Boy, am I ever behind in posting an update.

I have good news, and then more good news.



I found a surgeon for fills for my gastric band. I'm making a very quick trip to Toronto to see him this week.

And when I say quick, I mean driving there and then turning around and coming back.

It's a relief.




And the other good news...

I actually own a 4gb Creative Labs Zen, and it's truthfully only about half full. And the playlist of which I speak is half again. So that might barely be a gb of music.

It's just interesting to compare to my 32mb mp3 player of yesteryear.
brightredscream:
I got your card yesterday! Thank you so so much biggrin

I have two things to share with you this month.

One's good news, the other is bad news.

But don't worry, the bad news isn't terrible.






As you may recall, just over five years ago, I had weight loss surgery.

I got a gastric band, frequently called a lap band.

It's basically a plastic band strapped around the top part of my stomach.

It both...

starchild228:
My brother got fired from his last job. He got kind of cocky, started feeling entitled. He started messing around, showing up late, not having the correct uniform on, etc. Eventually he went too far. He hasn't been able (or perhaps inclined) to find another job.

We want a more intimidating dog because we both grew up with larger dogs. Him with dobermans, me with huskies and german sheperd mixes. We were looking at pitbulls.

I was looking at some different jobs. Maybe medical receptionist, maybe police dispatcher, maybe a post office position. I'd like to get out of retail if I could. But beggars can't be choosers.

How have you been? Any luck finding a new doctor?

oh they did my good man.
they did. stock pile it.

Hey there!

Time for an update.

And maybe it's just the new anti-depressant doing its' job, but this will be a 'happy' entry.





I'm going to do something different in this entry. I'm going to talk about a crush.

No, not to worry, it's not on you.

I've been a big fan of Scrubs since the first episode. For those who don't know it, it...

Guess who?

Yes, it's me, with an update.

I was due for an update, not only because it's been a month since my last entry, but also because I was tired of how downbeat the last entry was.

If you missed it, I was going through a much darker depression than usual.

Thankfully, I was able to get to see my psychiatrist and he changed...

I know I owe you an update.

I've been extremely depressed.

More depressed than I've been in years.

I don't care about anything.

As my fellow Canadians can attest to, right now our federal politics are about as interesting as anyone alive can remember, and yet I have so little care about it, it's remarkable.

Those who know me, know that politics, while not quite...

Okay, time for an update.

On an unfamilair keyboard, so typing this is weird.

Yesterday my computer stopped working. It turns off a couple seconds after I turn it on.

The thing is only two years old, so it really ticks me off.

I took it to a computer repair place this afternoon, but haven't heard back from them yet.

I'm hoping it's something really...

Hey man how are you? Have you managed to get your computer sorted out?
atticstar:
i am definitely super paranoid about giving anyone my computer without being there to monitor them..

even if it is a friend borrowing it...i will worry something will be erased or messed up somehow...

china was pretty awesome, i got sick before and after...but surprisingly not during...smile

Damn it!

It's been about two months since I wrote an entry.

I try for at least once a month.

Actually, that's sad enough. I used to try for once a week.




Okay, I have no idea whether this will be a classic epic-length entry or something almost managable. Let's see, shall we?




So last week my brother got married.

I met his wife last...

Well, it's that time of year again.

My birthday.

Okay, actually it was a few days ago, on July 14.

I'm 39.

Yikes!





My mom joked that from now on, I'll be lying about my age.




My actual birthday was very uneventful. In fact, I slept a lot and had a headache.

The highlight was my annual late-night birthday call from my best friend Lene....

I removed the piercings because they were hurting me ALL the time. They were fine for a while...I guess that my body just rejected them eventually. I miss them, but only for the look.
Well, when I say got rid of the black...they did technically have to remove the colour smile

What's going on, good sir? How's everything with you? smile

Last night was the annual SuicideGirls gala in Toronto, so of course that means it's time for my annual post-gala report.

My third annual, in fact.




As I've mentioned to a few people, a week ago I was having doubts about attending. Between my low energy levels and a low mood, I was debating it. But I talked myself into it. I know my depression...

I'm back from having medical tests in Toronto.

Based on my blood and urine tests, I'm in perfect health.

All my nutrients are at ideal levels. My blood sugar, cell counts, all that stuff is ideal too.

Even my liver function is great, which surprised them due to all the meds I take.

They sent me for a sleep study, feeling that it may be...

It's all good- there wasn't too much conversation on our end of the table anyway - I think we were all a little too hungry and overheated to excitedly learn all we could about each other..

but now you know I am on the site anyway, smile

So... I'm leaving Sunday morning for Toronto.

My appointment at the clinic is Monday morning, and will span 3 to 5 days.

Yes, that's really how long it will take.

But I'm really hoping that they will finally figure out why I'm so tired all the time.

Kind of anxious about it. I mean, what if they can't figure it out?

Okay - I'll try...

I'm alive!



Still tired, but still have a pulse.



If you don't know what I'm talking about, read my previous two entries to catch up (don't worry, they're not epic length).



I'm tired of talking about it, so I won't bore you too much with it.

I will offer a brief update.

Apparently my heart is fine. I say apparently because my doctor didn't say...
