I realized one night that I wasn't doing ANY kind of journalling any more, either here or on paper. And I love paper journals. The problem was mostly that I don't have a convenient and comfy place to write at home, and I'm usually tired by the end of the day, so I'd think about writing but never get around to it. So now, I've cleaned up my dried ( Read more... )

Heh, I need to get a bird bath heater - I went outside today to refill the ground feeder and the water was just a big chunk of ice ( Read more... )

I'm trying to start this year off well, work on some new habits to get my life and house in order. When I stopped by my shrink for my quarterly med check, I mentioned that I was kinda in a funk, mostly about how I felt I was sliding, losing that ability to follow through with household chores. Then I started talking about what I *had* accomplished ( Read more... )

Gah. Okay, okay, I know it's a good thing that the lady who mans the snack alcove downstairs knows what I get every morning and wants to make sure it's stocked. But goddamn, I didn't intend to make her my new best friend. If I change my mind in the morning, she wants to chat about it and discuss it and I have to justify it (or at least explain it) ( Read more... )

So it's been about a year since I was diagnosed with ADD - I had a routine maintenance appt with my doc last night and it always reminds me how much better it's been, how much more stable I feel since I became aware of and treated the ADD ( Read more... )

Turns out that it was this partial coordinate set - when you joined the local geocachers' Yahoo group, you got the rest. And I hadn't ( Read more... )

Woot! I had a delightful little impulse moment yesterday - went out and bought a GPS so I can take up geocaching. There are a ton of sites in the Chicago area, probably because we have non-Federal forest preserves up the ying-yang out here. Can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. So I think I'll try to find one of the easy ones closest to my ( Read more... )

Helpful Hint #12931 : Don't have your gynecologist fax the results of your gonorrhea and herpes tests to your work fax machine.

Or at least be there to pick it up when it comes in.

(Heh, the things you find out about people as you wait for a printout.)

I talked to SoilGuy yesterday for the first time in two months. He's a guy I met on match.com - we talked on the phone a few times, went out twice. For some reason, I decided I *did* want to open up that can of worms again and got in touch with him ( Read more... )
