Bizarro week

valis2I am really scratching my head at the universe.
I've managed to give myself half a black eye (with my own finger, no less). I had a dream which was so sad I woke up crying. I've had neck pain, back pain, and guilt from a friend. I've been so damned sleep deprived, and been woken up countless times by Husband (accidentally). It's like we've never shared a bed before, despite having shared one for seven years.
The giant Riptide story has become inaccessible in my head. I don't know what happened. I have six pages of notes, I'm totally ready to finish it, but my brain has seized and is excited by other things. (Don't worry, I will eventually get my ducks in a row with it. However, I don't think it's possible to post it before I leave on my trip, so it'll have to wait until late June. Which makes me more emo.)
Geese Wars is continuing on our back lawn and in the pond. Complete with massive rounds of honking.
I am fascinated with Dreamwidth, yet I am groaning at having yet another journalling service to watch. I am valis2 over there. I think I will use it to back up this journal for now.
My grandmother has fallen twice in her Assisted Living apartment this week. The second time, she had to be taken to the hospital. I was going to visit her after work yesterday, but found out she was in transit back to the apartment, and I had eBay listings to finish and so I will visit her this weekend instead. Probably tomorrow.
My only first cousin is pregnant, and it's a huge surprise to everyone except her. She's going to be induced tomorrow, which is the day of the impromptu baby shower that is being thrown by her mother. I got the invitation on Tuesday. Should be a strange event.
EBay continues to be odd. Auctions aren't doing that well, but the store is still holding. I think I might cautiously expand my store inventory over the summer and see what happens.
I just feel very topsy-turvy right now. Emotional. I have another very long business trip coming up, and I'm just...sad. I haven't accomplished anything. Well, except writing 37k. That was pretty nice, but it's not feeling that fantastic at the moment because it's just...stopped. This is such a common cycle for me--procrastinate, prepare to leave for trip, go crazy with guilt and run around like an idjit just before walking out the door.
I think I want the week to be over. I don't want to redo it. I just want it done. *sighs*
ETA: Oh, and a customer just emailed me to say that she won't be able to purchase from me for a while because she's broke.
And then she lists a bunch of things she wants to buy from me now, and I should invoice her. Um, what? Is this a weird ploy to get a price break? I don't understand.

Date: 2009-05-01 05:47 pm (UTC)Unfortunately, this next business trip is the nearly the most stressful of them all; it's a month of activity--three weeks of prep, and then one week of twelve-hour, gung ho, breakneck days of stress and work. To say I'm dreading it is an understatement. Sure, there's a lot of fun to be had, too, but it's just so much work. grah!

Date: 2009-05-01 07:25 pm (UTC)I know how you feel about your eye. I managed to give myself a huge bruise on my arm because apparently I can't walk even through an open doorway any more without hurting myself. (In my defense: I was carrying a huge sack of potatoes.)

Date: 2009-05-01 07:32 pm (UTC)I once nearly broke my hand--I was carrying 40 lb lead weights, one in each hand, and I forgot about the side view mirror of my car, and hit the back of my hand square on the edge as I was swinging one of the weights. Excruciating. I think I did some nerve damage--it was tender and awful for months.
And let's not talk about running into walls! lol.
