It has not been the best day...

...woke up today with a massive bloody nose. Going to bed feeling kind of nauseous. Lots of crap happened in between. Not the least of which I had to figure out how to make a "butcher's apron" look like the butcher is currently working hard. Brown and red and yellow paint, way watered down, and applied to damp fabric with glove-covered hands. Drip dry. I sang "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" while I was applying the paint.

At least my tub no longer looks like I've been sacrificing small animals. Or, y'know, maybe dismembering a corpse.

Went to rehearsal tonight and spent it sewing, fixing, making bits and pieces of costumes. I am so glad there are six of us working costumes. Because, wow. So *many* people in this show.

Whoa! What in the world causes you to bleed in your sleep? Is this normal for you? I think that might scare the crap out of me (no pun intended...lol) if that happened. You doing better now?

Ha. It is winter and dry - which dries out all membranes. Skin you can moisturize (which I do every day), but nasal mucous membranes not so much. It was normal "wake up movements" like stretching and shifting when I realized, no, I'm not getting a cold, I actually *am* bleeding.

I caught it in time before I bled all over my bed. But, boy howdy was that one hell of a "git yer ass out of bed" wake up!

So yes, I'm fine. Nothing lasting.
