my horoscope said pack your bags

Mar 03, 2009 10:32

Some time over the last week I developed a twitch in my left eye. Fun times! All the regulars at the library probably think I'm winking at them. (For those of you who read in my diet journal about the new medication I'm on, it started before I started my prescription, so that's not the cause.) It's stress-related, I am 99.9% sure, and I am also ( Read more... )

I went to undergrad in MN, and it is beautiful. I've never been to the North Shore, though, so I'm looking forward to it.

How about some Nick/Greg (or Nick & Greg) and bonsai?

And best of luck with everything.

Fun times.

Nick and Greg...because I haven't asked for them in forever...looking for a place to take their vacation? Hey, you can multi-task! Find rentals for you and them. Win/win.

I hope your med induced trauma fades quickly. It can take a couple of weeks to adjust to new meds, tho. Don't be disappointed if it takes a little time.

Ha! I am more worried that I *will* adjust, frankly. I love this extra energy (then again, I have always loved my manic episodes, and these come without the lows, so it's win/win), and I'm going to hate losing it, which I know will come. I can see how people become speed freaks, is what I'm saying. Not that I am going to, but still. I get it.

Oh, I totally get what you mean. When I first got sick I had a medication (one of literally dozens they tried out on me) that was in a handy inhaler thingy. It was AWESOME. I'd spray the stuff and feel like I could paint ceilings or weave carpets...anything! Since I had been laying in one place staring at the ceiling for weeks at that point I was pretty much in love with that drug. Sadly, the effects only lasted about three weeks and I was back to staring, but what a terrific three weeks. If they'd said the effects would stay but that the drug was harmful? I would have taken it anyway. Yeah. Speed may kill but the allure is there.

Have you had an eye exam lately?

Stress always affects my eyes. The first time it ever happened was the year that I got burned out in school and tried to kill myself.

Since then, my eye has begun to twitch at random intervals and I always hope it's not the beginning of a downward spiral.

Tonight must be the night for me to share everything! I must get offline. Though I think that's all my secrets now - how boring.

As it happens, my annual eye exam is next week.

The twitching really is irritating. Thankfully it doesn't happen to me that often, but my brother-in-law has more or less a permanent tic. It gets worse when he's overtired, but his right eye's always going. That must be annoying.

sunfire1216 March 4 2009, 14:59:26 UTC

Holy crud, that would suck!

duckduck March 4 2009, 13:56:11 UTC

Well, I would ask for Deadliest AU and a little apron action, but whatevs. I know you're working on it anyway, in your head, but maybe if I write it down, it will happen. Or something.

carolinecrane March 4 2009, 14:15:03 UTC

Yes, but it gives me a place to post it, and that is very important. You know, if I get around to writing it. I'm trying!

duckduck March 4 2009, 14:18:49 UTC

How's today? I really enjoyed the movie last night. j and I had another conversation last night about A, because apparently I still can't let go. I wish she would go away and stay gone, because sheesh.

MAKE IT STOP.

carolinecrane March 4 2009, 14:22:16 UTC

Oh, it's hard to let that kind of hurt go. Witness the nonsense I have been talking your ear off about via e-mail all week. I am pretty upset about it, which I'm sure will surface once the anger ebbs. So yeah, I understand. You are welcome to talk to me about it any time, as long as you don't mind when I call her names. Because it's inevitable.

Today is a good day, however. My weight is down some more, I am full of energy, and I am done with my job responsibilities for the week so I can pretty much write comment fic for the next three days straight, if I can get my brain to cooperate. Or maybe I'll work on my novel(s)! What a concept.

Also: Listening to Bob Seger as I type. All is right with the world.
