I start the summer semester on Wednesday. It feels like I didn't have a vacation at all ( Read more... )

Still plugging away at Nigel's costume. Still sick, so it's going slowly. I'll post pictures of the completed waistcoat tonight, since it's definitely going to be done in a couple of hours. We hit a bit of a sizing snag, however, that had to be fixed with the addition of some black satin-side panels. Hopefully it'll look okay and like I totally ( Read more... )

I spent most of today doing schoolwork, because that was really what needed to be done, but once that was finished I got back to sewing. I'm still not done with the Clockwork Girl, technically, but I got so sick of working on it yesterday, that I decided to move on to Nigel's outfit anyway. I really only have maybe an hour's worth of work left on ( Read more... )

I have been feeling like hell lately. Then, when I was talking to Nigel today, I suddenly realized I was probably flaring. The thing is, I haven't flared really badly in a very long time--we're talking months and months here--so I've actually forgotten what one feels like. But it all fits. I've been exhausted and sleeping all the time, and I ( Read more... )

I've got so much to do today that I'm forgoing two of the things that were originally on my schedule. Unfortunately, those two things were the most fun things, namely a play I had tickets for and a party I'd been invited to. Nigel's still going to the party stag, but I've decided to stay home and continue working on things. So far I've managed ( Read more... )

I'd intended to sleep in, but that didn't happen. Shortly after Nigel left (he's going in early today for training) the dogs decided they needed to go out, so now I'm up. I'm still sick, however, though slowly getting better. I'm mostly going to take it easy today and not push myself. I have a lot to accomplish this weekend and I can't do it if ( Read more... )

I can't seem to stay well this winter. I've managed to catch another bug of some sort and am stuck in bed today. I also spent most of yesterday in bed, after getting home from school. I'm becoming really frustrated with being sick so often. I have a lot of things to do but am having difficulty doing them because I can't stay well long enough to ( Read more... )

Following the advice of my doctor, I'm taking the Cymbalta before bedtime now, instead of right after I wake up, and it's made a huge difference. My appetite hasn't completely returned, but I actually managed a decent amount of sushi earlier today, which is a great improvement over the previous days. Also, I've taken the advice of friends and am ( Read more... )

I seem to have acquired a sinus infection. Right now I'm waiting for Nigel to finish showering and then we're off to KSU's health center to see if they can do something about it ( Read more... )

I'm not having a lot of pain in my neck these days, so I'm hoping that means the herniated disc is well on it's way to healing and I can get back to sewing soon. I'd really like to finish a couple of the projects I'm halfway through at the moment, and I'm finding not being able to sew very frustrating. Still, since it does seem to be getting ( Read more... )
