I didn’t go to bed after the last entry. I was tired but I was very hungry; I resisted eating or sleeping for some reason. I worked on my website a bit more. I uploaded 12 more collages in the photos section. I should have been putting all the photos I’ve used for these collages in a folder somewhere so I would know what I’ve used so far because I’m going to forget. I mean, I’m already having trouble. But I don’t have anyone to blame but myself.
Eventually I realized that I would need to have something to eat and I would need to sleep. I reheated a slice of pizza while I got ready for bed, and I did watch an episode of Star Wars: Mau – Shadow Lord (S01E07 “Chapter 7: Call to Oblivion”). I was sort of doing all of this at once, but quickly realized this episode of the series was much more intense than previous entries, with characters dying left and right and massive fights between Star Wars icons. It was great! But just like previous installments, the ending was frustrating. This season tells a single story, and the episode endings are less like cliffhangers, than someone randomly shutting the TV off. I hate it. I would recommend binging it but I can’t wait. I do look forward to rewatching this series someday when I can view it the way I feel it should be, and as I’ve said before, this will likely continue a full re-watch of the entire The Clone Wars / The Bad Batch & the Star Wars Tales series, which has just continued to grow into something very special.
I momentarily considered watching the next episode of the Maul series but knew this was a bad idea. I went to bed. As I was getting ready for bed I had a coughing fit, which sometimes happens when acid irritates my throat. But I didn’t mind as it gave me an excuse to take a swig of cough syrup. For a long time, I would take a sip every night. I don’t do that anymore and I try to avoid taking pain killer, despite having a lot of migraines. But I didn’t want to go to bed and wake Aaron with my coughing. The cough syrup helped and because I’ve not had any in a long time it knocked me out, which was lovely. I slept for 8 hours, waking up feeling rested and comfortable.
My skin has been really flaky lately. I don’t use a lot of products on my skin, aside from sunblock, because anything meant to help my skin actually seems to do the reverse. I breakout in rashes or acne. It’s terrible. I used to hate my skin. But I think that whatever weird chemistry that happens there has helped my skin stay hydrated. It’s not perfect. My pores are clogged for sure, but I also don’t have a lot of issues otherwise. Now, this has changed a bit as I’ve aged. I’ve had some minor skin problems which I know how to take care of. As for the new issue, I hadn’t honestly given it a lot of thought, but I remembered that I had this old charcoal face mask that I had tried years ago and it has helped a bit. So I shaved and showered, applied the mask for 30 minutes and then scrubbed that off. And again, for now it seems like it has helped. The mask is black and on my pale skin it almost looks like I’m wearing Black Face – as if having a shaved head didn’t make me look racist as it is! I do like how the mask looks on my skin though. My impression is that if it were purple it would remind me of the 1960’s Batgirl costume. lol
I was going to go for a walk but it looks like it’s going to rain. I tried calling my grandmother last night and this afternoon but she didn’t answer. I hope she’s okay. I’ll try again in a bit. I should probably have something to eat as it’s now been nearly 12 hours since I had that slice of pizza.
