4 day old migraine, won't go away. Can't sleep well because of it and i cannot function in class and its not responding to any painkiller in the house.
Too busy (by my standards) this week. Lots of little shitting errands to do, tards to meet to sell stuff on CL, psychiatrist appointments to attend, and not enough time to sit around and be a lazy ass posting on msg boards, playing games, and napping on the couch @ 7pm. I'm skipping Terminator tonight to post on msg boards because I'm in forum withdrawal.
Well, I would suggest a bowl of weed and a glass of wine, but I'm not sure where your morals sit on this subject.Quote:

Seriously MarsKitten, you should contact a doctor if it lasts over 3 days, migraines aren't supposed to exceed that. If you're having ones that bad, over the counter stuff isn't going to do a damn thing. Migraines are absolutely awful and you should try to find something else. Have you ever tried triptans before?

The probabilities are a vanilla migrane, the odds on favorite but there could be other causes.Quote:

Glad you're getting it checked out. My migraines are 'atypical' so I had to go to a bunch of neurologists to make sure it wasn't anything else (brain tumors in family, etc). Triptans are really hit or miss for me but when they do help, instant migraine killer. Better than nothing!
I got pulled over by a cop on my fucking bike today for passing him. His reason was that I didn't signal. My response: "That's because there isn't really a way for me to signal that I'm not turning."
On top of this, I'm still bruised to shit from surfing this weekend.
I'm really sick and sort of depressed. Well, clinically. Shit.
That sucks man, focus on shit that you are doing right in life.
oh shits. Get medicated, get therapy or deal with whatever is bugging you, depression is nothing but a big pause on life :cry:Quote:

I told myself that mine would make me get back in shape since I was planning to ride my bike, or walk everywhere. blah blah blah.
That didn't happen.
Could be relapsing or the meds are becoming ineffective, remeet with teh docs and get a science based opinion. Take a personal day or two before the weekend, get that shit done, make a plan.Quote:

For some reason I almost lost my entire music collection got corrupted when backing it up. I was listening to some music in iTunes just after fixing a ton of the tags and decided to back up my work. About a minute into the backup, iTunes stopped playing music and any song I'd try to play wouldn't play. I waited for the backup to finish, then tried playing more songs, and nothing. Checked the actual files, and when I would try to play in QT, it would say the file isn't a movie. Same with a majority of the files in the backup. Luckily, I had put all my music on my iPod right before the backup, so I am currently moving the files from my iPod back to the computer, but I almost lost 50gb and 7 years of music.
Yeah Brisco if its purely chemical then a change of scenery will do nothing. Hell, if thats the case you'd still feel like shit after winning the lottery. See a doctor before doing anything else about it.
Sorry guys, Live Journal. I don't really like to talk about myself like this. This isn't really a source of pride.
Well, the change of scenery is something I've pined for for five years. I've been generally fine since I saw the doctor. Normal highs and lows. However, I'm sort of unhappy in my present career. Everyone at work is in the dumps -- lack of money, incompetent management. I'm not cut out for this field. I don't enjoy it and find it waste of my time. I've known this since the second day of J-School. I only kept with it because I didn't want to disappoint my parents -- well, mom. I doubt my dad knows what I do for a living. Oh, dad.
Previously I was a reporter for another publication. My boss was an unsympathetic tyrant, which lead to my original visit to the doctor. I hesitated when the opportunity for my current position became available. A close friend advised me to give it a try before I completely gave up on the career.
Overall I'm feeling good. I like myself and am generally fine with how I act. It's just lately I've done some thinking. I seriously want to get away from this field. I have an idea what I want to (change of scenery) and I'm really excited about it. It's the first time I've been enthused about work in, like 8 years. Most importantly, I feel that I'm making a decision that's mine for once.
I honestly think the flu is wreaking havoc on my brain. I am not thinking clearly. This down cycle is longer than the new normal, so I'm not used to it.
You're just depressed about JP sticking around. Don't worry that pain will soon be gone. It has to. Oh god give me some of your pills man.
I was offered 2 different sous chef jobs but they're in Georgia.
Fuck that.

