► What a week. My vertigo has been in full force the past couple of days, and yesterday morning I had a surprise when I awoke to discover my neck and shoulder in excruciating pain. Seems I aggravated my old grade 8 high jump injury, the one that snapped my neck pinching a nerve in my shoulder and partially paralyzing my left arm. My arm was ( Read more... )

► I guess Stormy is over my yelling at him for jumping up on my night table and spilling water everywhere. This morning I woke up with him laying beside my feet. Also, for the past couple of months he does this thing where if I have my face near him he'll touch the tip of my nose with his own nose. Yesterday he didn't do it, turning away from ( Read more... )

► No doubt it was because I was so worried about going to the electric company and the disability pension office today, but I had a horrible time trying to sleep last night. It wasn't until after 3:00am that I finally fell asleep only to toss and turn and finally wake up around 5:30am. I spent the rest of the morning feeling exhausted yet wire, ( Read more... )

► That's a bit of a relief. My aunt and maternal grandmother stopped by yesterday afternoon. They couldn't stay long, and my grandmother couldn't manage the steep staircase to get to my apartment so it wasn't a long visit. My grandmother gave me envelops, one for myself and one for my sister. She's apparently giving each grandchild a few hundred ( Read more... )

► There was a bit of a surprise waiting for us when Dad drove me back to the apartment after shopping. My apartment building is at the end of a dead end avenue, and access was blocked off my several water department trucks blocking the street as workers had torn up the yard at the corner and were pumping water out of some huge pipe. Dad ended up ( Read more... )

► Picked up a few extra items at the comic book shop today, one planned (my Mera Eaglemoss lead figurine), two not planned. There were more guys than usual standing around in the shop, loafing and chatting, so I browsed for a bit since it looked like I'd have to wait to get my stuff held behind the counter. That was fine because I took the ( Read more... )

► My bedroom is 31 degrees today (roughly 88 degrees Fahrenheit). It's warm, to put it mildly. As always, it's not so much the heat as it is the humidity. Ah well, I better get used to it as there's three months of summer left to go.

► I was awaken this morning at around 5:00am and the room was pitch black. Groggy, I could feel a "presence" ( Read more... )

► Since I was refunded $16 from an Ebay seller last week the money has been sitting in my Paypal balance. Yesterday I finally decided to use it and bought 3 inexpensive (but new) DVDs from the Ebay seller store I bought the batch of Jackie Chan DVDs from last month.

I decided to go for horror films this time and bought:► The Blob (1988; remake ( Read more... )

► I think I'm finally inching towards a nervous breakdown. Yesterday I was feeling really good and chipper all day, until last night when my computer suddenly started going ape shit and I started getting hit with the full force of all my pent up worries and fears. Things have been brewing for awhile now and I'm starting to really feel it now. ( Read more... )

► Dad and Darren brought by the burgundy Queen Anne recliner chair tonight. As predicted, Dean had a mini bitch session when she got home from grocery shopping and saw it (she quickly dropped the attitude and turned wry). Turns out she forgot about picking up my bread and bologna, but assures me she'll pick them up for me this weekend ( Read more... )
