Automatic Ankle Accelerator is today's Daily Special!
It's another hot, humid day here in Tucson, which means that I'm really not getting anything done. Again. Once the sun goes down, I might have more energy. Maybe I'll put some more work into my seashell brooch, which got ignored while I did other stuff this weekend. I'd really like to get more destashed beads listed this week, but that definitely will not get done tonight.
Bleh. It's 80+ degrees today, and windy. My friends in NM have been complaining of wind, too, and I know wind is contributing to the CA fires, so it feels like there's just this huge wind blowing across three states. It could at least have the decency to be cool, and bring some rain with it. It doesn't feel at all like October. I have a feeling that I will not be wearing my cloak for Halloween, which means I have to decide which dance clothes I want to wear instead.
The Nightmare Eyes bracelet project isn't working yet. I may have to come up with some other way to do it. I'm considering trying to come up with a concept that uses these red nailheads that I have... but first I'd have to find said nailheads. I'll probably let the whole idea simmer in my head for a bit and work on something else instead. I'd kind of hoped to have it done before Halloween, since it has a creepy vibe, but then again, nightmares are creepy all year 'round.
No, I'm not talking about fashion trends or foxy celebrities. I'm unfortunately talking about the temperature in my apartment. Apparently the motor in my evaporative cooler overheated and shut itself down. Thankfully the maintenance guy here is pretty fast on the response, but while he was up there he discovered that the cooler needed new bearings, too, so he had to take off for the hardware store. It should be fixed within the hour, but I've already been sitting in the heat for two hours, and the oscillating fan can only do so much!
It's too hot to sit under my Ott-Lite, so I'm going to have to wait until later to finish my current bracelet. I've already completed the Autumn-hued one from earlier this week, and am now working on something in black, lime, and aqua, a combination I always enjoy. Not sure what I'll start after that.
On Tuesday, we learned that we were approved for the home loan we were trying for... Hooray! This means that I'm going to have a HUGE sale to try to clear out some of this jewelry. I'd rather package it up and mail it off than pack it up and then unpack it! I'll also be trying to weed out my bead collection a bit, which means I may be selling off some supplies.
Today's Cool Thing is a Bloody Brain Bowl! Although it appeals to my love of the macabre, I'm not quite sure that I could eat cereal out of it. I'm pretty easily squicked-out in the morning!
