I appear to have hit the ground running.
A couple of days ago I made some grouchy post because I had been doing all the taking-care-of-myself things -- getting enough sleep and being sure to stay hydrated -- that are supposed to be good for you when you are sick. It didn't work of course, and I was in a state of High Dudgeon because I wasn't back to normal over night. LiveJournal ate the damn thing, anyway.
So I said fuck it, I'm not getting any work done this way and went back to my normal self-abuse. As a result, the world is still inclined sharply to the left, but I'm in a much better state of mind and being productive as hell. Which just goes to prove that sleep-dep and caffeine abuse is in fact my natural state.
I finally went to the doctor yesteray, who tilted my neck in 47 different directions, 8 more directions than the human neck will actually move in voluntarily. Then she drew about 8 gallons of blood and referred me to a specialist. I fell off the sidewalk on the way home -- or to be more accurate, the sidewalk went thataway when I wasn't paying attention. Bastard.
So now she's refered me to a specialist, and he'll send me for more tests and x-rays, and by the time that's all sorted I'll be all better anyway.
In the meantime, I'm punchy enough that I ready to go back to the gym regardless of how spun I'm feeling. I wonder if they'll let me bring in a spotter? "Don't mind the French guy with the cigarette, he's just here to catch me when I fall off the stairmaster..."
"...Or at least to point and laugh."
----------------------------
Had a dream about the new house. Apparently it's possessed.
Damn. Those can be so messy.
And Cheerios has come out with a toasted-oat cereal that comes in
Pride colours.
Better living through chemistry.
----------------------------
In other news, I think I really, really, really hate my job.
Bum.

Date: 2003-05-23 04:50 pm (UTC)it's funny: sometimes the way of doing things that seems natural - no matter how fucked up and wrong it may be to the rest of the world - is exactly how things should be done. i've been doing some cleaning up of my act lately, vitamins, walking, that sort of thing, and i can confidently say that the only good thing about b vitamins is that they turn your pee an amusing colour. it looks like i've been eating hilighters.
things i know about pee

Aren't those just Froot Loops? :-)
Hell, I know I really, really hate my job, but I suspect I like poverty even less.

That's kind of the problem. Two years ago I was stressed out because I didn't have an income.
I think this is coming up now because I'm out of debt, so I have a little more leeway than I otherwise would.
The trick is to take advantage of that without wasting it.
