I've been working steadily on my outline, it is around fifteen pages now and I'm really happy with the work I've put into it. It is going to be quite enjoyable when I finally get to write it. Not only is the hardcore plotting going to improve it immensely, the delayed gratification and weeks spent thinking, planning and dreaming about the book will make it so much more pleasurable when I finally begin to write.
Went to a general practicioner doctor today, as I finally have health insurance again, and the school can only provide its services for a limited amount of time, so I needed to see about getting my script for Effexor from somewhere else. He agreed to do so, and also checked out some of the other health problems I've had for years now and have had great difficulty getting doctors to take seriously: namely, chronic pain and serious gastrointestinal disorders.
He took a bunch of blood to rule out anything else, but told me that he believed based on my symptoms that I have fibromyalgia, which I have believed was the problem for a long time now. So, I see him in three weeks and will hopefully finally be getting treatment for suffering I have endured for at least the last five years.
Jessica and I had a nice day afterwards, pampering each other, her because she is pregnant of course, and me because I get really weak after having blood drawn. It is so wonderful to be loved so much.
My japanese while delivering pizzas lessons have been coming along well, and I feel like I will be well prepared by the time classes start at the end of August. Hopefully this will make the class super easy, and be one less stressful thing to juggle.
Jessica's brother and his girlfriend came across a really nice umbrella stroller at a yard sale and picked it up for us. While the Graco car seat/carrier/stroller we have is really nice, this will be convenient when we are in a hurry or dealing with limited storage in the car issues. Our families have been wonderfully helpful as we prepare to bring a new life into the world. I can't imagine doing this without a network of support. To all the parents out there who have gone it alone, I am humbled.
I've been listening to a lot of Incubus today. There is something very soothing about their music, yet it still rocks and gets me up rather than "mellowed" the way downtempo does.
And I'm babbling away again. Hope all is well with you.
