► For the past few days I've been going to bed very early as I seem to run out of steam in the early evening. I'm a lot better, but I'm still not fully over whatever it was I had last week (cold? flu? I have no real idea).

Because I went to bed early I didn't see the email artist Michael Powell sent me until this morning. As I mentioned a ( Read more... )

► Finally went to bed this morning at 9:00am, after sending SatyQ an email with references for my third sketch. Ultimately I decided to ask for a sketch of Marvel's Medusa after all. That will leave 3 more sketches to try to winnow my characters and favourite published characters down to fill. Currently I'm stuck on Mera, Ms. Marvel, Red Sonja ( Read more... )

► After calling and leaving messages on Friday and yesterday, I heard back from my pension caseworker this morning. Thankfully, my meeting and review have been postponed. Dad is to call her when he returns in April and schedule a new meeting ( Read more... )

► It's another one of those glorious weekends where ones nerves and anxiety doesn't take a break. My sleep patterns for the past week and a half have been feast or famine. I'll go a couple of days awake for 20+ hours only to try to fight for an hour of restless sleep. That's inevitably followed by my crashing and sleeping for 10 hour intervals ( Read more... )

► I'm finding this odd and slightly worrisome. It was in late November that I was interviewed by a social worker at the hospital. The interview was a preliminary one and my case would be brought up at a panel meeting with the hospital psychiatrists/psychologists, and they would decide on the best course of action for my case. I was to call the ( Read more... )

► Delivered! Sitting at the computer, I was startled at 8:30am when the apartment buzzer buzzed. It was Canada Post, and I got my parcel from John! It only took 6 days from when he mailed it last Friday, that's not bad timing ( Read more... )

► It's been a relatively quiet day. Spent most of the day asleep, except for when I answered the phone twice in the early afternoon. Dad called to confirm we're going over tomorrow, and to tell me my sister-in-law will be baking me a surprise cake. I'm looking forward to that. My brother called an hour later to wish me a happy birthday too. ( Read more... )

► The biggest surprise of the day today? Going into the basement at my grandmother's house with her and my father to look at the book cases. She had a copy of the infamous 1968 "nonfiction" book Chariots of the Gods?. I think it's an original edition too. Struck me as odd to find she not only had it, but had read it ( Read more... )

► My older sister and I have had this apartment for 2 years now (gained possession of the place in mid August 2008, but didn't both fully move in until the 29th). After all this time I'm still finding horrible little surprises from the previous tenants, that give evidence to the violent rows they must have had. The other day I noticed that the ( Read more... )
