Moving again
Have been house hunting for the past week, as the owners are coming back in September, our rent is going up and we can't get rid of Steven. Louise and I have had a look at a few places and are pretty confident about getting something soon. The current lease ends on Friday but we can have a periodical until late August if we need it.
Health issues if you're interested:
* Depression: have discontinued the Escitalopram due to messing with my sleeping patterns. Have a new script for Sertraline which I will start once things settle down a bit. In the mean time, dealing with the depression the alcoholic (and fun) way. Enjoying my ability to orgasm again.
* Eyesight: gradually getting worse, finding it difficult to focus on anything for extended amounts of time. I predict that within the next 12 months I will no longer be able to read more than a few large print lines.
* Post nasal drip: ENT says nothing can be done for the excessive mucus, however a septoplasty will help me breathe a lot better, and the improved nasal airflow will probably help dry the mucus. It's an extremely unpleasant procedure and I want to get a second opinion before going ahead with it.
* Back pain: have been for a few adjustments at the chiropractors and feeling great! No more back strain and neck aches, which has relieved the tension headaches and restless leg syndrome. Sleeping much better as a result.
My first beer brew didn't go so well. I poked the grommet in too far and it fell into the fermenter, and as a result couldn't get an airtight seal. The brew became infected and tastes horribly sour. It's my first so I'm allowed to fuck up though. I will pour the 20+ bottles onto the garden, as the yeast makes good fertiliser apparently. Will try again once I move.
Studies aren't going so well. Being off the meds I have fallen back into the non-motivated slackers mode and have trouble concentrating on anything. Have to work really hard to finish ITE2 by the end of the month, I doubt I will get CCNA2 finished in that time so I will extend that over semester 2 along with my software development certificate. Also hoping to have enough time to volunteer at the children's centre at the Association for the Blind on weekends.
I have rebuilt the RAID array in the server as I am removing the 1TB hard drive and want to just use a single array over the 1.5TB drives instead of two. When I need extra space I can just add extra 1.5TB drives in and expand the whole thing. Developing a complicated love/hate relationship with Linux, the more I learn the harder it gets and frustrates me, sometimes I find myself wishing I was running Windows but I come to my senses soon after.
