Update
Well, seeing how Ian and Jonathan both updated today I thought I would follow their fine example and update my own blog. Things have been really busy at work, and my excesses of the summer have finally caught up with me. Poverty has hit hard and early this month but fortunately I've got Everquest to keep me at home on the comp rather than going out. I've been thinking of finding a new place soon. My rent is going up to $900 a month and around here thats a lot of money. If I could find a decent place for $500-$600 a month I could save several hundred bucks a month (maybe even something with a backyard for a barbecue!). One nice thing, my Car insurance has really dropped. I was paying $129 a month and now it is down to $99 a month. With some more responsible driving, next year I should have it down to $90.
On the Renee front, I wish I could say things were looking up but they don't seem to be. As a result of the steroids she's been on for almost 4 months now, she has swollen up and gained a ton of weight. Her ankles though have proved to be the biggest problem, they swelled up and started weeping, and basically rotting. Because of this she has ended up with a blood clot in her knee and is now on both blood thinners, and anti-bloat meds. Of course all these pills have lactose in them which is great for someone who is lactose intolerant. I went over there yesterday along with one of her neighbors, who happens to be an old high school classmate of mine, for some tea and cake. It was a good time, but I left feeling cold and sad. Renee is still living in another world and doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of what is happening, though I think it is starting to sink in. The Doctors have been trying to reduce her steroid level but her headaches are coming back which to me seems like a bad sign.
Myself, I haven't been feeling all that great recently. I haven't worked out since I got back from Mikes Dad's wedding and I can feel the lethargy creeping in. I really need to start being active again, and I need glasses... My eyesight has turned to shit and I've been getting bad headaches from a combination of eyestrain and spending 16-18 hours a day in front of a computer. Anyhow, enough whining from me, time to get back to work. Later all and I hope everyone is doing well!
