Never make plans. Plans are for people who want to be disappointed.

Well the week hasn't gone anything like how I carefully planned. I went out to Lilies War on Monday, but there wasn't really enough time for anything except to turn around and come back. Plus changing out of my period garb into my work clothes was a time-consuming pain in the ass done in the cramped two-and-a-half foot wide space of a Walmart bathroom stall. Not fun.

I didn't go out yesterday and won't today either. I'm okay with that, just very upset and frustrated to be missing out on the rehearsals and partying that's going on in the evenings. I'll be going out there tomorrow for the first of our two shows and staying the night. Maybe then I can finally have some fun. I've given up on going to any classes. Nice idea but... maybe next year when I can actually be out there some. Trying to shoehorn everything into days where I have to work looked reasonable on paper but it just isn't when you're someone like me who doesn't move places very fast.

We've had plumbing problems here at the house. Today I helped me dad re-arrange the basement so the plumber can get in and re-do the drains for the kitchen and bathrooms. Found a book I've been looking for that I lent to my mom years ago and have been wanting to re-read... riddled with moisture and almost ruined. I've got it spread out face-down on the coffee table hoping it will dry out. Never lend out books unless you're okay with saying goodbye to them forever. There was a cheap used copy at Half-Priced Books. Hopefully it's still there in the event this one isn't salvageable.

At least the moving of the basement didn't take as long as I thought it would. I was dreading it would be an all-day thing. Right now I'm just relaxing. Woke up very tired despite sleeping later than I wanted. Had unpleasant dreams that I can't remember now, figure that might be part of the fatigue.

seems you've been floating above doom lately. I hope it picks back up for you. Nothing is more frustrating than not getting to do what you love.

Honestly I should have just planned this week out better months ago and made sure work would be arranged so I could do this the way I wanted.

I'm sorry things haven't been going in a good way for you. I hope you can sleep better. And that the plumbing gets fixed -- that's a pain the ass.

can you stand the book up? if so, standing it up partially opened will at least allow air to get in between the pages and will speed up the drying time a bit.

Yeah, a lot of the same shit going on for us too. I don't even have the energy to write about it anymore.

Also, sprinkle baking soda in the pages in the book. It will draw out the moisture and remove odors.

I hope things work out and look up. Good luck with the show! And hopefully you'll get the book back into a reasonably good state. Also, you're right about lending books. I gave up on doing that a long time ago. At least I managed to buy a new copy of the Good Omens I lent out years ago. *hugs*

I acquired Good Omens by someone giving it to me. Then I lent it out in turn and never saw it again!

First show was tonight and we blew them away! I am tired, foul-smelling and in great pain and couldn't be happier!
