► So far so good. I've been a bit unsteady all day, but I haven't had any really bad dizzy spells. Still, after around 3 weeks of vertigo I can't help but wonder if this might continue for quite a bit longer, if not become a permanently chronic condition for me ( Read more... )

► My buddy Dran rocks! After months of aggressively annoying tabs auto opening in Firefox, along with extraneous Firefox processes opening in Task Manager, we finally got it to stop tonight. The problems all started in mid December, and we've tried to figure it out several times since (Dran used to work in IT) but couldn't figure out what was ( Read more... )

► I called my grandmother, Mum, earlier to see how she was feeling. My aunt had stressed how tired she was after getting released from the hospital on Monday, that I thought I should wait an extra day. She seemed a lot better than I expected (not quite as depressed as she's been the last couple of times I've called her). I hope she gets better ( Read more... )

► Haven't heard anything yet regarding my grandmother. I'm still hoping it's nothing serious, or is something that can be managed. Just have to wait to hear if they find anything after her endoscopy tomorrow.

Dad called this afternoon from Myrtle Beach and I gave him the news, telling him everything that's been going on this weekend.

► One ( Read more... )

► Yesterday we had the first snow of the season. It wasn't light flurries, but a rather a heavy snowfall that blanketed everything outside in half a foot of cold cotton, snowing from early in the morning until late at night. Actually, the visibility outside was almost nil all morning long as there was also a heavy fog. I found it quite ( Read more... )

► Looks like this is one of "those" days. I've just felt incredibly tired today, like I can't wake up fully and my body is dragging. I feel spent.

► Dad popped in this afternoon and brought me his 2 spinner DVD racks. Awhile back he said he was giving them to me (along with a tall wire DVD rack later on) when he and Claire eventually move to ( Read more... )

► As of yesterday Dean is back at work. Thank God. She also went to work today! Two days in a row after 3 months off is a nice change of pace. That said, she's still getting neurotic and asking me if I think she'll get fired for missing so much. I can't take much more of that, since I can barely manage to cope with my own overwhelming ( Read more... )

► This afternoon I got a surprising phone call. Instead of hearing back from the social worker, I got a call from a doctor (I assume he's a psychologist, but he didn't actually say). Apparently the weekly mental health department meeting had just ended and he was the doctor assigned my case, so he called to set up an appointment early next month ( Read more... )

► Based solely on the law of averages, I suppose it was bound to happen eventually. Earlier today I won my very first Superman art auction on Ebay (drawn by one Ediano Silva). I'm pretty pleased with the drawing because while Superman looks intimidating and forceful in the image, he doesn't look like the raving raging lunatic as depicted in most ( Read more... )

► Started watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind last night and finished it this morning. Modern movies just don't seem to have the same sense of magic, wonder and awe nowadays. Pity.

► So we're still not out of the woods with regards to all of Dean's drama and now I have more stuff to worry about ( Read more... )
