And just like that, I am back in school mode! How in god's name am I going to get all of this done! (Little pieces, I just have to break it down.)

( A tentative sort of plan and rambles! )

My health - I hope - bottomed out today. Whether I go to class tomorrow or not is still up in the air, though I'm leaning on 'No'. I need to stop applying bandaids if I'm going to have any hope of getting through the semester; six days of quiet rest would go a long way right now. That being said, I'll have to go out tomorrow or on Friday, or I'll ( Read more... )

Tonight could have gone a lot better. I spent almost two hours trying to find Ephraim's house (the trip should have been around half an hour, less if I'd timed the buses better) and finally caved and hopped on the streetcar home when I established that none of the people I specifically invited to the party - and so who knew no one else - were going ( Read more... )

I may have also climbed out of the massive spoon debt
lol, jinxed it.

I keep wanting to say things and reply to posts, but I'm so fatigued. If nothing else, the last few weeks at work have been showing me how tough I am and how tired I can get. It's showing me how far I can push myself and it's far, far beyond what I would have believed. That being said, I'd love a few days in bed!

( Spoiler clip for the newest Doctor Who episode. )

Not that I've ever made fun of CSRs or other people who work in customer service, but actually doing the job is giving me whole new levels of appreciation for what you folk do. Five afternoons on the job and I am exhausted. I know it will get easier as I get more practiced, but right now, I'm simply overwhelmed. At least - at least! - I managed to ( Read more... )

I had a bit of a meltdown before game today. It wasn't particularly pretty, but it wasn't an awful one either and while working through it, I avoided a hell of a lot of potential physical pain. (Pain flares bad...) I have pretty much come to the conclusion (again) that trees are the most comforting thing on this planet and possibly others. I've ( Read more... )

I'm going to try this really neat, new concept. It's called "living within my spoons". I'm being a little bit glib because I've been given this advice ever since my diagnosis, almost seven years ago. I know it's the best possible way to get by with chronic illness, but I haven't had the luxury that I've got right now, which is that I've got no job ( Read more... )

Every time I stop exercising and then cycle back around to it, I wonder why I ever stopped in the first place. I mean, sure, after the honeymoon period, there are flare-ups and it sometimes hurts to move, but srsly, I am a different person when I keep it up. And I like the person who is active way better than the one who nurses the fatigue ( Read more... )

So, if we're still subscribing to BBCAmerica in April, Friday nights are going to be dangerously awesome television. I will have new Battlestar at seven, Sarah Jane Adventures at eight, and new Doctor Who after that. Torchwood is still pretty interesting, though this week's episode was definitely lack-luster. I am way more distracted by the ( Read more... )
