I feel restless and annoyed, for no obvious reason.
Yesterday was terribly busy; I spent most of it painstakingly constructing a cardboard Julius Caesar costume for
the_alchemist's Shakespeare-themed birthday party. So I got up early, went into town to buy raw materials, came back, had a nap, and started making the costume at about 3pm with the aim of having it ready for the 7pm-ish start of the party.
At least, that was the plan; it rather fell flat when several people interrupted my nap (not their faults, of course) and then Ian dropped round and spent an hour or two trying to help me fix my recalcitrant computer (with as little success as I'd had myself). This rather disrupted my schedule, and it was more like 8ish by the time I made it to Catriona's with a completed costume (and both thumbs covered in superglue). This left me barely enough time to say hello to
yvesilena in particular before she departed to catch a convenient lift to the station, which was a shame; perhaps next time I'll leave twice as much time for costume construction just in case of the unexpected :-/
Still, apart from that it was an enjoyable party; particularly nice was finally having a chance to talk to
taimatsu, who I'd met at several other parties but circumstances had never quite allowed a real conversation. And I got a lift home, which sounds a bit lazy for a 15-minute walking distance but meant I didn't have to carry my rather fragile costume back home through the streets, so I still have it and can post photos at some point. (I'm rather pleased with the way it came out.)
This morning I feel restless, as if there are six things I should be doing rather than lazing about in my pyjamas, and somewhat peeved, as if something really unpleasant happened to me last night (which it didn't). I can only assume it's left-over tension from the part of yesterday I spent frantically supergluing stuff with one eye on the clock, plus left-over lack of sleep due to said tension, or something. I hate feeling annoyed without an obvious reason. It, well, annoys me.
