I feel like crud, but at least it's not emotional crud? For the past few days I've been low-key nauseated and light-headed, which has not been fun. Especially since my university switched to 8 week blocks instead of full semesters. (They used the pandemic as an excuse but I think it's something administration wanted to do anyway.) This means that ( Read more... )

Blech. Since Sunday morning, the awful mind-numbing brain fog that comes with a sinus infection has lifted, although there's still some sinus pressure and I currently have a headache. I lost my voice most of the way on Sunday as well, which was excellent timing as I was in rehearsal for The Second Shepherd's Play, a task I've more and more come ( Read more... )

Michael's has yarn!chester sized doll stands for $1.50, so I bought 5. Mwahahaha ( Read more... )

Sick-- as in, I am sick. It's allergies/sinus, so no big deal, in the grand scheme of things, but it's making me miserable. Thus far I've medicated with OTC stuff, but if I don't feel better by the time I get through class tomorrow, I'm hitting up the health center. I doubt they can do much-- they may well not even give me antibiotics-- but I ( Read more... )

1. My eyes. I saw the eye doctor over break, and he assures me that in general my eyes are fine. However, when they get really tired (and I'm beginning to suggest that it involves stress, too) they don't want to focus properly. (When he tested me, for the first time ever, I had trouble making the dots line up. My muscles want to not line up-- I ( Read more... )

I ate a popsicle. And am drinking hot tea. And now my teeth aaaaache. I've never had sensitivity to hot or cold foods before. And this achiness is lasting and lasting. I'm not a happy camper. (And I was at the dentist just two weeks ago and got a clean bill of health ( Read more... )

I neeed this book. Why are you so expeeeeensive???? Neeeeed this. As in, for the dissertation. Need need need. The bibliography alone is requisite. I might, I suppose, be getting it for Christmas as it's on my wish list, but I doubt it. And ASU's library doesn't have it. I currently have it on ILL, but need to return it tomorrow because of ( Read more... )

Not much has developed in their relationship over the past few chapters. The only big new I haven't shared is that his father doesn't approve of her. And that they canceled a date (although I use the term loosely) to the zoo because of a difference in world views. I'm unclear on this last bit ( Read more... )

Since you guys rocked at the whole Finding Eilonwy an External Hard Drive thing, wanna help with more stuff?

Here's the thing: I suck at projecting. My voice doesn't carry very well, and I'm not very good at being loud. When I need to be loud, or when I just plain need to talk a lot, I end up with a sore throat. Every time. If I go to an ( Read more... )
