I'm getting a tad nervous now. I mean, my surgery is only 12 days away. I should have given myself a slightly larger buffer before-hand, but with the way FMLA works, I can't take time off before the procedure, and I only have a week of vacation. I can tell I'm slightly stressed because my blood pressure keeps spiking erratically. Either that, or Bohun Upas causes blood pressure spikes. It's not unheard of, but lex parsimoniae indicates it's stress more than a smidge of some oil in a perfume. I need to stop worrying about the money most of all, because it's becoming cyclical, which means it could become a habit, and I broke that habit last year.

I just don't feel like I have enough time to get anything done that I want to get done, which includes cleaning some of the larger portions of the house and getting my hair dyed purple. I'm debating about bleaching it tomorrow & going to work as a bleach blonde.

I've been working on patterns for my next embroidery project, which is adding some sugar skulls to a white linen shirt. I had bought a bunch of designs from urbanthreads, but when I started doing the tracing with the transfer pencil, I realized that I didn't want to use the designs the skulls came with, so I started doodling on them. Then I decided I didn't want just a bunch of medium-to-small skulls floating around on the shirt, I wanted at least one big one. So I'm working on that tonight during my lunch break. The pattern's in three pieces because my tracing paper isn't big enough :P
