(no subject)
i had an eeg yesterday to make sure the episodes i've been having for the past month and sudden increase of cluster headaches and reappearance of migraines aren't epilepsy or a brain tumor.
muscle relaxers have eased the seizures significantly.
fatigue is awful.
fibro pressure points are on and off.
checkup with my doc in jersey next saturday to start up treatment for lyme again. not looking forward to it.
also really stressed about embarking on that because its harder to get rid of each subsequent relapse, and the first bout was about 2 years of treatment. this promises to be at least that in theory and when i graduate next may i'm off my dad's insurance. stress and cobra, here i come.
i'm keeping up and doing okay though.
i did a deviantartfest for spring break, in a way. i spent a week with two friends in toronto. was a blast. then i spent 4 days in st louis with a fellow who, despite the distance, i'm happy to call mine. i'm going back in may for 11 days after the semester is over.
so i had a bangin spring break, except for the connection at chicago o'hare where everything was cancelled, i spent the night in the airport, and was aggressively sexually harassed by a drunk probably homeless man (not assaulted though, and i reported him when he abandoned his bags to take a piss. spent the rest of the ngiht in the ladies room of the baggage claim's far end. go me!).
photos that i took are on my flickr. photos that frank took in TO (more of me involved) are on his photobucket.
yes indeedy i've been a busy lady.
i also got a new lens this week. 50mm fixed. f1.8. its fucking great.
and i splurged on some clothes last night cuz my wardrobe is sparse and spring is here.
my sister is trying to get me more work as an actual employee where she works, in addition to my contract work as an editor. i'll go down there and train for a week and then work from home. if that comes to fruition, i won't have to go back to the spree. which will be nice cuz i doubt once treatment starts (and now, for that matter) i'll be in any shape to be on my feet all day.
le sigh.
i'm mostly keeping my spirits up but i was feeling meh when i decided to post an update. go figure.
