danaerisI'm feeling somewhat less psycho, but I suppose it could come back at any moment. Fear the psychoness!
Anyhow, good news:
(1) I got a call today. They were in the process of faxing my referral to the PCOS clinic! Yay! PCOS clinic for MEEEEEE!
(2)![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pyat has graciously offered to drive me to the MTO on Friday so that I can get my Ontario Driver's License! Yay!
(3) Someone from the poly list who I was chatting with back whenpolybear and I were looking together popped back up and is still interested. Yay!
(4) Progress is being made on the sleepwatch article. More slowly than I thought, but elegantly presenting this much information concisely is no simple task, as it turns out.
(5) I'm down to 15 mg of Paxil, and have been for several days. So far, so good. No particular signs of withdrawal except possibly my continued anxiety and irritability. w00t.
(6) In general, I'm more functional, more consistently, these days, than I have been in, possibly, years. Really, I'm getting things done at an unusual rate for myself. It's pretty cool! I have more energy, emotionally speaking. I attribute this to my change in diet.
(7) There's this cute girl, and I kinda like her, and she likes me back, and... and... I'm blushing! (note: to everyone excepttruthspeaker, this is a direct reference to a character I played at an Intercon)
Mixed news:
-I called Telus to finish switching my cellphone into my name, since my mother called them the other day and gave them the go ahead. They had no record of her call, and so couldn't help me. The bad news is I got upset and was not as nice as I usually am to customer representatives. The good news is that I was still nicer than my mother usually is. The better news is that supposedly, he is going to call my mother and get the confirmation, and then call me back and follow through, since she and I already made our calls and shouldn't have to keep on calling back when they are the screw ups. Of course, last time a customer service representative told me they'd do something like this, it never happened, so big grain of salt. But soon, the phone account will be solely in my name. Yay! And, if he doesn't do it like I asked, I may ask for a manager and try to squeeze something out of them discount-wise to make up for it.
-I'm still not exercising, except some resistance band exercise at work when I'm fidgety (bicep curls and leg extensions, mostly), and walking a lot on weekends. But I could change that at any time.
-I have a French lesson tonight withvelvetpage. Yay! I'm touchy today, and I have some emotional issues surrounding French (read: I have ego), so I'm really hoping I don't bite her head off at any point and that things go smoothly. Boo!
Bad news:
-I wrote some crappy poetry last night. Fear the crappy poetry, for it WILL eat your brain! rararararararrr! No, I will not be sharing it with you. It's crappy, remember?
-I'm Miss Posty today! Fear my posts. FEAR!
Other news:
-The leather worker who fixed my collar is working a booth at the Ren Faire. And he's really cute. Strike that. Really hot! And in discussions it is now clear to him that I'm (1) not getting any play and (2) kinky and poly. When we were discussing delivery of my collar at the faire, he sort of followed me out of his booth a ways to continue talking, and I had to politely disengage to end the conversation. At the time I was just thinking about catching up with my friends, but now I'm wondering, in traditional obsessive angsty girl fashion, if he was trying to prolong the conversation and if that was a sign of interest. Probably not. But, yum! Cute tallthin long-haired boys in ren garb who know their leather! I'll take two!

Date: 2005-08-09 07:25 pm (UTC)I am quite prepared to put you in your place if you attempt to bite off any heads. I have two weapons at my disposal: the mother of all teacher looks - and an adorable toddler. :)
Now, now. Greedy, aren't we? The teacher in me is about to ask if you had enough to share with the class. Then I remembered my husband reads this thread, so I'll just admire from a distance. :)
