In case you were wondering
Thursday, December 11th, 2008 09:53 pmThe reason you haven't seen many posts from me recently is that my life has been--to be blunt--boring. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. A rest from crises and dramas and red tape and all the rest is quite welcome, so aside from the usual health problems, I have no major complaints.
Mentally, I've been alternating between thinking thoughts I'm not in the mood to share and filling my mind with fluff that barely qualifies as thought. Also trying to come up with ways to get some things done by the end of the year (cleaning my room a bit might be nice), but those things require energy and coordination and stuff like that there. Haven't been able to concentrate for long periods of time, though I've tried to do the best I can with what brainpower I have been able to generate. Library books currently checked out: Seven.
Materially, I recently invested in a new pair of headphones, more expensive than any 'phones I've bought before and yet considerably cheaper than those Bose all the stores around here are trying to convince everyone they absolutely need to have. Although it may seem foolish of me to have paid full retail price for the model I got when there are places online selling them deeply discounted, I was kinda desperate that day: the previous pair of headphones rattled during the bass notes of Jeff Black songs and emitted white noise during the high notes of Bel Canto songs, a situation which is obviously unacceptable to anyone with a soul. I also ordered a Jeff Black CD I didn't have already and haven't listened to nearly enough yet. Mmm... music.
Here at home, the news is that we have a new housemate. New guy's only been here a few days, but so far, so good. Complete lack of new housemate drama.
Physically, I'm still dealing with the usual medical issues--no miracle cures for anything yet, alas. Yesterday was the first major migraine in over a week, though, so that's a plus. I also had one day this week and one day last week when I managed to walk four miles. Not enough energy for long walks today, but on a cold and rainy day like this a short walk to the drug store to get some chocolate is all that's really needed.
