Not sure whether the doctor's again is a good idea.

Happy Birthday RoI think a lot - most - of what's going on with me is stress. From an increased fall back into 'being' states that include RPing and writing, from the headaches, to the fact that I had two panic attacks yesterday, and Bing managed to talk me down from another one before I went to bed

::hugs:: I know how that is: the stress, the panic, the money worries.

I am ace, by the way; I had a great send-off from the UK (why is the best curry always in places I'll never find on my own? though this one's near Victoria!) and so far my time with my parents seems to involve going out to lunch with people who are excited to see me. It's fun to be a visiting dignitary.

How am I? Am supposedly busy, am offering you a light hug, am telling you to say hi to Jenny when you see her (even though we've never met ourselves), and am aiding and abetting the lack of sleep of a Weaves.

The Creation Museum are hiring. Some of their requirements are a bit skewed- their barista must have a "passion for God", but it doesn't mention their coffee-making skills. The bookshop clerk needs to be a "consistent witness for Jesus Christ". I didn't know he was up before the beak. Or maybe they're worried he'll go awol again?

The people who float through life are like swans. Able to break your arm with their wing. Serene on the surface but flailing madly underneath. Some people don't show it some do. Anyway the PhD thing? As long as you still want it you'll find a way. You might take longer to do it than you hoped, six rather than five years f'rinstance. It doesn't matter that much. If you need to you could take a part time job as a learning bod, and supplement your savings. (Plus it'll give you experience in dealing with the public- something increasingly important to scientists as y'know.)

I am still feeling like I want to punch a random person in the face. Slightly depressed, slightly stressed, and can't find the reason for it. Am assuming it's probably my hormones (drat you, hormones. Drat you, patch! Just WORK.), or my own emotional disorders.

But. I am not under outside stress that I can't handle, so is not too bad.

And yes! I agree with the Bingster. Money will come from somewhere. And you'll do it. Cause you're awesome like that.

Water might just be because your body needs more liquid? I know I'm always in a state of near-dehydration (I hardly drink anything at all), so I just get thirsty sometimes and start drinking lots of water. And drinking more water does, yes, mean that you pee more often.

So how are you?

My stress and depression pretty much bleed together - it's hard to tell one from the other. I've stopped sleeping again, which I haven't done in a long time now, so my insomnia may be back. Oh joy! I've started having stray thoughts about the failed transplant, which I thought I was over, pop up at random for the last few days. But overall, I guess I'm doing alright.

Or was that a rhetorical question?
