► My recent difficulty sleeping has been worsening all week. Each day I've had to manage with just a couple of hours of restless sleep, and I think it's triggered a return of my vertigo from earlier this year. Yesterday I feed the cat an hour early at 3:00pm and then went to bed, shutting my door. I somehow managed to fall asleep and slept ( Read more... )

► I'm not sure how much of it is Stormy getting closer to me, or whether I'm just the warmest thing in the apartment available to him since the temperature dropped, but for the past week he's been sleeping with me a lot. When I woke up today I was surprised to discover him curled up atop of my groin. After awhile he moved down to my thighs, then ( 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... )

► I sometimes go weeks if not months without thinking about the lottery, but when I reach rough patches I start to become obsessed with it ( Read more... )

► Dean picked up my package at the post office today. It turns out it was a Superman book I bought from Ebay just last week. It shipped on Monday and was already here by Friday. I found that shocking until I realized the seller is based in Ontario, and just a few hours away.

► In addition to picking up my parcel, Deana also finally dug out ( Read more... )

► Yesterday certainly was a full day, if I may say so. From the apartment to Michael's and PetSmart on the North end of town, on to my grandmother's on the West end, then downtown to the bank and comic book shop, back to my grandmother's, then up around to Bulk Barn on down to Walmart and finally Food Basics before finally heading back to the ( Read more... )

► Updating my LiveJournal is increasingly becoming a pain in the ass as the constant crash cycling of Firefox makes it hard to work on entries. It's frustrating when you keep having to interrupt yourself while writing so that you can save and back up what you've written least a crash wipe everything out. The problem is that having to do that ( Read more... )

► So yeah, it turns out that the television Dad picked up yesterday was the right one after all. We went to Sears early this afternoon and found out that the specifications card in the display for the TV was actually for a 42" television, and that they don't have any 32" TVs with 1080p. So it's the right television, and despite only having 720p ( Read more... )

► Today really sucked. My nerves had been so bad I barely slept last night and had a horrible tension headache all morning. Things seemed to brighten up once I got out of the apartment and to my therapy appointment, and continued to improve after that when I met up with Dad again after he had picked up my new flat screen TV. We picked up some ( Read more... )
