That new med had me stumbling around like a drunk person trying to get to bed. Seriously, I felt drunk. Or.... Like a totally aware drunk, if that makes sense.

I somehow managed to get the TV on, and put the Heat pack on my back, and I don’t think it was two minutes afterward I was out cold.

But here I am, 2:30 in the morning. I woke up around 1:30, got a drink of water, hit the loo, and crawled back in bed. I thought for sure I’d fall right back to sleep. I didn’t feel drunk anymore, but that “I’m tired and will fall right back to sleep” feeling.

That feeling lied to me. First I couldn’t get comfortable, then I had a hot flash and had to strip off my PJ’s before I burst into flames, then I got cold. All of that pissed me off so I went and had a cigarette. Shouldn’t have done that. It woke me up enough that I know I won’t fall back to sleep if I tried. Laying in bed will just annoy me because everything hurts and I can’t get comfortable.

Right now, I’m on youtube looking at Halloween makeup tutorials. A lot of them have you do normal, pretty, eye shadow and contouring along with some gory soda can stuck in your face thing. I can’t do normal makeup. I’d need someone to do that part for me, so I’m still leaning towards the one that uses masking tape and a rather large amount of liquid latex. I just wish I knew what she made the teeth out of. I need to look around at stuff and see what I could use. But the look is creepy enough without the teeth, so if I can’t figure it out, I’ll be fine.

I’m not sure if we’re doing the Witches and Wine thing this year. Pam doesn’t get into stuff like that. She really surprised me last year when she dressed up as a witch doctor and went with me. I haven’t brought it up to her. I probably should.

If we go, what I would like to do is go as a … I guess a green witch. “Green” meaning nature based beliefs and magic. I would love to have my dress from Holy Clothing altered to actually fit me, find someone that’s good with regular makeup do my face with some embellishments. Like vines, or twigs or something. I’ll have to get a pretty wig. Not sure if I want to go with just a basic blonde, or if I want purple, or… no, can’t do green. It would clash with the dress, which is a sage color. Hm. What would look good with sage? Maybe just regular ol’ brown. Earthy. I have elf ears on my Halloween wish list on Amazon that I would want to wear. Get some flowers and other stuff from the florist to stick in my hair. Maybe even stick some on my forearms… or wrap them in vines? Oooh. a nice manicure with fake nails would look good. If I was an artist I would just draw vines on my arms. Or, one arm. Again, I’m not good at that kind of stuff.

Eh. I shouldn’t be thinking about all of that. We’re probably not going. I shouldn’t get excited about making up a costume to an event we’re not even attending.

I’m still going to call … hold on. let me look for the name. Ah. Bonnie’s Sewing Center. I’m not even sure if the place is still open. Anyhoo, I’m still going to call or stop by or whatever I need to do just to see how much it would cost to have the dress altered. I’m sure it’s gonna be expensive.

This is the dress I have

When I bought it I was heavier, so it would have to be taken in, obviously, but it’s shortening it that will cost because of the decorative hemline. I’m just curious on the price. One of these days I might have a chance to wear it. It would be nice if it was ready to wear.

I guess I’m going to make some coffee. There’s no way I’m falling back to sleep tonight.
