► **sigh** It seems the mysterious vertigo I had earlier this year has returned. Yesterday when Dad was finally driving me back to my apartment after our outing I suddenly had a feeling of falling while sitting in the moving car. The sensation just suddenly overtook me and I was light headed and unbalanced for a few minutes. I chalked it up to ( Read more... )

► Last night I actually got a good 7 hours of sleep as I'm finally crawling out of my recent insomnia rut. Though it did some good, it was offset by my waking up at 2:30am which meant I was dragging my ass when Dad picked me up midday to run errands. The outing, which was supposed to simply be to go to the comic book shop, Walmart and then my ( Read more... )

► I'm definitely feeling a lot better this weekend, as most of the flu or whatever it was that I have has worked itself out of my system. That said, I still have sinus congestion and I occasionally get overcome with fatigue and need to lay down. The point remains, however, that I am better ( Read more... )

► 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... )

► This morning I couldn't get the strength to get out of bed (well, after I feed the cat and scooped out his litter box). I just felt so drained, exhausted, and worn out. My nerves had started to act up yesterday and I've been jittery since, so finally around noon I realized I'm in a depressive spell. They sort of just come out of nowhere ( Read more... )

► The heat did break yesterday evening, and we had a nice cool breeze wafting through the apartment for several hours. The odd part is that today has been much sunnier and brighter than it's been in almost a week, despite the much cooler temperature ( Read more... )

► Today seems to be my day for doing things I've been neglecting, such as scrubbing the pots and pans in the kitchen, and finally getting a chance to do my laundry ( Read more... )

► My cat's favourite show? Watching the toilet flush. He comes running from one end of the apartment just the see the water go down. Stormy puts his front paws on the seat and cranes his head forward to look in the bowl. It's cute but also bewildering. I keep worrying that one day he'll fall in, especially when he jumps up on and walks around on ( Read more... )

► Living with a cat for 2 weeks has been interesting, to say the least. Dogs are so easy to read, but cats seem to be naturally enigmatic ( Read more... )

► Just a few days until Dad leaves for his 2 week trip in Italy with Claire. Two months in Myrtle Beach followed by two weeks home and then two weeks in Italy. I'm sensing a pattern here.

► I read my latest comics and I really have no idea what's going on in Stormwatch. I don't know if writer Paul Cornell is just making stuff up or if I ( Read more... )
