► Waking up this morn was excruciating, as I found my upper back and neck seizing up in pain. More than likely I must have slept with my neck craned at an awkward angle, and the cold and damp weather must be aggravating it. I've tried some muscle and joint rub but so far it hasn't helped alleviate any of the pain or tension. I'm hoping it eases ( Read more... )

► I thought it was amusing this morning when Jehovah's Witnesses buzzed the apartment wanting to talk to me about angels while I was watching a TV show about witches (Bewitched). I didn't tell them that.

► Yesterday I found the generic cream soda I bought too sickly sweet. Dean suggested that maybe it'd taste better in a glass than in the can ( Read more... )

► Woo hoo! I heard from my friend John and he did indeed pick up my Hawkwoman drawing from Darryl Banks at the Derby City Comic Con today (among his many other con sketch purchases for himself; nice haul, John!). Darryl did indeed add "To Derek" to the sketch, so I'm glad about that. It's just a minor thing but it makes me feel that the ( Read more... )

► I was supposed to go out with Dad tomorrow for our weekly "get Derek out of the apartment and pick up groceries" get together. Dad called me earlier this evening and said he was going to be going to my grandmother's early in the morning and paint the front deck at her house, and would pick me up in the afternoon. I said that was fine ( Read more... )

► It's hard enough using the toilet when the cat is in there laying at your feet. Having him hide behind the toilet and then watch and stare wide-eyed at your backside while you **ahem** clean yourself is just that much more unsettling. Creepy too.

► Ugh, looks like that government check I was waiting and hoping for this week is being lumped ( Read more... )

► My nerves are getting worse, worrying about having to finally go out on Thursday. My pulse has been racing all day, I've been panicky, and my vertigo seems to be back (although still relatively mild). I'll probably feel a hell of a lot better once I get through the outing and errands on Thursday, but getting there will be murder since I'm ( Read more... )

► Yep, I'm not going out this weekend, and magically my nerves seem much better. Although I am still a bit dizzy and really tired (I just woke up from an unplanned 6 hour nap) but I think that's because I've barely eaten all week do to my aforementioned nerves. Funny how things feed back on each other ( Read more... )

► I can't really think of anything new to say today, other than my comments on the links below. So here's a list of movies I want to get on DVD but have so far been unable to find let alone get. This isn't meant as an exhaustive on exclusive list, but merely a list of movies I can remember right now that I'd really want.► Gentlemen Broncs

► Not a lot going on today. I finished my chocolate cake from yesterday, so there's that. Dean missed today and is missing tomorrow, so I'm still not convinced she's finally going back to work this week after almost two months. She really needs to get her feet back under herself and push through this. I keep worrying that she might end up ( Read more... )

► What a pain in the ass. Our internet and phone connections were down all afternoon, from at least 2:45pm until 6:15pm. From 6:15pm on to almost 8:00pm, the connection continued to drop repeatedly. I wonder what the hell was wrong.

► Mail is supposed to resume tomorrow, and man do I hope so. The lockout only started on June 14th, but mail ( Read more... )
