Friday, October 27th Incomplete thoughts... I have those sometimes... This morning, I bothered to try the eye-makeup thing again. I haven't used that stuff since the last time Gus made his little comments, partly because it's a pain to do every day and partly because it bothers my eyes. I used to go nuts with the makeup thingy and wore foundation, powder, blush, eye shadow, mascara, eye-liner, and lipstick, but after my first summer in Taipei in 1990 where my makeup literally melted off my face in the heat, I brought it down to just lipstick and have kept it at that ever since. Having a professional appearance has always been important to me, but looking attractive and being FEMININE wasn't something high on my priorities. Recently though, I've changed, and I realize now that a lot had to do with how I perceived myself, and equally, how I perceived men. I have a lot more to say on this subject, but alas, I have to go. I have got to get to my darn business plan. Maybe I'll have more time to write this weekend. How very retarded of me...
Gus called this morning and scared me a little. He was experiencing severe back pains and was checking into the hospital. I called him later on in the evening to find out how he was doing. Doctors told him it was a virus (how odd) and gave him muscle relaxers and pain killers to ease the pain. He said he was doing much better, thank goodness. I can't imagine what it would be like if something happened to him.
Evening activities... Tonight I was completely obsessed with the index page. I've been putting it off forever thinking that it would require a lot of time to do, but to my pleasant surprise I was done with it in just under three hours. I had already drawn up the format on paper when I first hit up Wayne for funding, so with that, it was pretty easy to do. I surprise myself sometimes. I'm still not happy with the color scheme, but I'll deal with the details later.
