I went to the doctor's this morning. After she figured out that I wasn't there about the referral she'd given me over the phone the day before (to go to a physical therapist about the ankle), she confirmed that yes, I have another sinus infection, and prescribed me ( Read more... )

It never ceases to amaze me how much things I can control affect my state of mind. Earlier today, I was in a Mood - I had spent the day on a friend's couch. Originally I'd gone over to watch a Six Nation's rugby game (France vs. Ireland - Ireland lost, boo!), but that had turned into several hours of MTV's "16 and Pregnant."
