you make me sick because i adore you so

Hello all you lovely people!

I have been sick as a dog this week!

I think I'm better now, but I guess we'll see.

I had some kind of misc stomach bug earlier in the week, which led to me not eating a lot and then, on Thursday, I had a close encounter of the norovirus kind. Which I won't elaborate on. I've had it before, no doubt I'll have it again. Suffice to say that, thanks to having already not eaten much, I am as weak as anything. I mean, I can get about okay, but moving heavy things is a trial. I had to go and pick up some bits and pieces from town this morning, and I struggled a little with those (mainly liquids in bottles; luckily the massive box of cat food was on my back).

I think because I'm feeling super lonely right now, it's made me super whiny as well? I said to mum that I wanted to stamp my feet and whine about how ill I've felt, and I want all the sympathy from everyone. (I...think I'm past that, though). I bought myself the Star Wars colouring book because I felt sorry for myself, and I'm eating ice cream for tea for exactly the same reasons.

In other news, I have been listening to Muse's back catalogue. Mostly on Spotify, and then I remembered I own most of it (just missing Drones), so I ripped it and put it on my phone instead.

I pretty much like everything they've ever done. I can only think this is because I literally expect nothing from them, and so I'm pretty much pleased with what I've heard. I mean, there are tracks I like less than others (Fillip, The Resistance, for example), but all in all I like what I hear??

Oh, and I think I've got to the bottom of the dye problem!

It's been barely a week since I redyed my hair blue (though it came out green again), and it's faded really quickly already.

I have had this problem with blue dye before. I bleached a streak in my hair when it was longer a few years ago to dye blue and, while it took perfectly, it was gone in a week. I can only think that there's something in the make up of my hair that just does not like blue dye. Either that, or it's sentient, and it thinks there's enough blue shit in my life already (which. accurate. i guess).

I'm going to try the green next, anyway.
