windreader headache-y

Listens: As I Rise -- The Decemberists

I have glasses again. My field of vision is slightly more restricted than with my last pair and it's confuzzling. Also, I got an occular headache from wearing them, which is upsetting because that's what they're suppoed to prevent. Once I get used to wearing glasses again this should all go away. And I can SEE! In Costco I found Alex without having to do any kind of double-checking. I can recognize you at a distance, so look out!

What else?
I am going to do that goddamn EMT thing, but not until December. Executive decisions dictate that playing patient and making fun of inteptitude (even if I'm only taunting them in my head) is also important. That and my adopted family. I miss them. I can't wait until I get my car back to myself. It will be more mine than ever before. I can drive off into nowhere without first checking the ferry schedule. Haha suckers!

What else?
My knees are funking out on me, making walking the dog a bit painful. Also my annoying ganglian cyst has gotten a bit bigger again. It's getting in the way more often. None-the-less, I shall continue to ignore it because surgeory is not something I'm interested in. Alex is having an operation to remove a tumor on her right ovary on the... 21st? She's going to be in soooo much pain. Also, they are quitting smoking (fucking finally, and you think I would compliment them or something, but I'm not sure if complimenting them for stopping a bad habit is appropriate; they shouldn't have started in the first place). Alex is pissy because of nicotine headaches, strange meunstral cycle hiccoughs, and her general ongoing, dissatisfaction with life.

What else?
Um, no one will chat with me online. It's sad.

What else?
I'm tired and I can't figure out what the hell I'm going to do with my life. Okay, maybe life is too broad: I can't figure out what the hell I'm going to do with the next year of my life. This is intermittantly upsetting.

Also
I found out that there is no comfort here.
The world that my brother and Alex live in is all sharp edges and hard surfaces.
I'm irritated with how goddamn bad they are at budgeting.
It's scary when people argue here because Alex gets the voice that sounds like she'd happily roast your head for dinner. It's also scary because no one listens and everyone interrupts.
I paid rent today.
So I'm down like $700 dollars today, but it's inevitable.
I need a job.
