Still waiting to hear back from the doctor. Am I having surgery or not? Girlfriend needs to make PLANS. To my absolute delight, my gay boyfriend and his boyfriend have already volunteered for any post-surgical aftercare I might need, and a ride home has been offered by my fabulous Canadian-ninja coworker, and am I a bad person for kind of digging the whole idea? I'm so desperate for a vacation (or maybe just attention) that I'm willing to be anesthetized and cut open to get a few days of down time and someone to give me a hand around the house. Yeah, it's kinda true.

Taking next Tuesday off to go the dentist, buy and watch Heroes season 2, and possibly get on the phone and see if I can get a new psychiatrist. I suspect that my meds are no longer working as they should. It's so scary - if things don't work out, it could be financially disastrous for me - but the mood swings are starting to wreck me. What next? (My last shrink sadly suggested antipsychotics or anticonvulsants, which are a truckload of no fun and come with severe dietary restrictions and blaaaaahhhhhh do not want. Maybe just NO MEDS AT ALL.)

Sheeeeeeit, if I want to be totally honest, I need six months off. I'm used to having a couple of months off every year (back in the old country, we called that "being unemployed"... well, technically no, it was "frantically writing a novel on a deadline") and I'm starting to show the strain.

Heroes season 2. I can almost taste the delicious deleted scenes. So close!!
