when i hear “not the same”, i well up in tears, and it’s one of my least favorite @benjaminfolds songs. the rest rip my heart out.

The Castrol Edge “Think With Your Dipstick, Jimmy!” guy reminds me of Mr Busby from high school EVERY TIME.

realized just now I don’t know how to unclog a toilet. I probably should know that, eh?

Today Nate fixed the drain in the downstairs bathroom sink AND the upstairs toilet. All my plumbing is working now! Woo!

because it’s never “too soon”: http://bit.ly/4a78v8

My favorite houses in Bangor are on Grove Street. Maybe in 20 or 30 years I’ll be ready to buy another house.

Dreams about getting my hair cut … literally.

what’s an @wootoff doing starting in the middle of the day, or have i gone into crazytime?

I bought a house, and I’m finally starting to feel like it’s home. There are still strange smells sometimes, but slowly, this is turning into home. The bedroom with the oxygen-tank-green walls is now a more muted shade of green. The floors upstairs are still all painted. I’m thinking of carpeting my bedroom rather than refinishing it.

It’s frustrating right now, because I need to save money to buy oil. This means NOT spending money on a couch or an entertainment center or a sander to get the floors pretty or art to hang on my walls. I think Nate thinks I’m being lazy because I’m not working around the house.

My arm is still nearly constantly hurting. The neurologist I saw a couple months ago prescribed Elavil, which I did not start taking right away. However, after taking it for a month, I called him and asked him for something else. It didn’t help with the pain at all, but more than that, I’ve been so sleepy all the time, completely unable to concentrate, and just feel fuzzy in my brain. Instead of switching me to something else, like he said was the plan (try it, if I don’t like it, we’ll try another one), he said, “Follow up with your primary care doctor.”

I’m beginning to think that no one wants to help me with this, they’d rather just turf me to someone else.

Just to round out my complaints, I’ve had a headache ever since I stopped the amitriptyline, which a cursory Googling shows to be mainly coincidental, but annoying nonetheless.

More than anything, I want to get better at keeping this up to date. I’ve been lazy about writing. I’ve been lazy about a lot of things. I’ve gained almost all my weight back (I was at a high of 235, then I got down to 186, then back up to 213). Nate bought the Balance Board to go with the Wii, and I’ve lost 3 pounds again … we’ll just cross our fingers I can keep it up. Down. Off. Whatever. But if I keep insisting that I’m going to write, maybe I’ll do some interesting things worth writing about? We’ll see.

i’m forever convinced that i will find a hobby that i’m good at the first time i try it.

I wish there were caffiene drops I could put into any drink I wanted.

Sleeping did not appease the headache gods. Next stop: coffee

I have a headache so I’m going to bed. Don’t much care that it’s a quarter to 8 on a Saturday evening.

paying 10 bucks for an update that i guessed was going to be 20 feels like a bonus somehow. as long as it installs fine, i’m going to bed.

Soooo annoyed with the world today.

Can’t. Get. Moving. Feel like a zombie. Don’t want to eat brains, just want mine to stop buzzing and wake up already.
