sj thanks.

I'm doing okay even though I feel like crap. Getting out of the house made me feel better. I see my shrink Thursday and have other dr's appointments and reasons to get out of the house the rest of the week.

I mean, I feel bad and stuff but I understand what's going on and I know medication changes will happen this week so I'm trying to focus on that.

Belatedly (cause it is already afternoon):

Happy anniversary to both teacups. You are both lucky to have found one another.

Happy birthday to Jessica! Hippo Birdies, Happy Jessica day!

I'm thinking of titling a book review I'm submitting "Ghouls Never Get to be the Cool Kids". (I'm reviewing a book called Catatrophism which basically argues that in politics and political organizing, Dystopia is for losers.) I want to make sure I'm not unintentionally insulting Goths. I don't think this unfair to Goths, since Vampires, Werewolves and a number of other types of supernatural generally are rated way cooler than Ghouls. But maybe there is a whole Goth sub-culture who thinks that ghouls in particular are cool. Jilli? Any other Goths or Goth adjacent who wish to comment?

I just got back from the open house at the gym. I have a 2 week trial membership, and an appointment for a free session with a personal trainer on Wednesday. I will go to the gym. I will go to the gym. I will go to the gym.

This may align with the interests of some Buffistas.

Dropped friends at airport, then picked up D from work. We grabbed sandwiches from the grocery store and had dinner at his place. Instead of watching something like we frequently do, we just talked. I asked some questions about his family and found out that he and his family were actually Lubovitchers for about 8-10 years. FASCINATING. I wonder how long we have to date before I get to see those pictures with the hat and the beard and all.

Got two suitcases unpacked. Since I'm not sure when the closet will acutally be done, I decided to start to hang stuff up, finally. Still have 3 more suitcases left to unpack (yeah, I ahve too many clothes). Also have about half the CD's sorted and on the shelves. Not bad, considering going on day 9.

Now, let's hope mey fears are not realized. My sinuses are aching, and feel like they may be filling up. I really hope I don't have a cold coming on.

I hope not, too, omnis. I'm on the tail end of a cold. Which means hacking up a lung. Joy.

How are you feeling today, Hil? I'm hoping your birthday is a pain free day, followed by many many more of the same.

Cold germ busting ~ma all round!

Happy birthday, Hil!!
