It's Tuesday, and creeping ever closer to the Ghost concert. I'm very excited about it! Sadly the meeting on Friday got moved to next month, so that's a lot of preparation for nothing, and no half day. But when it comes, I'll be ready!

Today, I need to do a bit more laundry, and also find time to make French onion soup for dinner. IT should be a stretch, but we'll make it.

Yoda has been very difficult since the twin traumas of the beeping noise and the 4th of July. He will only go out once or twice per day, and only if both of us are with him. It's somewhat inconvenient. We'll keep trying and working with him, but good lord, our dog is neurotic. He has a vet appointment on Monday to discuss upping/changing his medication. He definitely needs more crazy pills.

Tomorrow, I shall work half a day, and then I shall relax for a couple of hours before I get ready for the concert. Between now and then, I need to get some makeup wipes, because we will be sneaking in after the show, and I don't want to run water to wash it off and risk waking the dog. We're going to be little church mice.

I'm a little annoyed that they cancelled my meeting, though I was not looking forward to driving downtown in the rain and bad weather. Maybe I'll be lucky and the one in August will be less icky. Plus, I'll hopefully have a foundation that doesn't go cakey by then. I'm not fond of the Patrick TA foundation that I have right now. I don't think it's formulated for old person skin. It never seems to really settle onto my skin, always feels tacky--even with setting spray or powder. I'm going to try Haus Labs and Laura Geller to see if one of those works better. We'll see.

Geller markets itself for older skin, so we'll see. I just want something that will look natural. I don't mind it being a little stark for Ghost. That's just the way it's supposed to look, striking and a lttle stark. I found the best Fenty lipstick for it. It's a really dark red/brown. It looks really good, but very striking. It'll be perfect for nights out. The downside is that it takes at least two makeup wipes to get just it off, and in between getting it off and the first wipe, you look like the freaking Joker.

I'm hoping all my stuff comes in time. I've got Lakur nail polish due to come tomorrow, with a lovely color called Black Thorn that I really would like to wear for the concert. Normally Fedex comes early, so we'll see. I'm less hopeful about the pinafore dress that I got. It's supposed to come today via UPS, but it's not even in MD yet.

My Ipsy box will probably come on Friday, which is fine. I didn't have anything in particular I needed for the concert. It'll be here in time for the Philly concert on the 19th, which is fine.

My much needed box for makeup will be coming today. It was desperately needed. I've actually got two coming, one for travel and one for the countertop. We'll see how many things they'll fit. I got a LOT of makeup, which is currently taking up the majority of the bathroom counter on one side.

Okay, time for me to get myself together. We'll be walking the dog shortly, so I should get ready. Everyone have an outstanding Tuesday!
