Going back to the tick-tock to get the boo-boo
(Name that quote!)
I've been looking for a new alarm clock over the past couple of days. The one I'm using currently I've had since freshman year of college - 10 years ago (I feel old now, great.). It still works, but it's bulky because it's a radio/phone combo and I don't use the phone at all. I don't even have landline service in my apartment. Plus, I usually leave my iPhone out in the kitchen to charge over night and there's always this niggling fear that if someone were to break into my apartment at night, I wouldn't be able to call 9-11 because my phone is not beside me. So I thought, an alarm clock with an iPhone dock! Should be simple enough, right? WRONG-O.
First of all, waaaay too many options. I get easily overwhelmed by the choices and then can't make a decision.
Secondly, I do not - DO NOT - want to play $75 (or more!) for something I'll probably just use to wake me up in the morning. Granted, I do listen to my radio every now and then, but still. $75 seems ridiculous.
*sigh* I think I like this one the best so far, (the display is pretty sweet), but $60...
I've been... out of commission for the past two weeks. My old friend from 3 years back - an anxiety attack - hit me out of the blue a couple of weekends ago and today is really the first day that I feel something like normal. I'm trying not to self-diagnose, as I know that it's not the most helpful thing, but as the rest of the week I was really depressed and not anxious, I wondered if I could possibly be diagnosed with depression? The idea is strange to me, as I feel like I'm normally cheerful and, well, "normal." But whatever it was, I'm glad to be feeling better.
I still am considering looking for a counselor - I have a friend who suffers from panic attacks and he recommended that - but I'm not ruling out something physiologically wrong either, which is why I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. Hopefully it's gone for now and if I can figure out what's wrong while I'm feeling good to prevent it from happening again in the future... that would be nice.
Oh, and I also have an appointment with an oral surgeon next week about my wisdom teeth.
