Nostalgia and the Aftermath

Well I know I haven’t been blogging much since I have been keeping everyone up to date on my Facebook and Twitter. I do not always post the same messages on both so you may want to check out both to get a more clear picture of what is going on with me. If you already read those then you have an idea already of what I will be writing today. On Facebook I am Michelle Finnegan and on Twitter I am VioletSunGoddes. It is with one s since Twitter didn't allow that many characters in the name when I signed up.

Well Nostalgia is a Goth club that my older sister put together and I have been doing my best to help her out with all the preparations and decorations and so on. Tuesday the 23rd was a theme night and the theme was Fairies and a bit if Steampunk or Industrial Goth. It was really a totally AWESOME night! But I tell you the set up took forever. We all started working on it on Monday and poor sis didn’t get any sleep for like two whole days making sure everything went ok. Well it turned out that everything went BETTER than ok it went FANTASTIC! Everyone who was everyone was there and it was so cool to see so many faces I knew and meet the few new faces who said they love the place. I love hearing that. I think I spread my attention so many different ways I was bound to make a few mistakes but it all went great anyway and we all had a total blast. I didn’t go all out on the dance floor like I normally do because I have had an inner ear infection for the last week or so. Not contagious or anything but just makes it tricky to stay clear headed or upright. I am so grateful the good Doctor gave me this little yellow pill that gets rid of the in vertigo for four hours at a time so as long as I take it on time I can at least drive and stay upright while walking. I had dear Bruce hold my inhalers for me in case I had an Asthma attack or something but I was ok it was just in case. I had too many great people watching out for me to allow anything to happen. Those same great people also watched out for my sisters just in case since big sis is still recovering from her surgery (though I think she over did it anyway) and little sis was having difficulties with her ex. It was so nice of everyone to be so helpful and conscious of everyone else’s needs. It wasn’t just us but everyone looked out for everyone else so we all had our backs watched just in case or if someone needed a ride home. It was really one awesome night and several people danced a whole lot.

While we were still setting up I got a chance to see some folks ballroom dancing. Their practice routine was pretty cool. The teacher was good and knew his stuff but he wasn’t very good at instilling confidence in his students even though he made them laugh. I am not sure if he could see just how uncomfortable at times that lady was but I guess he was trying to help her get more comfortable who knows. It just would have been nice to see more encouragement from the teacher instead of so many put downs when they messed up. I have been a ballroom teacher myself so it bugged me a bit.

Once I changed into my nicer outfit for the night and saw some of my first few friends who showed up I was all smiles and it was great. I tried to rest as much as possible so as not to exacerbate my inner ear problem but it was still much fun and great to see everyone I knew and meet the new ones.

On a sadder note out kitty is on her last few days with us. She is old and just shutting down and we don’t have the money to take her to the vet to be put down to reduce her suffering. I hope she is not in too much pain.

I got home at 5am ish after the club was finished being cleaned up by us and stuff. I am glad we all got home safely and with no accidents or anything. I tell you I was exhausted and just crashed when I got home. I didn’t wake up until about 6pm and then was only up for about 4 or 5 hours before I crashed again until noon today. The first time I woke up I had a major head problem and was very sore all over, made dinner, watched a show, checked email then went to sleep again. Today when I woke up I was hoping the in vertigo would be gone but it is not yet and if it is still there in the next two days I will have to go back to the doctor to see what is up and if we can fix it.

I am in a classical mood today so I am listening to my instrumental playlist in YouTube right now. I think it is because within the last two days I have head just about every other type of music. After helping to set things up on Monday I stuck around for the karaoke until my two sis decided to leave and then the Goth and Fairy stuff on Tuesday. So today it is classical and it is soothing. I like Vivaldi and some others. I have also been trying to keep up with some other friends today on chat but no one seems to be saying hi yet so I am blogging since I haven’t been on my computer for a while and feel like typing. Hubby is chatting online next to me on cam so I am also on cam. Maybe I will type to him next for fun.

I had a dream that I was full of tiny thumbtack needles in every pore of my body and my friends we helping to take them all out of me but they just kept coming back. My blond self didn’t make the link that my head was telling me that I am sore all over because I over did it with the helping others so now my subconscious is interpreting the pain in my body its own way in my dreams. I woke up sore as hell and should have made the connection but silly me didn’t think of that yet until Hubby pointed it out. All I can say is thank God for little yellow pills and some Aspirin. Oh! and of course, for my friends for helping out so much in reality and in dreams. Much love to all.
