Wow. For an unemployed person, I'm certainly keeping busy ( Read more... )

I have a theory on the health care debate. My theory is this- if you are not in favor of a public option in health care, then you have never needed health care. Because anyone who’s had to deal with an insurance company for any kind of serious health issue can tell you, it is a fight to get anything covered. I know- I’ve been through it. I have ( Read more... )

My mood has been all over the map lately. Yesterday, it was up. Today, crashing. Ugh. I just have this sense of impending doom. Of course, if doom hits then I guess it's not a mood issue is it? Too much drama, not enough actual productive work is the most likely problem. I should make a point to do actual metalwork during my studio shift ( Read more... )

So, it's been a rather insane week. Roughly Wednesday afternoon, my brain started to fragment. It's hard to explain what fragmenting is exactly, although my t-doc thought the term very apt. Basically, it feels like my brain splinters into a hundred different pieces, each of which is stuck in an obsessive tape-loop on something I'm supposed to be ( Read more... )

Whether or not certain Dieties may hate me, my brain certainly does. I've woken up every morning for the last week & a half with "Beth" (the Kiss song from the 80's) running through my head.

I blame BOB FM.

I really should start bringing my iPod to work....

IUt's been a really good few days for me. To start, I nervously hopped on the scale Monday morning for my weekly weigh-in to discover that somehow I managed to actually *lose* 2 whole pounds over the Thanksgiving holiday, which is pretty amazing ( Read more... )

So the previous post apparently didn't post last night like it should have. I'm not really sure why, unless maybe it's that my computer is frozen in the literal sense. I've been trying a trick to keep me from spending too much time online, which has been to *not* turn on the heater when I come down to check e-mail. Unfortunately, I think it's ( Read more... )

How many times can I break 'til I shatter?
Over the line, can't define what I'm after...
I got to turn this thing around
I'm afraid winter will kill me ( Read more... )

So, third day on the new med, which is supposed to help me sleep at night & have more energy. I slept like crap, had a hell of a time waking & took a three-hour nap once I got home from work ( Read more... )

Or, more accurately, I've got a new drug. It's another AD that works well as a booster to my current AD, so that seems like a good thing. What I'm less sure about is that it's also known to cause drowsiness- so much so that it's only supposed to be taken at night. I'm having a hard time getting the new p-doc to understand that I don't have a ( Read more... )
