5/28/2002 Going off my medication was so not a good idea. I only made it five days before the heavy feeling took up residence in my stomach again. That was my final indicator. So I started taking it again, and I'm pretty much back to normal again, I think. I'll try cutting the dose in half next and see how that goes.Robin, Brannon, Lisette, and Trey came to stay with me over the weekend, so that was fun. ^_^ They came to see John Mayer perform at Jubilee. I, on the other hand, attended graduation at my old high school. The senior speaker was wonderful. Probably the best graduation speech I've ever heard. ^_^ But the highlight of the evening was watching Dr. Browning make faces during the opening and closing prayers. ^_^ Heh. Priceless. Mom starts her summer term at AUM tomorrow, so I'll be by myself in the house a lot more. With nothing to do, since Ellie is now working Monday through Friday from 8 to 5.... So I'm left with one question. What am I going to do this summer? posted 9:19 PM / post 5/24/2002 Full Of GraceThe winter here's cold and bitter, It's chilled us to the bone. We haven't seen the sun for weeks, Too long, too far from home. I feel just like I'm sinking, And I claw for solid ground. I'm pulled down by the undertow, I never thought I could feel so low, And, oh, darkness, I feel like letting go. If all of the strength and all of the courage Come and lift me from this place. I know I can love you much better than this: Full of grace, full of grace, my love. It's better this way, I said, Haven't seen this place before. Where everything we say and do, Hurts us all the more. It's just that we stayed too long In the same old sickly scheme, And I'm pulled down by the undertow, I never thought I could feel so low, And, oh, darkness, I feel like letting go. If all of the strength and all of the courage Come and lift me from this place I know I can love you much better than this: Full of grace, full of grace. I know I can love you much better than this. It's better this way. posted 9:34 PM / post 5/21/2002 So back to my doctor's appointment last week... We decided to take me off my medication for a little while and see how it goes. I'm not sure how long it will take to get it completely out of my system, but I've missed two doses, and I still feel fine. Keep your fingers crossed. ^_^Ellie's finally home for the summer. Yay! So is Charlie and kitty, by the way, I'm not sure I mentioned it before. He had to start work right away because dad was short-handed at work... So my poor brother is stuck in the warehouse and making deliveries all summer. Oh well. So far, dad hasn't said anything about my current jobless state, and I'm hoping it will stay that way. It's not like I didn't try.... And if worse comes to worse, he'll probably just make me work on a new website, so how bad can it be? Ellie will be here in a few minutes, and then we're going to the mall to try on prom dresses that we don't need and won't buy, just for fun. We're crazy, we know, but that's why you love us. ^_^ Or it should be, but hey, I'm not picky.

Good.I guess it evens out, huh? posted 3:30 PM / post 5/14/2002 I'm feeling a little better, but I'm still taking meds about every five hours to make sure I stay that way. So we'll see. ^_^Hope you like the new design! I do. ^_^ Listening to: Tomorrow Never Knows by Love Spit Love. posted 2:02 PM / post 5/13/2002 I updated my about page to reflect my current reading material and fixed the links for the daily reads and on the archives page. I'm being so productive...I woke up feeling like crap this morning and ended up spending most of the day in bed. But I took some extra strength advil and some afrin awhile ago, and I'm feeling much better. Damn allergies. And on another note, I have a new layout to put up. More summery color scheme. ^_^ As soon as I finish coding, I'll upload it. Hope ya like. ^_^ Listening to: Elsewhere by Sarah McLachlan. posted 11:05 PM / post 5/12/2002 I'm finally home and all settled in. I still have a little bit of unpacking to do, but that won't take long. At the moment, I'm debating whether or not to go to the graduation or not today. I don't even know when it is, actually. Oh well.I had been planning to move out of the dorm last Monday afternoon, and then I realized that I wouldn't have time to pack before then. So I managed to change my checkout time to Tuesday at 6:00 pm. I had to pack in one day, which was not fun at all. But I got it done. My only problem was the power strip. The one I had in the corner of my room to plug all my computer stuff in. It's stuck to the floor. Yeah, stuck. Like glue. Only it's liquid air freshener. I would love to know what the hell was in that stuff that would make it stick like that. But anyway... Yeah, they'll definitely be charging me extra for that... I finally got checked out of my room about an hour after my assigned time, but stuck around for awhile to keep Trey company until Brannon got back from her fencing final. So we talked for awhile, and then went to visit Robin down the hall. And when Brannon got back, we decided to go out to Marble Slab for ice cream. ^_^ After that, we drove to ASF and sat outside to eat and talk. I didn't get home until about 10:30, at which point I had to unload my car... Including my tv and computer. Not fun. And then I collapsed into bed and slept as long as I could. The next afternoon, Brannon called, and I went back over to the dorms to help her move out. She was the last one left in our cluster, so she had to make sure everything was clean. And she didn't have anyone to help her pack, so I had offered to come by. That took about four hours. Argh. I can't even remember when I got home... I think it was around 7. And Brannon didn't make it to my house until 9 or 9:30, I think. She had to go buy spackle to fix her walls, and she didn't want me to have to wait on her. So I went and picked up our dinner (pizza, of course) and went home to wait. Brannon had to stay with me until Friday so she could finish her finals; she missed about four days the week before because she had to go to Florida for her grandfather's funeral. So Thursday. We stayed in all day (except for lunch), and Brannon kept working on her finals. She took her music final that morning, and after lunch she worked on LAS. Charlie made it home that afternoon, too, so kitty was running around. And at some point Thursday, we had to hook up Brannon's computer in my room because the floppy that she put all her files on wasn't working. Fortunately, she managed to get everything done (I think), but I wasn't here to see her leave. Friday morning, my mom and I left for Georgia to visit my great-grandmother (Irene), my great-aunt (Barbara), and my great-uncle (Gerald). Grandma Irene moved in with Aunt Barbara sometime last year after her "accident." I still don't know what happened to her, actually. Just that she was in the hospital for awhile and on life support. After that, they sold her house in Wichita and she came to live with Aunt Barbara and Uncle Gerald in Hazlehurst. My cousin Tina lives with them, too, but she has her own place on the property, so she's not actually in the house with them. The drive Friday took about four hours. We stayed in a hotel that night, and drove another hour and a half or so to Hazlehurst the next morning. We visited with them all that day, and drove back to the hotel, and then we came back to Montgomery this morning. As soon as I got in, I hooked up my computer. I think I was going through withdrawals. ^_^ Ah, it's good to be home! Now I just need to figure out when graduation is, so I know when Robin will be in town...

Cath is currently indisposed, but rest assured that she will be back as soon as humanly possible (i.e., after getting through finals, moving out of the dorms, and keeping Trey from having a nervous breakdown).Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, The Management. posted 2:28 PM / post |
