• I got food poisoning last week. It was brutal. I threw up so much I got hemorrhage around my eyes and cheeks and pulled several muscles. I'm still not all better but I'm getting there ( Read more... )

• Yesterday my LJ had 43 views. Today it's had 473 and it's still only noon. I blame elisem! Only three abusive comments on that post so far, though, all of which I deleted immediately. I knew some trolls might come out when people started passing it around but such a low number is really nice! Probably my dinky journal is just not worth people's time. ( Read more... )

I've been going on a lot of 3am cleaning binges lately. I only ever do this when things have been hard for a long time and I have been stuck in the rut of being unable to fix those hard things for too long. I get restless at night, even moreso than usual, and I just need to improve something, anything, that I can actually control. One of the ( Read more... )

So last night my poor old dying computer began making this deep WHUUUUUN ... WHUUUUUUN ... WHUUUUUN noise, different from the dying fan noise it usually makes.

Figure out wtf I'm bringing to the NYE potluck. Go to the grocery store. Tidy the apartment some. Call dad for a ride around 1pm. Hit up Sears. Hit up the Virgin Mobile kiosk at Carlingwood, since I'll be right next door, to see if they have any Samsung Galaxy S phones in stock or if they're out too. Go to the post office to pick up my mystery ( Read more... )

My apartment is a giant mess. I have an excuse: I'm disabled and I had the death plague for two weeks. So whereas before I had to carefully manage how and when I got things done, but they still got done, while I was sick absolutely nothing happened except to occasionally handle the dishes. (Thank god for my dishwasher. Seriously. I am never living ( Read more... )

If anyone's interested in what I tried for white noise last night, check out Rainy Mood. It's a link I got from some friends a few months back and I managed to dig it up again while hunting for white noise options. I opened three tabs of it to layer the sound, which made it loud enough that I didn't have to turn my crappy speakers up. (My speakers ( Read more... )

It's been cold and rainy here these last few days, which has made me really happy. Fall is totally my season, and if I could live in it year-round, I would. I've been doing a lot of tea and cookies (I bought three dozen balls of ready-to-bake snickerdoodles from soirenoir, who makes even better snickerdoodles than I do, and now I'm out, so I'll have to buy ( Read more... )
