alexandraerinOkay, so I haven't really kept up my status posts very well this week... part of that is because I've been getting late starts on my day and dealing with emotional ups-and-downs, but part of that is probably why I'm dealing with those things. I mean, saying that one's routine was disrupted is a legitimate use of passive voice, but a routine is something that one does.
So before I lie down for the night, I'm going to do this thing.
News For Today
Well, fundraiser's almost over. Friday is the second to last day of it and also a double donation Fundraiser Friday again. I have zero expectations... there are sound reasons I can think of for why there will be very little activity (the gap between contestants are in the hundreds, people who were going to contribute already have, etc.) and why there would be a lot (people who've been waiting until near the end to try to score an upset, the lure of Fundraiser Friday, people who were waiting until their bills were paid for the month, etc.) This whole thing is an experiment and it's already been a roaring success. If I get $5 and a bubblegum wrapper for the rest of the month, I'll be appreciative (and impressed with the person who managed to send a bubblegum wrapper through my PayPal account.)
I have received only a very few (like three) write-in votes for the Spring Fling Thing. I haven't added them to the totals yet but they don't really budge things much either way. Regardless I will add them in tomorrow (that is to say, Thursday) so we go into Friday with a correct leaderboard.
Personal Assessment
Well, Tuesday night I saw an excellent touring production of Les Miserables. Music is the closest thing I have to real religion, and it was a spiritual experience. Like all the best epiphanies, it pretty much arrived at the nick of time. Something happened today (that is to say, Wednesday) that might very well have shattered me into a million tiny little pieces if it had happened a day or two earlier, but I'm okay.
(If that statement is too specific or revealing for anyone, say the word and I'll be sure to vague it up for you.)
I think my mental/emotional well-being is also going to be positively affected by the Three Micahs column I read and linked to earlier today (that is to say, Wednesday). Already it contributed to a less loopy and rambling and apologetic explanation of what's going on in the placeholder I put up today ("). How well it will help me deal with the sorts of situation that send Artist Alexandra into a quivering rage or towering panic remains to be seen, but... well, all things are works in progress, right?
Plans For Today (That Is To Say, Right Now):
Sleep.
