► So it seems we're getting the tail end of Hurricane Irene. In the middle of the night my bedroom was 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) but by mid morning my room had dropped to 22 degrees Celsius (71.6 Fahrenheit). The wind was so strong my bed kept shaking and I couldn't realize why until I noticed that one of the curtains had caught ( Read more... )

► I'm not looking forward to house sitting on the weekend. My nerves seem to be getting worse each day, and I'm struggling with a depressive spell too. Every time I have to house sit I dread going in the days leading up to it, but this time it seems a bit worse. Maybe it's partially because it'll be my first time at the house since before Bruce ( Read more... )

► Since last night I seem to be in panic mode. My heart keeps racing, there's an ache in my sternum, and my shaking and jittery with nerves. I've also had brief moments of lightheadedness and mild dizziness too. Oddly, it hasn't been a full blown panic attack, just a constant thrum of anxiety and nerves running just below the surface ( Read more... )

► So tomorrow is the Rapture huh? Does that mean we'll finally be rid of all those religious fanatics?

► Last night I got the idea to compile a list of my 10 favourite Superman moments for a journal entry. After thinking of 7 I was stuck and posted about it on Facebook. This exchange was the result, which I saved for posterity (I censored our ( Read more... )

► I was hoping maybe I could push myself today and that my stomach would be fine enough to go out this afternoon despite having eaten supper yesterday. Woke up with a bloated aching stomach. It was nothing severe, just mild cramping, but enough to be setting off my nerves. I guess I'll have to wait until Saturday after all ( Read more... )

► Finally went to bed this morning at 9:00am, after sending SatyQ an email with references for my third sketch. Ultimately I decided to ask for a sketch of Marvel's Medusa after all. That will leave 3 more sketches to try to winnow my characters and favourite published characters down to fill. Currently I'm stuck on Mera, Ms. Marvel, Red Sonja ( Read more... )

► I felt a lot better when I woke up this morning. Actually, by 2:00am last night the nausea and sick feeling was gone. A few well timed belches and 3 runs to the toilet help relieve all of that. And I apologize for the mental image.

► Every month or so Deana goes through a cycle where she suddenly needs to be entertained and borrows all of ( Read more... )

► Heard from my friend John a few times today and tonight. As previously mentioned, he's at the Mid-Ohio Comic Con and going to be looking for some things for me for which I'll send him payment this coming week ( Read more... )

► It's feast or famine when it comes to sleep lately. The last 2 weeks has been filled by 24+ hours of barely conscious wakefulness broken up by 2 to 3 hour blessed moments of sleep. Followed by a 10 hour crash every few days. The stress of worrying about my doctor appointment on Thursday, and actually going, has me completely frazzled. I ( Read more... )

► Nothing much to report today. It's been raining a lot. I think we're in for another mild winter since we didn't get any snow in November and while we had a bit on Tuesday, it's been raining since then and the snow is gone. Big difference from the harsh winter 2 years ago.

► Called the comic book shop this afternoon and pre-ordered Showcase ( Read more... )
