At 9 AM this morning, I'm getting bilateral sacroiliac injections, and I have to admit I'm kind of nervous. Not so much about the pain of the procedure or fear that something will go wrong, but over the worry that they won't help with my back and hip pain issues and I'll have wasted the time and money. Hopefully, though, the shots will give me ( Read more... )

-Had a bad crying jag on Saturday night. Just out of the blue sobbing attack that lasted for a while. I think it's 'cause I tend to bottle up my emotions, so they build up and sometimes just explode all at once. At any rate, it wasn't nearly as bad as the breakdown I had as a teen, or even an actual breakdown. For one thing, I actually felt ( Read more... )

Neither the local Walmart nor Target had any Rochelle Goyle dolls in stock, but I did find an Operetta, so I consider the outing to be a success all the same. My search for RG is going to be postponed at least until my student financial aid comes in, depending on how much Sokka's much-needed dental work costs. Dachshunds before dolls, after all.

-I got an A in the Monsters course, so that's one less thing to worry about. I'm very pleased about it, of course, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering how much I enjoyed the course ( Read more... )

Due to the fact that every online store that carries the Special Effects brand of hair dye is out of almost every color that I wanted, I had to settle for High Octane Orange and Sonic Green. I gave the former a try this evening and now my hair looks like fire. I'm pretty happy with this, actually. It's nice and summer-y. I still hope they start ( Read more... )

A lot has been going on this past week, so I'ma do my best to summarize stuff in list form ( Read more... )
