Life's a mix.
First there's quite a bit of good stuff. Not only am I dating, but I finally got around to asking, and now I'm officially in a relationship. I'll take it as a good omen that she didnt mentally spontaneously combust the following day. I might have hooked a sane one for a change!
On that note, I noticed she already put this in her journal, but I'll add it to mine as well. So GregWeed and I have been talking about doing the roommate thing after his lease is up. I want more room, he wants lower rent, maybe with the two of us we can accomplish both goals without leaving downtown. To make that even better, j0j0 and I are getting to (are at?) the point where we could see living together. Three people sharing a two bedroom downtown could probably make for pretty decent living arrangements. Here's hoping I can find a plex in NW with a garage or something.
Speaking of living arrangements, I finally found an affordable bedroom set on Craigslist, and ditched my craptastic futon. Ahhhh, the joys of having a real bed.
Socially things have been pretty normal. Lots of hangouts with friends, good times, even got to drop by BrokenBeatnik's place this past weekend for some drinks and hangouts. He needs to spend more time in Portland. We need more quality people.
Unfortunately, good things always seem to be tempered by bad.
My tonsils have gone crazy again. Had a slight sore throat the past couple days. Today they're huge and very very ugly. I left work early, and made a doctor appointment. It cant be a good thing when the doctor takes one look in your throat and says "Whoa, yuck". So... Swabs have been sent off to the lab. I've been put on shotgun style broad spectrum antibiotics again, and told I should not be at work tomorrow, possibly not for the rest of the week. This may be the last straw in my ongoing battle with my tonsils. I suspect the suggestion of having them removed is going to be made, and I dont think I mind the idea as much as I used to. Tonsils included, I get sick 4 or 5 times a year. Tonsils excluded, I get sick maybe once. I suppose the cost and missed work of surgery may be worth it to not have tonsil problems anymore.
It still makes me very anxious to think about it though.
I *dont* like doctors, and like hospitals even less. Anyone have any idea what tonsillectomies cost? I think my portion would be 20%, plus a $300 deductable. Blah.
I think I'm gonna go pass out again. The throat already hurts. Thinking about surgery makes my brain hurt, too.
