First of all, thanks a lot to whoever sent me a valentine on

Another one so soon? Well, yeah...I have way too many tabs open as usual, as I have to close out most of them before my computer crashes. :/

I'm only doing another one of these so soon after the last one because my browser has quickly become cluttered with tabs and I need to close them out so my computer doesn't run as slowly. ^_^; I promise I'll have an RL update ready by the end of the week; I'm not feeling quite up to it just yet.

Since it's been over a month since I last updated, I figure I might as well write one up now.

••• A lot of stuff over the past month has gone better than expected! When my aunt and cousin visited us at the end of last month, it was pretty uneventful in a good way; I didn't get to see my cousin a lot because she got sick and had to be by herself a ( Read more... )

2. Ever since I went back down to 100mg of sertraline, my mood has started to destabilize big time; it's been tougher to work up the motivation to do anything lately, even getting out of bed in the morning. Right now I'm OK, though, and I'm sure things will get better in due time. I finally got around to calling the psychiatrist's ( Read more... )

1. So after exhausting myself writing two papers yesterday right near the deadline, I'm taking a much-needed break today. Even though I have another five-page paper due Tuesday, and a 3000-5000 word essay due in a week and a half -- which I only found out about last Wednesday. Crap. :( At least I don't have that much else to do this week, and I ( Read more... )

So I'm sick again.  Wheeeee.  -_-

It's just another headcold, and it started Thursday night, but like most colds I get, this one has really bowled me over, and for the past few days I've been trying hard not to do anything, popping vitamins and cough drops like my life depended on it, being supremely pissed off about being sick, and trying to stay ( Read more... )

I've just realized it's New Year's Eve, and I still haven't mentioned anything about how my Christmas went like everyone else. Oops. O_o; There really isn't much to say about it; Christmas Eve was spent at my aunt and uncle's place, where I spent a good four hours utterly bored while the adults blathered on about this and that, and on Christmas Day ( Read more... )
