Funny things.
Me: "Is your IM down?"
Angel: "IM is down??"
Me: "Mine is."
Angel: "There's something going on in the world... my computer crashed last night."
Why can't a computer crash just because computers do that? Why can't IM be down just because microsoft is like that? IM was down 2 days ago, and something was not "going on in the world." Why does an issue with the computer mean the sky is falling? OH I know what it is... there's a war in the middle east! And there was an earthquake in California! And gay people got hitched somewhere! That's why IM was down. Gee, that explains everything.

So I haven't updated in a long time. Haven't updated here or mightymightypen. I was sort of sick. But I feel better now. My neck is hurting today though--what's up with that?! It's really bugging me. and I really don't want to go to the chiropractor AGAIN!
I talked to my sister last night, and she is REALLY ready for me to move back to savannah. I know my parents have been under some stress, and it would relieve them a lot for me to be there. I could help out with my Papa, and they would have the freedom to take some weekends away because I would be there to keep him company and cook for him and all that. He doesn't require much care; it's mainly that he's a little frightened of being alone. He's afraid something will happen while my parents are gone. And that's totally understandable. He's 80-something and has very poor eyesight, and walks a little wobbly. His mind is as sharp as mine is, though, which is awesome.
Anyway, she is really trying to talk me into putting the house on the market immediately and getting things in order to move back. The problem is, there is no place for my dog until the beach house is ready for me to move into it. And so mama said I would have to give away the dog and the cat if I were to go live with them for 2-3 months until the beach house is ready! I cannot do that. I've had my dog for 3 years, and my cat for 1.5 years, and they are both incredible. I know they're not my children, but I just have such a bond with them. And they love each other so much that I would hate for them to be apart.
I'm thinking about asking some friends here to take Mulan for however long it takes to fix up the beach house. Angela might can do it, if she gets her fence up soon, unless she gets a puppy. When christie and brandon move, they will take their animals, and both dog and cat might can stay with Rebecca... they are keeping the house, and letting Rebecca and some friends rent it. And 2 of my guy friends just moved into a house, and they might be willing to take Mulan--i think they have a fenced-in back yard. So I have some ideas.... And I really think I could get away with having the cat at my parents' house. Their cat doesn't ever go into the game room, which stays closed, so I really think I could keep Virginia in there. She has no front claws, so she will not tear anything up. I could even let her be in there during the day and in my room during the night... ok, now i'm just thinking out loud.

Went to kung fu last night, almost passed out during class. I think it's because I started taking SAMe yesterday. It's a homeopathic thing that is supposed to help my mood, liver, and joints. I don't know if my liver needs helping, but the other 2 could use it. My idea was to get on the SAMe, and then start weaning off the wellbutrin. You can supposedly take SAMe with most antidepressants, including wellbutrin. So we were in class, and we warmed up and then did lots of shaolin kicking up and down the floor, and then mum dips water, and then monkey jumps, and then sifu came out to start our drills. so then i was standing still listening to directions, and i felt really lightheaded. I bent forward and tried breathing slowly, in the nose and out the mouth, and I felt ok enough to start the drill... then i felt bad again, so i apologized to my partner and went to the couch. I sat there a while, and just felt horrible! I really thought i was going to keel over. I have never been so close to fainting. I was sweating like a hog, too. I finally took off my yifu top and laid down on my back with my knees up. And the dizziness started going away, and I stopped sweating, and eventually started feeling like I might be able to get up without falling over. So I guess it was a reaction to the medicine, I don't know. That's all I can connect it with. I made a burger before I left, but if i had bad beef, i would have thrown it up or had diarrhea, and neither happened, and i'm fine today. needless to say, I did NOT take that pill this morning.

My knee is a lot better. It's still a little sore when I wake up or after class, and sometimes it feels stiff--it's doing that today, I think just because of the rain--but it's almost like new! I'm going to try to ease back into sparring next week. Have to talk to sifu about it on monday. The problem is, when i spar, that adrenaline kicks in, and i don't feel anything at all. So my knee is probably throbbing and ready to collapse out from under me, and I have no clue, I'm just hopping and kicking and lunging away on it.

Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut, then Rachel and I are going over to Angel's. Her roommate is in beauty school and is going to color our hair. I'm excited! It's going to be fabulous for spring!!! :)
Then Sunday I am rehearsing with Lynnette for a gig we are doing on the 18th. I'm really excited about that. Her songs are country, but remind me of the indigo girls. Since I'm the guitarist and carry the music, I'm going to attempt that sort of style with it. Her voice is a lot like Emily's, only sort of twangy. And I love harmonizing with her--it's so easy! Some people are really hard to sing with, but with her, it just fits. Maybe something is going to happen with that. I hesitate to do anything about moving because of that... yet i don't feel that being in savannah would be a problem! she travels to florida fairly often to see her family, and i'd come here to visit friends fairly often as well, so we might could make it work. But at the moment i'm only dreaming. I should just focus on this writer's night gig and get us through that.
