I think I did pretty good at shopping yesterday
we went to the supermarket and bought both the food items I needed for the week (eggs) and the non food items that improve things (pants)
and my support worker was super helpful and had brought her reading glasses when I thought I didn't need reading glasses but the print is so so tiny

so even though the shop had Maximum People for bank holiday
I did the shopping pretty good.

Then somehow I slept until quarter to midnight.

I mean I was expecting to get home and get a 'night's' sleep
but that was
like
once around the clock.

People is exhausting.

But I have interesting eggs and a good plan for my food week
so I'm doing pretty okay.

I only got a couple hours sleep, if that, and had gone all slow and forgettery, surprisingly enough, so it was not dancing tonight.

But shopping yielded The Expanse and Legends of Tomorrow, which is optimal.
So that was nice.

I took my doll of 13 in to show the hairdresser
(he said in 30 years he has seen Many pictures but it's the first time with an action figure)
so now I have The Doctor's hair :-D

... not blonde, because I like my silver. I have an excellent starburst to show off in the top corners. Natural highlights, he says.

Mum helped with the walking parts and on the way home we went to Morrisons and had a cafe food. It has been actual years since we last did that. They have a new press the pictures yourself way of ordering, so no more needing to speak. Is very efficient. And then it goes beep with the contactless. Pretty good. And I figured out which chairs were shortest so that was a better sitting experience (why supermarkets ard not optimised around average woman height I do not know). And we had a nice lunch :-)

I had so much hair cut off. He reckoned that was a year of hair there. I was trying something new but it just got annoying.

After haircut I kept flipping my hair back and running out of hair many inches earlier than expected :-)

So I have new glasses and new hair
new me :-)


... I took some photos but I don't know where to put them any more, places keep closing or changing owners or everyone went away and I'm not sure which where does what now. Oh well. Is still very good.




Now I have an afternoon to rest and then this evening is board games again :-)

Mum went with me to Elm Hill and Waterstones and I now have a Labyrinth board game and some books :-D

It was a bit boring for mum but this way I could go places in the daytime like I'd been wanting to.

Now I am tired. It was hot out. But we used the wheels trolley so everything arrived home correctly.

Next time I need more ribena though, I chugged the whole bottle after the first shop.

But I got to wear my big hat and go on the bus and went exactly where I had intended so, excellent day :-D

did dancing, did shopping
did not do eating before I went out, so that's not my fav feeling
but all good now.

Today's dancing and shopping was achieved. On the way home I thought I'd left my gloves there but they were in the bag instead. So that was okay.

My exciting life.

This morning I dreamed I was at a convention with my two long term boyfriends, Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Rory the Roman from Doctor Who. Werewolf dating a plastic man, kind of makes sense, he can't turn him. I think I had magic? I usually do. Either that or we just went to science fiction conventions together. We were at one of our regular events and some young men caught up with Oz and one said Oz was his dad. Which was plausible, in dream, because Oz had been a wild man in the 90s. ... we were making all these werewolf jokes in front of the mundanes, obviously we were hilarious. And then someone wanted to talk to me, and he looked like thirty, so I was all "... does future me learn time travel?" And he was blinky and said no. Which is a suspicious answer, if you think about it.

As plots go it had the standard for me thing where the fire alarm goes off and everyone has to use the stairs which is clearly a challenging disaster. But I feel it had more interesting plot elements in there. What with a two thousand year old soldier-nurse dating a werewolf and a possibly-witch.

Kind of don't want to steal Oz and Rory from their canon endings though.
Except it's kind of weird that plastic Rory and human Rory are the same guy? Like, he's a copy, and then they reboot from memories, so it would make just as much sense to end up with two of him. But that would be sad. Unless he has a whole bunch of people he made friends with along the way.
... because living that long just to guard a box full of potential alive/dead girlfriend is... odd.
The kind of odd you can absolutely work with in a Buffy context though.



So I woke up and then got diverted thinking about who all else I'd invite to my castle and/or science fiction convention, but now I'm wondering how we were well known enough that people knew to look for us at an event. There's another Rory that could be on the guest of honor lists, but I don't know what Roman Rory would do. ... now I'm thinking stunts... heh...


Dancing is tiring but I have apple pastries to eat. My evening is good.

We went to the shop and we ate the foods and we did the shopping and Age of Ultron is out so I bought my copy and then me and brother watched it at my house. It has only just finished. Mum phoned like half an hour ago because she thought it would be finished then but nope. Long film is long.

I'm all :-D about the film this time cause all the parts that super annoyed me I've had time to get used to so I could put my fingers in my ears and ignore them.

Also I still want Hawkeye's coat.



The UEA at the end of the film as Avengers Academy should still be actual UEA. The view isn't right and the insides are all turned around and doubled but just for the politics, for saying the Avengers go global, like the little tiny bonus feature says, the actual UEA in the UK should be one of many Avengers Academies. If everything is in New York then it's just the USA acting like they're boss. Boring. The Avengers should totally come and teach in my town.


My brother likes Thor. Lightning.

... oh great, my brother also likes unpacking his shopping and settling in just as mum is on her way to pick him up. That's going to be fun.


But today was plenty good :-)

I went out :)
all by myselfs :)
just to the shop at the other end of the building, but since half the building is a building site I have to go the long way around and cross the road twice. which is quite a lot of going, for me.
I got the cleaning wipes I went out for, and also a silver candle that I totally don't need but want to put on the top of the piano with the black and white candles (all of them still plastic wrapped, because my inner interior decorator is as lazy as the rest of me) where it won't be the same height but will be sort of complimentary, and also a shiny christmas ornament even though I don't do christmas or ornaments because it looks like a crystal morningstar being all spikey, and also a skirt. It cost £3 and had a dangly chain with it, which was also shiny and I would happily pay £3 for so if the skirt fits then bonus. And hopefully it will be the same color as the gloves that aren't the same color as anything. Put a black and silver top with it, I have a coordinated outfit :)
Also, I have chocolate. Quite a large bar. Mum says 'but you got a large bar for christmas'. I dum de dum innocently...


Today, yaay!


now I'm all tired and will hide under the duvet. which is fair enough, because I did things first.
