I just shaved my entire body for the first time in about a year, and goddamn it feels good. I stopped doing it (after doing it almost religiously since 1997) last spring due to complete apathy. Now I can wear thongs again without feeling sleazy! Mmyep.

I heard from Robyn (my recruiter) yesterday. She told me that I should hear back Monday on whether...

I (joy of joys) found an old scrip for ninety 1mg Xanax (alprazolam) pills whilst rifling through my old prescription records, which somehow eluded my notice when it was first handed to me by my shrink. Having been taped to my refrigerator since the dawning of 2007, it was dated 03 January 2007, but according to Walgreens, that's perfectly OK, despite its age, so at...

My contact with Northrop Grumman ended Friday.

As such, I'm now unemployed. Again.

I'm currently in the midst of drowning my sorrows with a sixer of Newcastle and a pack of American Spirit "perique blend" cigarettes. And 12mg of Lunesta.

No idea what to do now other than whore myself out on job-finding websites.

Lexapro keeps me feeling sane, but underneath that is a series...

Oh, I survived the summer down there. Bloody barely though. I had 2 horrendous bosses I was working with/for, so it really made for a long season. Throw on far too many people and 24 hours of light, I surprised I was not postal by the time I left.

You take care love. I browsed through you journal. Sounds like things have been turbulent. I'm sure that is putting it rather politely, but just the same, take care.

Whew, that was a quick day at work. Unlike most days, it just kind of flew by. I do not object to it doing that.

I've been dreaming of Antarctica again. I want to go! I wonder if Northrop Grumman has any operations there. I know Raytheon does, and I've seen some of their people around the shipyard. I wouldn't mind a holiday in the...

It's hot in here. Someone apparently opened up the thermostat, affixed a piece of double-sided tape right below where the temperature adjustment knob hits 70F, and then hooked it back up to the wall. Thus, it can't go below 70F in here, and with all the computers running in this room, 70F feels sweltering.

It's making my fibro or whatever it is (second opinion coming...

I can't recall the last time I spent so much time sleeping. I skipped out of work after an hour or two because I was feeling about as bad as one can feel and still be able to drive. When I got home, I went immediately to sleep. Then I woke up for a few hours, played some World of Warcraft, then went back...

I think I was definitely sleepwalking last night or yesterday.

What leads me to this conclusion is that my shoulder is partially dislocated, my face is bruised in two places, my eye is irritated, my lip is swollen, and worst of all, three of my upper front teeth are extremely chipped, almost down to the gum, in a kind of circular pattern.

I think at...

It's not a kidney stone.

I just returned from EJGH, where I spent approximately five hours, mostly waiting. I had a CAT scan and some doctorial prodding, along with 30CC of tramadol, which didn't help even a little. It turns out that it's a lumbar strain, probably received when I was changing the tyre on my car 24 days ago, which only just got bad...

And they can't really do anything about that, can they, except drug you up? And it lasts f'ing forever. Christ that sucks.

(Sorry, I should probably be more like: 'oh you'll feel grand in NO time!')

Transportation TIP: make friends with Taxi drivers. Of course, the only one I know is moving across the country this week, so I need to follow my own advice...
