you would not BELIEVE the number i just did on my tub, which involved several go-rounds of playing peter north with a recalcitrant, almost-empty bottle of soft-scrub. note to self: when using salt scrub and/or oatmeal scrub on a regular basis, you MUST also scrub the tub on a regular basis ( Read more... )

the zit by my nose is bigger. and slightly inflamed. i managed to (gently) pop it this morning, and then slathered the area with neosporin. i'm starting to suspect that i actually have some kind of sinus infection at this point, because i've got that crud-in-the-head, hot-and-scratchy inside sort of feeling. will be calling the clinic shortly ( Read more... )

i swear, it's amazing how much shit can be attributed to hormonal shifts. i'm finally feeling halfway normal again. got some cleaning done -- vacuumed the living room rug and the sort of pseudo-hallway no-man's-land between the living area and the bedroom area, as well as getting the rest of the stuff by the bed up off the floor. whee! the cat ( Read more... )

heh. FB just called me for the first time since last weekend. had a nice chat, were talking about shows & movies, and he got all quiet. when i asked him what he was thinking, he said "what are you doing tonight?" hee. so i'm heading over there in a couple hours to watch a movie or something ( Read more... )

christ on a crutch. twenty minutes with two big bins, and i suddenly have a good chunk of my apartment back. enough to start cleaning it, anyway. still have a few more things to deal with, it'll take a while to sort through the bins, but god DAMN this is a relief. and i still have one to go. i could cry. but instead, i'll probably play some ( Read more... )

mom updated again! quite a few lovely pics this time, including a portrait of a llama and a landscape shot of a volcano, that i suspect will wind up framed and hung up in the downstairs bedroom (that's the room where all their travel pics go). also, mom seems to have an eye for good-lookin' tour guides... i wonder if there's more to her than ( Read more... )

( more cleaning )

dammit, it would be a lot easier to get my house clean if i didn't get home every night and feel my anxiety mount until i can't think straight. and of course, if i take a klonopin, i wind up with no drive to do anything ( Read more... )

In the process of cleaning off my desk (I almost have a clean desk again! Yay!), I decided to try and print out a picture of Brazil to bring in to work. Unfortunately, my printer's not printing color right. I've tried changing the cartridge (I'm pretty sure I was way low on colored ink), which at least got me some color, only now it's only ( Read more... )

well, managed to sleep most of the day. it's okay, though; i needed it. am feeling MUCH more rested, and now that i've talked myself out of hiding in bed, am starting to mull over listiness for the afternoon (what's left of it). need to hit the store, definitely. need to make lasagna before my ingredients go bad. need to make more product, ( Read more... )
