► I'm continuing to slowly feel better and more solidly on my feet with each day, although I had a really bad dizzy spell yesterday around noon and opted to spend the rest of the day and night in bed reading. Finally managed to finish a few tradepaperbacks that have been sitting unfinished on my bookcase headboard along the side of my bed for a ( Read more... )

► Sleep proved to be a very elusive prey last night and this morning. My nerves were so jittery that each time I started to drift off I'd suddenly start shaking awake. Eventually I did manage to get a few hours of sleep, but I've been feeling partly groggy and partly frazzled since I woke up ( Read more... )

► Feeling mildly depressed today. I was going to start washing my bedding and comforters (it'll take three or four loads) but I just couldn't be bothered today. I just feel spent and worn down and don't really want to deal with anything right now ( Read more... )

► Today I'm feeling a lot better. On Monday and Tuesday I had a bad case of diarrhea, which I think was caused by the frozen tourtière my paternal grandmother had made for me last month, which I cooked Sunday night. It was delicious, but god it didn't agree with me ( Read more... )

► My sister is going to make me start drinking...

► Huh, that was a surprise! As a fluke the other day I bid on a loose (out of the package) "Star Wars Unleashed" Slave Leia action figure set. I was quickly outbid and thought nothing of it, until earlier today I noticed there hadn't been any further bidding. So as a lark I entered a new bid, ( Read more... )

► My ears are still sore. Dad picked me up around 1:00pm, as usual, for our weekly excursion and our first stop was to my grandmother's house to check on the cat and the mail as she's away for the week. When we got to the house, we had to quickly get in so Dad could use the code and turn off the security alarm. Unfortunately the code wasn't ( Read more... )

► Thanksgiving dinner at Dad and Claire's actually went well. Had a nice meal with ham, although I'm still dying to have a real home cooked turkey and gravy dinner (since it's now been a few years). I was given 5 slices of leftover ham and a small tub of mashed potatoes, which I'm looking forward to frying up for supper tomorrow. God, how I ( Read more... )

► Last night was miserable. Around 5:00am I was suddenly aware that my stomach had bloated and was in pain along with feeling sick with nausea. Adding to that, I started having signs of vertigo, feeling dizzy and disorientated. Both systems eventually started easing up, though, after I was finally able to get some sleep several hours later ( Read more... )

► I think I slept too much... I've been characteristically anxious and worried about going out tomorrow since I have to run so many errands, but last night I slept a full 8-9 hours, and then fell asleep for a few hours this afternoon. My head has been groggy since then ( Read more... )

► The past couple of days have been odd. I've been falling asleep early each night, and in turn waking up early, which is actually probably good. Unfortunately this is mostly because of exhaustion, anxiety, and horrible tension and stress headaches ( Read more... )
