04:50 pm - Regency Yumminess
To celebrate the A&A downtime being out, I've just bought four metres of cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll - gorgeous embroidered flannel and mean to talk poor ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) squintywitchinto showing me how to make a gorgeous Regency winter dress from it.
Of course, knowing my luck, the player event won't go ahead and I'll die in beautiful flannel dress next July...

Well, I wasn't going to do this.
But then Willow died, and I find I'm having a bit of trouble getting her voice out of my head. So, what the hell?

Mark and I have spent the day looking for various components to build him a facet costume.
Wanting to cover your boyfriend in latex and paint him up isn't all that abnormal, right?
In other news, the process of acquiring kit (or, until I get paid, drooling over kit I can't yet pay for) for Aliens and Alienation continues apace. Thanks to squintywitch 's ingenuity, the basics of mine aren't too bad, but there's still the process finding the correct jackets/spencers/accessories/shoes/shawls, not to mention makeup etc for me, while going through stuff to find a jacket, trousers and shoes of the correct period for Mark is possibly going to be an expensive and frustrating process. Rewarding, for Mr-Darcy-fantasy reasons, though ;)
I can't wait for this!

12:42 am - ...and breathe...
Well, the ksf meeting went okay. Laura, my manager, doesn't seem too worried, for now at least, and she's put some of the training I've been asking for in as an official request, which is heartening. She's setting up a meeting with Garry (my boss), her and me next Wednesday. It's supposed to be all informal and constructive. We'll see.
Stress sucks. Done a good few hours of overtime this week to fit in all the extra work this week. Have had near on two months of horrifically upset stomaches, now got headaches to add to that, and I appear to be back on the three-week period cycle again. My mother wants me to go to my GP and ask for antidepressants. They were the only thing that worked for her, to be fair. I don't really want to. I may suffer some spectacular lows, but I get some amazing highs too. Then, of course, I have days of spiralling guilt and badness for no particular reason, and I think it wouldn't be so bad.
The big thing to take my mind off all of this is that Mark and I have both booked Aliens and Alienation! Poor squintywitch has been getting the end of an immense amount of frockfroth, but she does deserve it, churning the lovely creations out as she does!
I'm also booked to take part in a sleep study. I only hope they let me out again after two nights of recording my brain...
