Sleep day, random night

What a stupid day.

So I take my shot last night as usual, take my "concomitant" medications- Tylenol extra strength and Metocloprimide. (Anti-nauseant).
I went to bed fairly early for me because I started feeling really tired. What happens is I can't stop yawning and I am overcome with this intense exhaustion-lights out for me.

About 4 or 5 am I wake up with pain all over. Completely nauseated. Head pounding, horrible feeling of general malaise. I slam back more concomitants and do manage to pass out, but then I sleep without opening my eyes till 2 in the afternoon.
I know you're thinking, "2 in the afternoon? That's a lot of sleep!"
It doesn't stop there folks.
I get up at two, feeling very drowsy, make breakfast, eat a few bites, then pass out on the couch till four.

Now I wake up at four, still feeling yucky, I think maybe a shower would bring me back from the dead, like it always does when I am hungover. I almost fall asleep in the shower.
I get out of the shower and think, hmm, maybe I should exercise, that'll help.
Then I wake up and it's 630.
I passed out again!

Now I know what you're thinking now, Erin, you're on cancer treatment. When you sleep you are healing.
I know this, but it still sucks to have to sleep your life away. You wake up so late that everything is over for the day, I have to be productive in the later afternoon/ evening, and I deal with this, but 630????
Fucking ridiculous I think.

Anyways enough whining.
So now I am wondering what I am going to do to get to sleep tonight, at least I am cozy with my amazing knee high witch stockings and purple dream slippers.

You're jealous. I know.

(I look like neon big bird's lower half.)


So as I mentioned earlier this week, I will be LACED UP at this event tomorrow.

Honestly this isn't my "thing" per se, I feel like events like these are for scenesters mainly, but my girl is walking in a corset and honestly I want an excuse to wear one too and window shop the very expensive corsets. I do plan on having a couple of cocktails too. ;)
Don't worry I'll drink lots of water.
Kt will be mad when she reads this.

Speaking of KT she has been in the desert the whole week, and I miss our night time chats. We get on the phone and blab about something, then go off and do our own thing on the phone ignoring each other then sporadically talking about some other non sense. Usually each conversation involves us talking about oils we want, oils we ordered, and oils we like.

My delicious scent of the week is....

Midnight Mass.

It smells like Traditional Roman Catholic incense, a slightly soapy mix of frankincense and myrrh. I find it haunting.
Now I don't go to church but I have gone to a few midnight mass ceremonies. I love the carols, I find it so beautiful, but I think I would make a terrible Catholic.



If only there was smell-o-vision. I would have a scented blog.

I have a bottle of Friday The 13th coming too. There are 13 accursed ingredients and I look forward to seeing how they smell together. Hehehe!!!

Sorry I haven't had any recipes lately, I best be getting' my ass in the kitchen and doing some wifin'!
I promise one soon.

I should probably work on "relaxing" and I don't think NACHTMAHR is going to do that for me. I have enjoyed them this evening though.

I have been deep into dark electro lately, and this is one for my car for violent cruising.

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID IT HAHA SO DUMB!!!

I promise to take pictures of the spectacular party tomorrow evening, but first I'll need to load up on one of these:

Fried oyster po' boy at DA-DE-O BAYYYY-BEEEEE!!!
(And sweet potato fries.)

MMMMMM!!!

Make the Yuletide Gay

Merry Christmas everyone!

What a fun Christmas this year! I ate, drank and was merry. Last night was the real party at my parents place, every year we have a wild party on Christmas eve. My brain is still sitting in a bucket of wine, so I apologize if I seem slow in this entry.

We had a great turnout this year! The house was full to the brim with people. This year my husbands mom and her boyfriend came from Calgary which is new, it was their first Christmas Eve at the Welsh household. So glad we finally got them over. My brother and his wife also came from Calgary, like they do every year, and we had a blast together! The Karpetz Family came over, KT and Sandy have been over before but not the whole family. So that brought up the party factor. The rest of the family was there of course, all a merry time was had by all!

