#hedo's countdown

And boy, what a time for Hobby Lobby to be the only craft store to carry everything I need at crunch time. Fucking.

Anyways, Pluto's boots are in! They're a little tight, but I think I'll be fine. I'm going to have to re-do the brooch, as it's not dark enough for my tastes, re-do the staff, because I don't like the heart I got for it, and then... maybe then, Pluto will be complete.

I've been trying to write this particular post for three days, if that's any indication of how my week has been. I've been a little short on hours, which won't translate very pretty to my check next week, but hopefully I will have a lot of shifts between now and San Japan.

I think I'm going to restart on the foam heart for the Garnet Rod. The one I picked out just looks too big and I don't like it. Also going to try and cover it with plaster of paris this time, instead of whatever the other shit was that I bought.

Pluto arrived! She's a little wrinkly, but that may be from the mailman jamming it into the mailbox. I'm also going to see what I can do about the gloves, the tops are kind of large XD. I'm suppose to be working on my Garnet Rod today, but I'm still stupid tired from dahnei-panthera's birthday trip.

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! The petticoat has arrived and Pluto has officially left San Francisco! Petticoat unbagging under the cut ;3 Well, there WAS going to be unbagging under the cut, but my phone won't connect as a camera @_@;; Anyways, it looks really good, fits, feels good, I love it! AND NOW I HAVE A HUGE SIX-HOOP PETTICOAT I NEED TO SELL. My only complaint is that it showed up a little later than I expected, but that was probably because of the Dragon Boat Festival. No big deal, it still arrived in plenty of time.

With that taken care of, all I have left to do is:

Sailor Pluto boots (earrings and choker)

Garnet Rod

Belly-dance gijinkas

new gloves

clean wigs

My petticoat is somewhere between here and Flushings, NY. My Pluto cosplay is still in China hell. I've convinced Jeremy to do gypsy/belly-dance Pokemon gijinkas, he's going to be a Luxray and I've finally decided on Noivern. We're going to be sexy, lol.

UGH. All these cute cosplayers I suddenly started following are bad for my health. scribblescgl is so goddamn cute and I want to take him out for lunch at San Japan. Making me want to pick Sasha back up but aoerinwoia. WHY ARE YOU ALL SO CUTE STOP IT.

I've also been working out in the days leading to SJ, I think I've mentioned before. It's been really intense; squats, planks, pushups, crunches, etc. If I lose a half pound every day between now and SJ, I'll reach my goal weight. The worst part is being in your own skin and not noticing any changes. dahnei-panthera mentioned the other night that he'd already lost 30 lbs and I really noticed it when I was standing behind him (my reference point being our friend Matt, who has always been confused for Dahnei).

Eating better hasn't been too much of a challenge, there's plenty to eat at the house, with a good variety of fruits and veggies. Drinking better.... eh... I have been a little excessive with the sugary juices lately... because I don't like drinking tap water @_@; Dahnei left a package of bottled water here, so I'm taking more advantage of that tonight.

*agonized groaning* The waiting is killing me!

*loud groan of laziness*

Neither my petticoat nor my Pluto cosplay have moved out of China. It's really disheartening and it's killing my mood to work on the Garnet Rod. I was feeling pretty good up until the start of the month. There was a holiday over there, but it's been a few days and still nothing on my stuff.

Started this crazy thirty day workout with dahnei-panthera, tesseractintime, and thebiggestmess yesterday. Opened up my day by walking my friend's dog around the park, with a bit of jogging, then we did more running/walking last night combined with some exercises. I'm sore as fuck and my legs hate me.

I'm also working on my eating habits. Drinking more water and tea, less eating out, more lean meats and veggies.

Managed to convince myself not to do Unikitty or the Notepad for San Japan. There's simply not enough time.

I think I might also be feeling buttsy because A-kon is this weekend and I'd really love to go. Sadly, I must work ;-;
