Was rudely awakened (several times) today by the movers shuffling furnature. When they got to our floor, I asked which items they were removing first - and they told me that they were supposed to leave the inhabited apartments until last. That means "at an uncertain time between now and the 8th ( Read more... )

Have removed my belongings from everything but the bed, couch, and kitchen table. I'm finding it remarkably difficult to feel enthusiastic about the new furnature.

The contractors start removing things in 4h, but I expect they'll start either at the top or bottom floor, so I should hear them coming.

So, management has decided to replace all the furnature that came with the apartment. Removal will happen over Jan 4-8. Delivery will happen Jan 8-15. This suggests the possibility that I could be left with minimal furnature for several days, which I'd be quite unhappy about. The only item they're giving a firm estimate on is the bed, which is ( Read more... )

The gastroenterologist isn't convinced that the gallstones are the only thing wrong with my digestive system. Apparently ordinary gallstone-related pain begins within 30min of eating a fatty meal, and goes away completely after 2-3 hours.

(One of the results of having substandard ( Read more... )

Sitting in campus health waiting to have bloodwork done. They're trying to decide whether I have appendicitis, some sort of gallbladder problem, or lower-right-lung pneumonia.

ETA: Chest X-ray ruled out pneumonia. Other testing has confirmed ( TMI. )

I have a test in two hours, and my body has violently rejected breakfast. Excellent timing, body.

ETA: Test went terribly. Have begged for mercy from my assorted professors, and will be staying in bed the rest of the day.

My spine has decided that it's distinctly unhappy with me. Dunno why, since I've been taking it easy this weekend. Hopefully I'll feel better in the morning. If not, though, I'll be scheduling the first available chiropractic appointment.

Have dropped physics lab, and decided to make competitive grading a "change sections immediately" criteria. Whether I pass a class should not depend on the grades recieved by a pool of other students (most of) whom I've never met ( Read more... )