Literally you take your eye off of him for a minute and he hurts himself in a new way. I really don't know what happened because he was just standing like 10 feet from me on our deck and then walked over to the door to be let in and his eye was just suddenly fucked. I thought maybe he got hit by a golf ball because sometimes they get hit into our yard but I didn't hear or see one come in so I don't know what the fuck. He probably just stuck his head in somewhere and poked his eye really bad, but no chances.
Does it look like his lower eyelid is drooping open so you can see the pink flesh underneath? That happened to my Golden, it's some kind of disease or something. It's nasty looking. Fine one second, turn around and GAH! WTF!
It doesn't look quite like that. The outer lid is okay, but the inner lid or whatever around the sides looks like it has come up more than halfway over his eye so you can't really see the brown/black of the iris/pupil, but the top corner is uncovered by that swollen membrane and his iris/pupil actually looks bigger. His eye isn't really tracking properly when he does open it, it looks like, and he's been keeping it closed most of the time.
I tried to pry it open to get a close look at it since when I lean in he closes it, but when I opened his lid like I usually do to put his drops in (for the entropion, which hasn't bothered him in months and a week ago the doctor said was done and cured, he grew into his eyes after 2 sets of staples) the eye rolled all the way up and I couldn't see anything.
Like I said he probably just got something in his eye or poked it so it's swelling, but I don't want anything to fuck up his vision so I'm gonna take him back to the vet.
While I'm there they can clean and redress his do-claw bandage. We've been doing that ourselves since the first visit, because when we sleep he invariably chews the bandage off. He's so full of energy that he has to run around at least a couple hours a day and though we've been trying to keep him calm, he's reopened his cut a little bit twice. It's just in a weird spot, it's going to take forever to heal especially since it apparently doesn't bother him.
He looks like a goddamn pirate right now. Or a war vet.
Poor Jackson. :(
It could also be pink eye.
It was what I thought, he got poked in the eye and scratched it up a bit. Doc stained his eye and showed me the hole/scratch. He said eye injuries typically heal very quickly but gave me some antibi drops to help speed it along.
Had to work late tonight, so when I was on the subway, 1 punkass black teenage girl grabbed my glasses and ran out of the subway car just as the door was closing. I bolted out and chased that bitch down, her 2 male friends dragged me down and wanted to beat me. I fended them off but without my glasses, I couldn't see shit. They ran off but luckily that bitch dropped my glasses as I was chasing her. The cop came down a few minutes later but of course he didn't do shit.

Jeez, you hurt man?

It happened so fast and I couldn't see anything but I was pissed and I was ready to kick/bite/punch/grab/maim anything I could get my hands on. Of course, I probably would have been beaten bloody and get on the news.Quote:

Same. I might as well stay up, because if I fall asleep now, I will be capable of sleeping through a firebombing. Class doesn't start for about five hours, so I should work on getting a good breakfast.
Stupid fucking piece of shit Fed Ex didn't deliver my laptop cause of no signature. God I hate Fed Ex.
What if they left it and someone took it? Then you'd be all "Stupid fucking piece of shit Fed Ex just left the package on my porch without even getting a signature. God I hate Fed Ex.
It's weird living in a neighborhood where shit like that rarely happens, perhaps I'm taking advantage of it.
Enjoy it while you can. Fed Ex won't even drive their truck into my neighborhood. I have to pick up packages at their receiving facility.
I'm tempted to do that but it's sooo far out of the way. I'm just gonna see if anyone will be home tomorrow to pick it up. I really don't want to take any time off work.
hoooow far out of the way?
30 minutes each way.
Yeah, the FedEx retrieval place here is fucking ridiculous, I hate how far out it is. Their hours are fucked up too for being out there, I used to have to pay my friends to go pick up shit for me because I'd be working during their open/dropoff hours. I still refuse to use them whenever possible after having five years where I never got a single package from them at my house. USPS is so much fucking better, at least they have locations all over the place in case you're not going to be home during normal business hours.
Here I found you a shortcut.Quote:

Oh yeah -- I had no idea what the case was about before I got there. Lovely day.
Did you pull the Chewbecca defense?
I'm doing all the setups for the first, second, third and fourth floor of Johns Hopkins today and I still can't find anything to do.
I take back what I said about Fed Ex. Apparently now they leave a thing to put on your door, if you sign the bottom of it you can place it on your door and it counts as your signature in case you can't be there.
They've always done that.Quote:

Yeah. If it makes you feel any better, there is very little evidence that the causes for any type of brain cancer are hereditary. And cancers that metastasize to the brain are completely different to ones that originate in the brain, as you probably know.
Hope it's something that can be fixed easily; but most likely, they'll find nothing and you will not get any treatment.
