I went to one of my local stores to pick up a few things, and on a lark went and checked out the toy section. I found B&W SS Frankies! I'm so excited, she's so cute!
I know I've heard that people have had a hard time finding her, so I would be willing to pick up some for people here. I could ship her in her box, or I could unbox and ship for less. I'd be shipping from Anchorage, AK 99508, and our shipping is always a bit more expensive just FYI. But especially if I ship her unboxed in a bubble mailer I don't think it would be too expensive. She'd be $15 plus shipping. :3
I might also be interested in trades if you'd rather go that way.
I had posted this to the Monster High comm a few days ago, and I had meant to post here too but then I got sick. xP Anyway, I have a couple extra unclaimed dolls. I figured if nobody took me up on all of them I could always just return them to the store. Scottie has been chastising me for spending so much time trying to figure out how to ship the dolls and how to get the best shipping price for people when I really should be spending the time getting better. Especially since I'm not doing it for a profit. lol xP
Ah well, bad timing and all that. And I'm too stubborn to be good at resting.
Besides figuring out shipping I've basically been a sick blob all weekend (Today, Monday, was Seward's Day and so a state holiday that I got off). I didn't get any work or sculpting done, which is too bad. Sunday night my mouth started to get irritated, and Scottie said I had stuff going on in the back of my throat that looked like it could be strep. So I did go to the doctors today.
It was expensive even with the copay, but now I have antibiotics and steroids. o_O Luckily I don't have strep, but I do have a sinus infection and a nasty sore throat. The steroids are supposed to help with swelling, and after taking them this afternoon I was finally able to talk above a whisper! I've been whispering at Scottie since Friday, since talking irritated my throat too much and caused me to have coughing fits. Plus I didn't have much of a voice as it was so it really wasn't worth the irritation.
The doc said that I could have a steroid injection to get me feeling better fast, and I was like @_@'. I consented, sort of, and then the nurse came in. I was sort of prepared for a small shot in the shoulder or something. I really, really don't like needles. I was not prepared for what appeared to me at least to be a very large amount of liquid and a large needle, and for the nurse to say that because it was such a large amount of liquid that it had to be injected in my ass. Or he could set me up with an IV, and I could get it done in like 5 minutes that way.
Both of these options had me attempting to convince my brain that bolting out of the room was not a reasonable response. My anxiety won out over the large amount of discomfort I was in, and I apologized and said I would rather not. I figured I'd be getting oral steroids soon enough, and that was good enough for me.
One good thing is that the prescription with my insurance was only like $4, which helped balance out the $60 doctor visit copay.
While I was dragging my arse around the store, killing time until my prescription was ready, I stopped by the toys. I saw a nice selection of dolls! Including Nefera! I couldn't afford to get her, which was too bad, but at least I got to see her in person. lol
Scottie made something awesome for dinner tonight though, and with my newly not as swollen throat, I could eat! He made little pizzas on this really nice baked bread from Costco using mozzarella that he made fresh! OMG, fresh mozzarella is amazing, as is Scottie. hehe :3
