► God, what a rough night and morning. I was jittery and exhausted all night but didn't finally start drifting off to sleep until around 5:30am, only to be awoken by a sudden bang at 6:00am. I spun over in bed and flicked my desk lap on to find Storm sitting atop of my night table, some items knocked over, including my previously full glass of ( Read more... )

► Some good news and bad news came out of the 2012 Cincinnati Comic Expo for me. My friend John attended today, and sadly was unable to find any books or dolls let alone the ones on my list, and artist Robert Atkins apparently canceled his appearance at the last minute so John wasn't able to pick up the 2 drawings we commissioned for me. He said ( Read more... )

► After barely sleeping Thursday and Friday night, I suppose I really needed to crash. I was up all last night and didn't fall sleep until some time between 8:00am and 9:00am this morning. It was almost 4:00pm when I woke up, puttered around for about an hour, and then fell asleep for a further 3 hours ( Read more... )

► My anxiety is starting to get more overwhelming the closer I get to Friday. I really do not want to leave the apartment this week, although I should go to the electric company and the pension offices and just get that over with. I could try fitting everything into next Friday, but that'll just turn it into an even bigger hassle since I have a ( Read more... )

► My nerves are still bothering me today and I really do not want to go out this week. That said, I probably have to since I want to do some banking and I want to get Stormy more of the plan "Sliced Chicken with Wild Rice" canned cat foods. His "pudding poop" started again today after nearly 2 weeks of normality, and I've decided to write down ( Read more... )

► There was an incident this morning with the cat that scared the hell out of me. I was spending the morning in bed reading, when Stormy kept jumping up on my desk and repeatedly shredding at my bulletin board. He did this at least 5 or 6 times in a row, getting squirted with a water gun each time. My nerves haven't been very good this week, ( Read more... )

► While my nerves aren't that bad now, I'm still feeling as "off" as I did yesterday. The "drained exhaustion" sensation is still lingering. Struggling to get any sleep hasn't helped matters. Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight, since Dad's picking me up tomorrow.

► Baring any foolish splurges, I now have just four packages I'm awaiting:► ( Read more... )

► Ha, so much for getting ahead paying my credit card off! Last week my friend John linked me to a pretty neat drawing of Batgirl on Ebay. The drawing is roughly 11" x 17" and inked with detailed backgrounds. The artist is named Leo and the seller is ComiConArt, the art dealer I won and bought a shitload of drawings from last year on Ebay. It' ( Read more... )

► Holy cow! Wow, that made my day! I was feeling really crummy all day, depressed and anxious, but that's cleared up instantly. I got an email from my friend John telling me that Darryl Banks had sent him a scan of the Hawkwoman sketch he arranged for him to draw for me. He later sent me the scan himself and I was blown away! It's gorgeous ( Read more... )

► Oh how they get you with those hidden fees! We got our gas bill yesterday and Dean showed it to me. According to the bill we used $18 worth of natural gas, but our bill has increased from $50 to $80 because of raised and additional "service fees". The price of needing to live in a modern society I guess ( Read more... )
