Efreet has (finally) sold! :)

I am excited! My Efreet sold, so I can now (as soon as he arrives safely in his new home) order Simon Oliver's brother Owen Sebastian.

Owen will be this sculpt, and styled with similar eyes and RED hair.


I have also decided to get Crunchy's body with my tax return, and maybe an order of clothes (for Owen Sebastian) from TTYA but no other expenses from the tax refund.

I was sifting through the various marketplace forums on DOA and got a PM in regards to Efreet IMMEDIATELY after I had finished bumping my threads. Buyer was able to pay upfront, and was very understanding that snow might slow down my ability to get him into the mail right away. I gave an estimated shipping date of Thursday.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) I will get him all packed up, and I'm planning to head out on Thursday (when the snow should in theory have stopped and had a chance to partially melt) and mail him out.

I may also do my taxes tomorrow. I'd LIKE to, but I'm worried about whether it will be quiet enough and I need to gather all my stuff together and I'm nervous. BLEH. I'm always nervous.

I should just go through all the papers tonight and organize it while the apartment is quiet. Then all I have to do tomorrow is set up my desk, close the bedroom door and WORK.

Ed has a faceup? Sort of..

I've had a migraine for a week straight right, but this weekend the weather has been suddenly warm and dry and great for Faceups so I attempted to Faceup Ed.

One of the less wise ideas I've had. Let's set up bright lights and try to focus on tiny details and keep our hands steady. I went Migraine!Blind about 20 minutes in, and somehow managed to get some eyebrows and lip blushing on Ed.

It's.. not a great job, but I'm really not sure what I expected. ?_?








In addition to doing a completely blind faceup, I also managed to go completely stupid and pester Osaka while she was trying to do a faceup and ended up messing up her progress. x_x

She was able to get back into the groove and get it done with the aid of headphones and me being nowhere in the vicinity, and it turned out nicely.

I was planning to paint my Kaiju as well but.. I legitimately could not see. So that didn't happen. It's sealed though so.. there's that.

Clumsiness? More?

Wednesday I fell down after a 5 mile walk, and 3 days of High stress. No major injuries, just scuffed my pinky on the side-walk.

I posted about it to Facebook:
"I managed to walk carefully, without incident to the Social Security office and back (roughly 5 miles in total) and found myself suddenly staring up at the sky and trees and realized I had fallen and was flat on my back on the ground at the foot of the stairs of my apartment. I do not appear to have any visible damage other than road rash on my right pinky. Thank goodness for small favors."

Today I sprung up from the couch to grab some things, got light-headed and fell down, hard. Again, nothing visibly injured.

Then I finally tried to go to bed, tripped on the ladder of my short-loft bed and bruised my legs from ankles to knees.

This is a worrisome pattern. I've not been seriously injured but that's three oops falls in 24 hours.
I'm pretty sure I didn't hit my head during the first fall but I haven't blacked out and fallen since I was a little kid.

I'm concerned.

Edit: I feel like a doofus. Conversation from Livejournal:

Batchix: Have you had any migraines or allergies lately? I get really light headed and woozy sometimes and have been known to almost black out after a bad migraine or bad allergies(which amount to the same thing for me, since bad allergies can trigger the migraines).

Rorek(Me): I feel dopey. I've had a running migraine for 4+ days now. e_e;;

Time for some quiet relaxing crafts and/or naps. I've been GOOOOOO DO ALL THE THINGS!!! Since Monday...

I'm a dumbass. Usually I take my medicine and REST so this has never happened before. =_="

About Me

My photo
I'm Rory or Rorek in most places. I design, sew, and craft, primarily for my Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls. I also dabble in interior design, but I'm a little out of practice.

I post about the things I enjoy, which are sewing, photographing my dolls, designing new outfits, knitting, which I started in September of 2008, thanks to my Mom, and occasionally drawing, or painting.

I also post about Life Events and how they affect me and those that I love.

Currently I am living in DFW, Texas in the USA and working towards a degree in Theology.
