hi livejournal, it's been a long time
so long, in fact, that i think my last post was about a year ago. i have a hard time remembering to update, but i still come here almost every day to read. maybe there's an app that will be useful. hrm.
my health is surprisingly good. the chemotherapy cocktail my rheumatologist prescribed two years ago worked. she warned me that it would take a year to see the full effects, and 18 months later, lupus is surprisingly quiet. i still have creaky joints when i wake up, or try to move after being still for a while, but that's probably going to be a lifelong kind of deal. i have more consistent issues with fibromyalgia. i'm constantly grateful that both illnesses are relatively quiet.
i've been feeling so good that i am kind of thinking about looking for a part-time, sit-down type job. i have ideas, but nothing concrete yet. i'm going out of my mind with the not having anything to do. i fucking finally earned my BS in may of 2012. sooooooo many years of struggling through. no thoughts on grad school, other than "not really." now comes the fun part of trying to convince a potential employer that an anthropology degree is actually useful... and it is, people just don't know how it can be applied.
as per usual, i'm using the computer as a tool of procrastination. on monday i fly down to florida to visit my parents, and i have Things To Do to get ready, but here i am fucking around on the internet.
if anyone reading wants to keep up with me on other parts of the internets, i have a tumblr and a twitter account; i am maggiemunkee at both places.
