03:07 am

Yeah, it's really late. Or early, whatever. I've been really, really busy lately with work and a festival (I had my 5 day summer vacation from work) and the wedding, mostly the wedding gift I've been making. It's not finished yet and the wedding's tomorrow...

I haven't had time to write even when I've wanted to, so the story's going nowhere at the moment. Now, I'm drinking crappy absinthe with Mountain Dew and I may be a little tipsy (bad girl...) and reading some fanfiction (Summer of Salt by lola-pops, it's really good and fits the horribly hot weather that's been plaguing us Northern Europeans lately). I should really go to sleep because, as I stated above, my friend has her wedding tomorrow and I still need to finish the photo album I'm making for her and get ready on time, too. I'm not 100% happy how it turned out (I have all the pages and photo frames ready, all I need to do is bind them into a book) but maybe I can live with it... I really hope they like it. I've spent quite many hours making it.

The other thing that's been keeping me busy lately was Lumous Gothic Festival, which was fun, but exhausting. Partyparty from Thursday to Sunday. I had to make some clothes for that. I made a black PVC pencil skirt with piping for me, and I was supposed to make a similar skirt for my friend, but I totally ran out of time, because I resized a dress for her too (-8 cm) and it took a lot more time than I anticipated... We also made hair accessories together and I ended up making one for her, since she just looked so desperate. :D Then I had to resize a skirt for another friend (+ 10cm). I also resized two dresses and a shirt for myself. I made earrings too; very simple but quite nice looking. I might post a picture later.

I really, really wish I had time and energy to write. Lately, it's been awfully hot here and that takes all the energy out of me. Especially when I have to work. It's been about +33°C/+91°F here and that's HOT. Way too much for me. I can't sleep when it's +29°C/84°F inside and working in these temperatures is just horrible. I'm sweating even when I'm just sitting at the computer... >___> That sucks. Actually, tonight has been the coolest night in two weeks and I'm so glad.

My wrist is still sore, after three weeks. I really should go to the doctor so I could get sick leave. That would also give me a chance to write again. I want to write so bad... Nowadays I'm always exhausted after work so no luck there. Obviously, I'm rambling again, so maybe I'll just stop writing this and go smoke a cigarette, have some more awful fake absinthe (wtf - it doesn't turn milky when you add water!) and then go to sleep. My dear fiancé is working a night shift so I'm all alone now. I'm pathetic, I know. :D Oh yeah, it's almost four o'clock now... Damn.
