And, the rest of what’s going on in my life…
Going in order, point by point, from my last update, which was actually in October. Man, I slacked for a while there.
Zoloft: Working like a fuckin’ charm.
Xanax: Barely touch the stuff, but when I do, it works.
Therapist: pretty good. Not perfect (I think she errs on the side of “glass half full”), but who is?
Sleep: That was a few posts ago, Holmes. I actually see a pattern emerging, after 5 months of data, though the data needs to be analyzed some more to see if it’s a natural pattern, or a few coincidences brought about by things that went batshit in the night. I’m leaning toward the latter, but I’ll need at least 3 months of additional data to be sure.
“The Price Is Right”: I’m experiencing some burnout on this, though it’s for reasons I can’t discuss for another month or two. I’ll let you know what’s up. In the meantime, if you’d like a free, autographed picture of host Drew Carey, email your mailing address to pir@tvc.cbs.com and ask for one. Let me know how that goes.
Migraines: had one about 2 weeks ago. It sucked a bag of dicks. It was a bad one, because trying to catch it early (as soon as my vision blurred a little) with Percocet did little to relieve discomfort. Spent a few hours dry heaving. It’ll be a while before I eat peanut butter again.
General life-type things:
My CDs are still alphabetized.
I’m working on a major backup of my computers now, which should take a month or so.
Making steady progress on trashing/organizing/selling/maintaining my other belongings. (That Swordquest: Waterworld sold.)
The Second Life thing has changed quite a bit since I last wrote. I sold my property, moved into a rental space on a private island, and cut my costs by a considerable degree, so I can relax a bit more there. Not getting a lot done, but there’s not as much pressure to, either.
The disability case is probably going to need to get fast-tracked (I think I’m going to need to start making phone calls on Monday), despite some of the progress I am making, because of other things happening in my life that I’d prefer not to discuss on this site. If you want to know, ask me. There are actually a few things going on in my life that fall into the “prefer not to discuss on the web” category these days. Despite the openness that I do display here, not everything makes it to the front page, so to speak. When something doesn’t get written about here, it’s usually because it’s not just my story. I tend not to talk about the things affecting my loved ones that are also affecting me, unless it’s absolutely necessary to do so. Just a matter of protecting their privacy, to the best of my ability. Again, if your curiosity is absolutely killing you (it’ll do that, you know), find me online (or in person, heaven forbid), and ask me what’s up. It may take me a bit to respond, as I’m slowly trying to not be online as much as I once was, but I will get back to you.
And, to finish up our report, I’ll quote the last one:
“Money: stilll completely, utterly and totally fucked. No change on this. Hey, at least I’m making some progress on the other stuff, right? :D Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.”
