bah, meme

Restless. I want to go somewhere but I can't think of anywhere to go. Don't want to write. Finished the Stephen King [excellent, btw]. Was looking at my hair products and got a little sad. It'll come back, it'll come back. In six months - I hope they don't get all goopy before then. Maybe I'll just take a run to Target. Exciting, no? Aw, fuck, I'm old. Ten years ago I would have been getting ready to go to Pulse, but I don't go to clubs anymore.

My mom is coming for a visit on June 4. That's the day after my last chemo, and I'll probably have to go for radiation soon after, so the timing is kind of sucky. But it'll be nice to see her. Then yaoichick is coming mid-July, so that will be awesome. Woot. Hope I'll have some energy to do stuff. I'll still have to stay out of the sun [because of chemo drugs I have to play vampire for the next couple of months] but hopefully we can find things that don't require us to be outside. I've already taken her to the Nuclear Science museum, which is pretty cool, so we need new places to go. We've been to Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Madrid...we'll figure something out. Or just hang out and watch Japanese boylove movies. :D

I had my performance evaluation on Thursday and got a lot of "exceeds." I suspect I got a pity boost, but not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I hope to return to work in July. I need structure. When I was first recovering from surgery and going to chemo I didn't care about the time off because I needed it and felt like shit, but now - I definitely need to go back to work.

Except now I have no work wardrobe. And not really sure how to build one now. I got a couple of really swank shirts and a couple of pairs of work-worthy trousers, but I'm at that interstitial stage where I'm too old for stuff like Simply Be, as pretty as a lot of it is, and too young for...I dunno, Chico's or whatever. I went to J. Jill to look at clothes, but it's too expensive and too granola for me. Lane Bryant is a polyester nightmare, and their clothes are so poorly made. Avenue stuff is mostly gross and cheap [although I have a couple of good bras from there]. I have a couple of maxidresses from last year that still look okay if I wear a jacket over them. I've had good luck at the thrift store, so fuck it, maybe I'll wear thrift store clothes for the rest of my life. I'm all right with that.

I watched every Office episode on Netflix. I still want to screw Dwight Schrute.

Anyway - a statistics meme I snaked from a couple of people. Is this a thing? Since I only have 9 fics posted at AO3, there's no point in doing the five lowest/highest. I'll put it behind a cut so you don't have to look at it. I would not blame you if you didn't.

Off to Target, I guess. I need Claritin anyway.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with thrift shop for the moment. I've had some really good finds, and I've always been a careful shopper, so should be okay. :D

Thank you! And yes, I totally agree. If I worked from home I'd do nothing but watch TV and eat, I swear.
