Reality check
Dec. 15th, 2005 01:35 pmYay, 6 icons for free LJ accounts! Now to pick three more for each of my pups... (Who are still trying for paid accounts, but I'm holding out so far)...
And now for some random real life updates-
The Car: At the electronics shop being looked over for the insurance people. Who Mom still wants to strangle for not getting the car out of the tow yard as soon as they were supposed to, leading to the tow yard filing with DMV for a lein sale on the car. Note to self: even though the car's been bailed out, remind Mom to send in the paperwork contesting the lein.
Finals: Three chapters left to review. I probably should've finished going over the personality chapter last night, but it had more Freud in it, and my brain was fried after Alias. (Priorities, ya know.) Still, I think I'm doing okay. The prof emailed us all our grades to date the other day, and I have a midrange B. It'd be a higher B if I hadn't spaced out on two assignments that were due while I had the Death Flu verson 1.0 and 2.0 earlier, but oh well. I'll be fine. If anything, I'm overstudying, since all I have to know is the answer to every multiple-choice question on the old exams, which he was kind enough to provide for download. But I'd rather overstudy than not study enough. Still, I'll be glad when this is over. This time tomorrow I'll be free.
Family & Holiday Crap: Sort of up in the air right now. My great-aunt and uncle were coming in from Mass., but my aunt has power of attorney for a friend with terminal cancer, so they're staying there. Which I can totally understand, but I'll miss them. I don't get to see them very often because they live so far away, and my great-uncle is grandma's older brother. Which means he's really good at dealing with her. So's my aunt... Anyway, now that they're not coming, the local aunt and uncle are thinking of going to see her folks, which would leave it with Mom and I, Grandma and Grandpa, and the Bay area aunt and uncle. Am trying not to think about this too much till I get through the school crap, as I can only take one stressful thing at a time right now.
Health: Speaking of stress, I'm doing all of the stupid stress-related things I tend to do. My sinuses are going nuts despite daily doses of Advil Cold & Sinus, which is probably not a good sign. I hate how wired the Sudafed in that stuff makes me, but it's the only thing that works on these headaches. (Speaking of, I need to go chase the last C&S with some straight Advil...) Kidneys are poking me a bit, too. I know why- they don't like all the caffine I'm drinking to stay awake through the Psych reading. Time to water it down with, well, some water, I suppose. Oh, and I've been neglecting my iron pills again, which means I'm anemic, which means I'm already cold, and I don't want cold drinks right now. Bah.
House: We still need window coverings and a ton of other stuff, but since we might need to buy a car... Yeah. But we started decorating for Christmas. should put the ornaments on the tree at some point, but at least we finally got the lights done. And all of my Christmas Snoopy stuff is out, including my new snowglobe, which I should take pictures of because it's just too cute.
Writing & stuff: I have ideas and no time to write them down. This is annoying me. A lot. I'm going to end up with pages of scrawled notes in my writing journal which won't make any sense later, but at least I'm trying to get the broad pictures down when they hit me. I made sure I was caught up enough on TM last week that I wouldn't have to worry about it this week, though there are a few things I may go back and write for people because they were cool topics. Also have a TON of stuff to write for That Other Thing. I have a huge list of stuff I want/need to write, that I figure I'll start digging into after the final.
To my long-suffering flist: Love you guys. Sorry I haven't been around much this week, but I'm not great company anyway with my brain fried on Freud and general psych. Give me about twenty-four hours, I'll be human again.
And now for some Advil, and then back to work.
