Hmm...

Well, it's 3:15, and I'm at the ALF, which is where Jim told me to go after lunch...and he's not here, and hasn't been. I did everything I could reasonably do - which took my about two hours - and now I'm sort of sitting here, wondering if I should go over to the Lilly, wondering if I just got mixed up, etc. See, the problem is, even if my phone worked in the ALF, which it doesn't, he doesn't have my number any way. And we're not supposed to answer the phones. I suppose he could send me an e-mail, but that would require the assumption on his part that I check my e-mail from this computer which, well, I do, but I'm not sure I'm techinically supposed to. It seems like a waste of time to just sit here for the next two hours hoping he shows up (he's always late...) but if we cross en route, it'll be a huge pain, because it's a twenty minute walk (maybe more) between the two so I'll lose most of the rest of the day any way if I set off on foot. In short, I have no idea what to do.

So I'm gonna update my LJ. :)


I've been feeling better and worse sporadically all week. It's annoying. I felt better on Tuesday, a little worse on Wednesday, better yesterday, and lousy this morning. Yesterday I didn't even take any medicine, which was rather nice, but today I felt terrible again, so out came the ibuprofen...that said, I just realized it's been more than 6 hours and I still basically feel okay, so here's hoping. ;) I just hope I get better soon, it's annoying to make myself do all this work and stuff when I'm feeling lousy.



I've not even found the time to finish cutting out my costume. :( I'm despairing of getting it done in time. I have grand plans to modify the pattern - in part to make it cooler, but mostly because I'm a bit heavier than the pattern wants me to be. I wish I could make myself stick closely to my diet again, but for some reason I've been finding it really tough to start again. I'm trying not to beat myself up over it, but it's getting annoying, I was so happy when I was thinner, and it feels like such a waste to have regained so much of the weight I lost (about half). Grrr.



Over all, it's been a busy week. Again. Worked full days at the internship every day except for Monday. On Monday, I sat at home reading and feeling vaguely sorry for myself because moving hurt so much. Tueday I hung out with sapphohestia one of her friends, and kniedwz. Mostly picked up the last of what I needed to make my costume for the game (and spent far to much money, grumble grumble, despite everything being on sale). Got dinner, hung out, and generally had fun. Wednesday, I went out and did me some Contra, but I had to stop relatively early because I started to feel to sick to keep going, so I sat around and waited til the end. I felt dumb, people kept asking me to dance, and I didn't want anyone to take my refusal personally, so I still almost said yes, but I had to acknowledge that I really didn't feel well enough. Ended up talking to one of the older attendees about his car collection, which was more interesting than it sounds. ;) Yesterday, of course, was singing. I got dinner before hand with schenker28...when the time came for actual singing, though, no one seemed to really feel like doing so, so we ended up singing musicals far past the point that my voice was ceasing to work...stupid sore throat. :) Tonight, of course, is the interlude. I was able to find a few minutes to send in my BGA, thankfully - I wouldn't have had the time if not for my current conundrum, so I guess that's something positive out of it. I still feel dumb just sitting here, though.

Last weekend was fairly nice. I spent Friday getting dinner with folk, making a Buffy character, and doing some scenes with people, which was much fun even if I was rather tired. I walked 10 miles that day. Saturday, I spent the day...er...doing...something...(it's pissing me off that I can't seem to recall what...OH!) ...right! I spent the day seeing a matinee of Pirates with some folk (so I've seen it twice, shoot me. ;) ) and then getting some food, and then hanging out with fallenrose in the evening, who very much wants a home for her adorable kitten Mo - sadly, I cannot take him. Sunday was Aberrant, of course. I wish I could find the time to devote to it over all, but I just can't seem to. It's annoying - so much to do, and I just don't have the time.


I'm out of things to write about, grumble grumble.

Tally: 106, including what I've done so far today.

I'm a bit heavier than the pattern wants me to be
I so totally understand. You are beautiful, BTW. And always look radiant and joyous.

*blush* thanks...I'm trying not to let it get me down...

Hey, if you're willing maybe somehow we could help encourage each other with our respective diets. It seems like the sort of thing that is easier to do with support. I've been reading tons of books on the topic recently (instead of what I *should* be reading) and now I just need to be better at implementing all the good advice.

I hope your voice is ok today after the singing!! I felt like an irresponsible bartender who should've cut you off from the source when your voice was starting to fail.

Eh, don't worry about it. :) I'll get better... thanks again for taking care of Jonie!! :)

I'd make a bigger pattern size, definitely, but for the problem that the one I'm making is the largest in the pattern envelope, and I don't want to have to buy the pattern again to get the next bigger size. :) I think the stress is definitely related to the eating problems - the difficulty I've been running into is I keep not wanting to spend any time by myself, which means hanging out with people, and generally speaking hanging out with people means eating out, which is where my problems lie. :) I'm trying to decide if I think I should just accept that it's going to be a problem until I move again (there are some difficulties in eating well right now, like the fact that going to the supermarket is a pain in the butt because I have to carry all my groceries like 2/3 of a mile, and the fact that the smoke alarm goes off if I use the oven part of my stove...) and just do my best not to do incredibly stupid things. :) Sigh. :) It's just irritating, with all the exercise I'm getting - if I could just watch what I eat I'm sure I'd lose weight. Grr.
