Happy Halloween

[pipistrellafelix]

So it's my favorite day...more or less, since the idea of dressing up in costumes is something I adore. I never got a Carmen Sandiego hat, though, so that went off the tracks, & I was really sad about that...I wanted to pull together an aviator costume (both for St. Therese, patron saint of aviators, for the All Saint's Party tomorrow, and because I want one generally), but that didn't happen either. So I'm Death, a little less Victorian than last time, but it still worked out okay.
Also I got 99% on a test I wasn't sure I'd do well on at all, so that was awesome.

But then I had a total breakdown over stress and how on earth I'm supposed to pay for the rest of school & the fact that I can't find my fucking ballot anywhere even though I never even opened the envelope, and my room at home is entirely a disaster & my mess is spreading all over the house.
I just can't get it together right now. I feel like I'm stringing myself along & managing to finish day to day things so I'm not failing, but nothing's getting done in the bigger picture--I haven't had a moment to start thinking about honors (which is a whole ridiculous post unto itself, revision-wise), I haven't been able to plan for anything, I haven't had a chance to clean my room even. I just want things to be organized. I want to slow down for a little while & actually enjoy where I am instead of rushing to do something else. I don't need all this stuff...simple is okay.


But anyway...Kacey & I are going to do our Halloween Edition of the Broadway Hour, so that's exciting. & I have no time for homework tomorrow, but that's because I'm going to SSC's Henry IV, which I am super stoked about. Things will be okay. I just need to keep everything in hand.

I was feeling exactly like this earlier in the week, exhausted and starting to flirt with a head cold. So I called in sick to work yesterday. Objectively I got very little work done on the projects that are stressing me out, but I 1) made a plan about the work 2) cleaned my room, and the messy messy kitchen and 3) Watched junky tv and took a nap. It helped SO much.

So yes, I fully endorse saying 'the hell with it' to all your plans/routines once in a while. It just...makes things feel more spacious, somehow. *hugs* and I hope you feel better soon!

In other news, I miss you!!

Yeah...I'm having the cold of the head now too, so I guess that doesn't help either.

Things are a little better though...chocolate helps!

& I miss you too! Man...it has been a long time.
