The only spot I could find in the entire library had these wild red and burgundy books. It shifted the colors of everything because they were so bold here are the actual colors below. The dress is a soft tan with slate blue, fuchsia and orange and the cardigan is olive green, turtleneck and the fleece leggings are brown.





Lets me real. This will be me all day. I can never decide with drape cardigans.

I went a bit overboard with the flat iron today.

We had (still have) a small crisis at home. Saturday night at about 8:30pm I had a KILLER headache after a day of adventuring to NH to hang out with with sister and mother in law. (They didn't cause the headache. The stinky lady next to me on the bus ride home did. There were empty seats and she sat next to me. I asked her to let me take one and she wouldn't! I spent the whole time cursing her in my head, plus she had on stinky perfume.) well I go and turn on the shower and change my mind to go do something real quick and.... the shower wouldn't turn off. I panicked. Dave was studying for his exam at 8am the next morning.... I yelled for him and he came in and he couldn't get it to turn off all the way either. Frantic texts to my landlord and about 9:30 they have it all apart and can't get it to turn off either. In fact it was worse! Instead of drip it is now a small stream! They turn the hot water off for our apartment and say he is going to call a plumber in the morning. Well lets just say the plumber STILL hasn't come. When ever you turn on any faucet in the apartment the shower turns on! It is like an evil movie joke. Last night it was all I could hear. I peed 874732 times. Tonight I buy ear plugs on the way home. Waffle and Daisy have taken turns sitting in the tub and watching it. I think they have careers in plumbing. My landlord thinks they are going to have to take apart our bedroom wall to fix it!!!! oy.

I took this on the train on Saturday. I was impressed I was so pulled together for getting up at 6am on a Saturday.



I also broke in my other Danskos



It isn't coffee it was mint hot chocolate. I "gave up" caffeine due to my insomnia being a total bitch lately. It make mornings ROUGH. I have an occassional 8 oz frappe that comes in a glass bottle with small amount of caffeine and I had a soda the other day but other than that I have been doing OK with it. The withdrawl headaches are getting better. Last week with a BAD sleeping week. I have more than one 3am night and I have to get up at 6:30am. I have battled insomnia for years. My current strategy is affirmations, no iphone or computer after 9pm, hot beverage at 9pm and staying out of the bedroom all day. Do you have any suggestions that help you fall asleep that don't include drugs or herbal supplements? (tried that.)

How was your weekend?