Since my family wasn't doing presents this year, there wasn't a big haul this year but I did make wedding albums for the parents and my Grandma Frannie. I think they were very happy with that. 

I also made Matt a photo album, but instead of wedding photos I gave him boudoir photos I had done a few weeks ago, I also gave him "Love coupons" and a gift certificate for Edmonton's Best Tattoo shop Capital Tattoo. Matt gave me a beautiful leather bracelet that wraps around the arm, really cool. He also gave me a gift certificate to Nightshade Corsets! I was really excited about that one cause I have been wanting a new corset and nightshade has some of the best in town. 

Today was pretty much a write off for me. Since I am "not supposed to drink" I took it "easy" but still wound up with a hangover. Really I was more tired than hungover. My brother Daley and I stayed up late - like 5 am kinda late, we kept that party rockin' till dawn. I definitely pay for drinking and staying up late because of the interferon, so my booze intake was about half of the usual. Usually I get so hammered that I have my face in the toilet by noon the next day. Not this year but I still found a way to wreck myself. When I finally went to bed, I slept on a futon that was pretty much folded in half with my parents cat Mittsy under my blanket. Perfect. 

Woke up by eleven for brunch with the family before my bro and his wife had to take off for her family celebration, and promptly got back into bed and slept till four. Then we had dinner which temporarily brought me back to life. By dessert though that triptofan or however you spell that, hit me, and I had to go lie down again! So yeah, that was home time. Well, that's Christmas for another year! 

Tomorrow is Boxing Day, and I of course am a good little consumer during sale time. So yes, I will be shopping! KT and I will be hitting up stores like Mars and Venus, I like accessories from that store, Sanctuary- Edmonton's Witchery and Goth General store, which over the years I have spent many dollars in, and a friends subculture store Redemption Boutique. I am quite sure I will find a few items for myself and perhaps the husband as well. I may decide to get the hell out of there if it's really bonkers, like I think it's gonna be....we will see.  I have been know to soldier through the crowds to get a good deal. 

HERE'S SOME PICS!!!!

 WEDDING ALBUMS!!!!! So I spent 4 hours putting together albums then a couple more making cards and making them look purdy. I felt like it was appropriate to give all the parents one and they waited long enough! So yeah, that was by far my most crafty christmas in years!

 The sweet ass bracelet my kick ass hubby got me! He's got incredible taste when it comes to picking me out accessories for me. This bracelet is special and unique. Just like me HEHEHEH

 NIGHTSHADE!!!!! So excited. I love corsets but I haven't bought one in a few years. I have my eye on a beautiful black under bust there. I dropped a few hints to Matt a while back, and reminded him again recently. He says he feels intimidated when he walks in there so he got me the GC so I could pick out what I want. Now that's a good guy.

MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO MYSELF (Or one of them) OMG OMG OMG my oils came early! KT and I figured they'd arrive after Christmas, but to our delight they arrived on the 23rd! This was a pretty large order, I got Midnight Mass 2011, which smells like traditional roman catholic incense burned at midnight mass, The Gorobble, smells like burnt marshmallows, yum, Yule 2011, which has red holly berry, mistletoe, juniper, frankincense and myrrh. I also got Diable en Boîte which means Jack in the box, which is a seriously spicy and intense fragrance, which just didn't smell right on me, but it smelled great on my man! So that one is for him. I also ordered another for Matt, John Barleycorn, with beer, blood and whisky, but he thought it smelled "girly" on him. So I kept John Barleycorn and gave him Diable en Boîte. BPAL OBSESSION! 

Good times this year, I enjoy celebrating with the finest. Next party is NYE at my cousin Francesca's wedding. I bought a very pretty dress for the evening I am excited to wear! You will of course see it later on in pics! Now I am going to cuddle with Salem the kitty and watch a Christmas movie with the hubs. I might even smoke a Christmas doobie too. Heheheh. MERRRRRRY CHRISTMAS! HOHOHO! <3
