store aaannnnnnnd ended up adding some things to the purchase: the Dr. Martens Elphie II Wednesday shoes and a version of this purse that has a black ruffle around the edge on the front. While I'm trying to use smaller purses because less size = less weight = my shoulders don't get as cranky, I have the pink one of this, and I've learned not to overpack it. Also, it will be super useful for the big company kick-off week-long meeting in January, because I've learned I need to have a decently sized notebook with me at all times.

Good god almighty, I feel terrible.

- My endoscopy and colonoscopy came back all clear, yay! 

- I expected to sleep after coming home from the procedures. AHAHAHAHAHAHA no my body didn't want to cooperate. And I certainly didn't sleep during the hours of drinking the prep solution. I ended up being awake, with the exception of the procedures, for something like 36 hours. 0/10, do not recommend.

- The Madwoman in the Attic, during her usual meandering around the internet, found this fabric. She told me how many yards I needed for the high collar dress, and I gleefully bought some. Glow in the dark bats!
