Yesterday turned out to be a very interesting and unusual day in many ways. Got up around 6 and drive the kid to the train station. Came back did a little bit of work and then had to wait for some people to finish stuff but unfortunately I had an appointment at 12 and wasn't abe to get the feedback I needed before then. My appointment was for my new tattoo. I stopped at the grocery store on the way there to pick up vodka and rockstar because last night we had a rehearsal for a special show Friday night. It's a benefit show at one of the local colleges. Which means we have a show Friday and Saturday this week. Back to back. I still need to send out cue sheets for both shows today. Ugh.
My appointment went great. I am really happy with the way this tattoo came out. #12 and right there in plain sight. No hiding it. Okay I mean I can hide it with a long sleeve shirt. It's not like I lost all my senses and got something on my face. It took about 3 hours from start to finish including prep time. The artist that did it has a great touch and there was very little pain surprisingly. The timing was perfect too as I was finishing the kid was heading back to the train station to come home. I hit the station right on mark. The only thing that was suffering was work because I was out of pocket for a large chunk of the day and while I was out I finally got the updates I needed.
Stopped for Chinese food on the way home because the kid had to be at an eye doctor appointment at 5:30 and she didn't have a lot of time to eat. We didn't get much, as we knew one of our friends coming over for the rehearsal was bringing some snack food too. We just knew they weren't coming until 7 and we both needed something before then.
At 7 everyone showed up. We did walkthrough of everything, assigned props, and then it turned into a party. A party lasting until 1am. That's the unusual part. I normally don't do that kind of thing on a Wednesday. Thursday or Friday, fine, but not a Wednesday. I still managed to get 5 hours of sleep and while I am little ick today, I am not hungover or unable to function. My arm hurts like hell though.
One downside to yesterday is while the kid was at her eye doctor appointment, my other friend stopped by to pick up the movies I had finished converting already. While she was here she mentioned that the other night at the birthday party, her and her husband noticed the kid had a bit of 'an odor'. She didn't know if it was her trying to be all hippie and didn't want to say anything. I explained that the kid does have a bad habit of not putting on deodorant or antiperspirant daily. This put me in the unenviable position of having to pass this news along to the kid later. Right before all those above mentioned people arrived. I know I should have waited, but I also didn't want it coming up again. As usual she got all emotional and was like 'this is why I don't have friends! I smell'. Well, then do something about it. Don't get offended at the messenger. I honestly don't understand what her problem with it is. I don't know why she gets so bent out of shape about just putting on the stuff and practicing some hygiene. You know how long it took me to get her to shower regularly when she was younger? But this put her in a shit mood all night which kept bugging me. Not cool. I don't know what to say to her that won't put her on the offensive and make her feel bad about herself. Just deal with it, ya know? Not that big of deal. At least you have friends who are willing to say something.
Anyway, everyone left around 1and I went to bed. On the couch. The house was a mess this morning but not too bad that I didn't have it cleaned up in 10 minutes. Always a benchmark in my mind. If I can put things back to livable in 10 minutes or less, then things are cool.
Now today I need to work like a boss.
