Day 396

So today is day one of weaning myself off the meds. To see what happens.

Given that I am having a particularly dizzy day today, I'm quite looking forward to being done with them.

On the other hand, life hasn't exactly been stress-free so I'm also a little apprehensive. But I figure this life will start being stress free approximately six days after I stop breathing, so whatever.

So anyway. If you notice my behaviour being unusually um, aberrant over the course of the next month, let me know.

bullet points!

I made my RFTC goal - $809.23. I am therefore bald. I got my head shaved in the cafeteria in front of a beiberillion people. I will get around to posting a picture as soon as I remember. Ha.

You know what this means - Fester costume for Halloween.

I'm now in the market for a decent wig so I can stealth at work. I want something that looks reasonably authentic - any locals know of storefronts that sell ones that are supposed to look like your actual hair as opposed to fun wigs? I know I can order them online but I want to try some on first and figure out what I want.

I had my final MRI done on Friday. To celebrate I got 6 of the old holes in my ear replaced. Being poked with needles so much for medical stuff had made me forget how much I love being poked with needles in a recreational context, so that part was pretty cool. Having some of my jewelery back also makes me very happy, although I now wake up very abruptly if I happen to roll over onto my left side in my sleep.

The Gin Palace is at the stage of unpacking art and hanging things on walls. I swear this part is taking as long as the actual construction. Axel & I are considering a combined drink-all-our-booze & take-away-all-our-books party.
