i forget - forgot? - that sometimes, relationships really do require effort. it's challenging for me to gracefully back down when a huge bump comes up in my normally smooth road. but, the thing about bumps is, they're over with pretty quickly. i do wish i was better on the graceful part though ( Read more... )

i was supposed to clean today. whoopsie ( Read more... )

ah magnesium. too little, the body suffers. the right amount, and the body relaxes. too much, and the body says OMG TOO MUCH TOO MUCH INTESTINAL CRAZY TIME!

funny how minerals only absorb to a point.

i am doing much better though! overall swelling is down, and the spasms are clearly defined in my leg muscles. i cannot, however, elevate my right leg ( Read more... )

i take my supplements far more regularly on days when i work. i have a much more established eating schedule on those days, and there are specific time slots for supplements in between. however, on days when i'm at home, i often skip one or two doses, and that's really not good. so, i went into my calendar, and created a daily event for supplements ( Read more... )

danny's phone has been dying a slow yet annoying death, so we ran the numbers -- turns out paying for 2 iphone plans costs the same as paying for my iphone plan plus his old plan. so friday, after a hasty dinner, we went to the at&t store.

 well, a few months after the fact, i finally got around to selling the ipod nano that came with my macbook pro. unfortunately, i got lazy and didn't try to sell it immediately; as such, the new nanos came out and i had to mark mine below their price point, since the old nano doesn't have the genius or accelerometer features. still, i got $130 for ( Read more... )

 Blizzcon is now T-4 days and counting. eep. everything aiden-related is ready to roll, but everything human-related is still a mess. it's funny how, even though i hate coming home from vacation to a messy house, i'm willing to live in one... anyhoo, there's some cleaning i'd like to do before we leave, but i'm working monday through wednesday, and ( Read more... )
