I actually rather dislike Seinfeld, but, like the Soup Nazi, "Serenity Now!" is one of those things that's stuck in the pop-culture paradigm. And it perfectly sums up how I'm feeling right now.

Let's just say I had a shitty day, after a shitty day on Friday. It seems that the clinic system in my area is determined to thwart me and make my life as ( Read more... )

I've been down with the flu and now a series of horrendous migraines these past two weeks. This has prevented me from doing basically anything but sleep and watch some tv while lying in bed. I have to really force myself to get up and walk downstairs to pee and get food/drink. I see the neurology department on the 9th, but I doubt they'll do ( Read more... )

So, I'm going to try something different for an experiment. I don't know how long this will last, but I'm gonna try. Basically, I'm going to try to keep y'all updated on the goings on by posting at least a bit of something every day. Unless there are really weird circumstances, I tend to get on my computer at least once a day. During that time I'm ( Read more... )

I realize I haven't really posted decently in a while. There's a reason: one of the medications I was on was making me so tired that I just couldn't function and I ended up spending all of my time lying down/sleeping. It's technically a blood pressure med (a beta blocker) that I was given to help my migraines - and I figured would also help all of ( Read more... )

So, as my tiny mobile post mentioned this past week, I had a nasty accident Friday before last. Basically, I was walking up the stairs back to my room when I got dizzy and half-fainted backwards, ending up flat on my back on the landing. My whole spine, particularly my tailbone and neck, are in owwie land. At least I was only two stairs up from the ( Read more... )

I'm quite annoyed. Mainly, it's because I'm just stressed to the gills. I'm also in a hell of a lot of pain right now, and thus have a much shorter fuse than normal.

( I FOUND A THERAPIST I LIKE AND CAN WORK WITH!! )

Bad news first: For some reason, I was missed for the tele-town hall meeting on health care. I got a call where an automated message told me that they were sorry I had missed the beginning, but if I called this number and entered this code I would be able to join in. Naturally, they rattled off both numbers before I could write them down, and didn' ( Read more... )

My continuing saga: I now have an appointment on Wednesday to see a doctor at a location in SW Houston (I live in the extreme NW). It's at 8:20, but I have to arrive at 8. Which means I need to leave my house around 6:45 to get there on time since I'll be fighting rush hour traffic. In good traffic it's about 30 minutes. In bad traffic, it's at ( Read more... )
