Stuff and more stuff

I woke up too full of vertigo until caffeine and B vitamins and pain drugs happened, and also Rose kitten was sitting on my torso. I ran errands, bought a smoothie from the very new very awesome Mr. Smoothie shop in Rockville (acai pomegranate with five supplement powders), decided said smoothie was lunch, got home around seven, greeted the extremely joyful cats and fish, ate bread with cheese for dinner, am now devouring Seanan McGuire's "Ashes Of Honor" (book six of the October Daye series), will soon declare bed because exhaustion and of course pain.

OMG, you guys, check out this nail color! The application was messy and silly because I'm spastic and trembly, but I did it!
It's the nail polish I got from Roots Organic Market: No-Miss One-Coat Polish in Riverview Rave 401, which is a very dark deep purple with blue shimmer. It reminds me of aubergine. Yummy eggplant.
When they said "one coat" they weren't kidding. It's really thick and intense. It dries quickly and makes my nails feel silky. And since it doesn't contain the smelly chemicals that other nail varnishes contain, it smells fairly nice. I had no idea that nail polish contained formaldehyde until I saw this stuff. No wonder nail salons always make my head hurt.

You'll notice that there's some polish all over my cuticles. That was deliberate, so my subconscious OCD monster won't pick and rip at dead skin until I get hangnails and open wounds. I don't bite my nails, I rip up the cuticles. It gets annoying, especially when I develop mild paronychia in my index fingers and middle fingers and thumbs. I'm hoping that the paint will make all that stop so I can properly moisturize and nourish my hands without needing to treat infections in my fingers.

The photo looks slightly blurry because my hands were shaky, but the color came out beautifully. I'm so proud of myself! This is a major accomplishment, you guys. Anything I do that overpowers my fine motor coordination crippledness is a major accomplishment.

Also, in case you were curious, the gemstones in those silver-wrapped rings are: three pyrope garnet stones on my right hand, and a light blue kyanite center stone with lapis lazuli side stones on my left hand. Handmade by an online friend.

To paraphrase a rather obscure Futurama quote:

I should be sleeping. I'm not sleeping!!

*sounds of leather whipping and Zoidberg whooping*

Some days I truly do feel like Bender. Other days I'm a blend of Amy, Fry, Zoidberg, Kif, Scruffy, Nibbler, Hedonismbot, and Al Gore's Head.

Time for deep transcendental meditation and valerian. And possibly Flexeril and Klonopin, depending. Last night's anxiety attack was really really... not good. Mild insomnia combined with major anxiety is... bad brain, no smart-making. Brain did not brain nicely at all. Brain had better brain better tomorrow.
