Irons in the fire...

I've hit one of those points where I'm trying to be better about blogging. I don't think enough happens interesting enough to me to make it worth while to blog every day. Still, I want to be better about blogging than I've been.

My vo classes...I'm set to take another one very soon. This one will take place on a weeknight, so that'll provide an interesting challenge...

I'm thinking of selling some stuff on eBay, what and when I'll let everyone know closer to the time I'm actually going to put it up for bid.

I'm working on a tiger painting, but I need more reference photos in order to get a little further along. (I've got so much half finished artwork scattered about it isn't even funny. Smh)

I've been wearing my brace/support more often and now the rheumatologist has me on prednisone, since the nambumetone wasn't working... We'll see...If the backpack, back exercises and the boswellia don't work, I'm out of ideas.

I've gotten some more GRE prep materials and some of those Danica McKellar books about math. I know they're for young girls lol, but they're actually pretty good. I wish someone had wrote something like this when we were coming up, it would've been a godsend.

Oops

I missed seeing The Dark Knight Rises this past weekend. (My back was bothering me a little too badly to sit through a 3 hour film. It's almost funny all things considered.). I'm definitely still going to see it. It's only a question of when.

For what it's worth...

I've never been all that chatty, but lately I find myself withdrawing even more. A lot of it has to do with work...I don't really want to elaborate, at least not at this time.

Then a lot of stuff I don't want to talk about because I don't want to seem like a Debbie Downer or someone who wants to be babied. Treated fairly, yes. Although, I'm finding out rather painfully, even that can be subjective.
Stuff could be going worse...but it could be going better too. I guess I'm just trying to figure how much is my doing and how to fix it.

Waiting to see if there will be fallout from my two worlds colliding on fb. I knew it was inevitable, but I was hoping to be a bit more in control of how stuff went down.

I'm still plugging away at vo training. I had to take a break because of health issues I'm still having. They're minor nbd. I'm trying to do a little more Chinese Brush Painting too.

If I can get myself together, I'd love to go see Dark Knight Rises this weekend.

Tupac hologram and Coachella

I'm not real sure what to think about this. I first saw this on a TV with the sound turned down, while I was waiting on some medication at the pharmacy...There have to be less ghoulish, exploitative ways of keeping Tupac's memory alive. Maybe all this stuff is in the eye of the beholder. I've got to wonder what he'd think if he saw it. I was listening to my Jay-Z Pandora station while reading another article about the Tupac hologram and guess what came on? Ambitions az ridah. Sure it could've been coincidence, but I can't say at the same time it freaked me out it didn't have me thinking.

Burning up...

I woke up from a nap yesterday with a low grade fever yesterday afternoon.  My temp is lower this morning 99.1, but high for me...Normally I wake up at 97. something...and there's a little fluctuation, but I'm never normally 99.anything.  I've read up on the subject and from what I saw...it's not really a cause for panic unless my temp reaches 101 or over.  I don't know whether it's the seasons, the medication switches or what.  I know being ill when it's warm out makes me twice as miserable.  It was 80 degrees out yesterday.

Updates...

The biopsy...The doctor has seen the condition before, but he can't pin down what's causing it.  For some reason though, he seems sure that ibuprofen is responsible...So I can't take it anymore.  Now I've got to take Excedrin or Tylenol or some form of acetaminophen [sp?].  The Excedrin makes me feel slightly nauseous, even when I take it with food.  My weight is also starting to creep back up, which I'm not going to allow.  I keep fluctuating between 130 and 140.  :(  I'm also having trouble with my ankle[s], my primary care physician keeps talking about a steroid shot... I'm also afraid of side effects [bloating, etc.].  The primary care physician claims it wouldn't be a large dosage, but I just still don't have a good feeling about this stuff at all.  I definitely want to do something about the pain though [which if we're going on a scale of 1 to 10, is about a 7. 10 being Why????!!!! as far as how intense the pain is.], because  it's affecting my mobility and my temperament and stuff is difficult enough without that.

My new gynecologist recommended pelvic floor therapy...I'm embarrassed and depressed about that.  I didn't even know they had therapists for that...I guess they have a therapist for everything.

Can't go to SPN Vancon this year...Maybe if they have one next year...I'm also toying with the idea of going to the   SPN Vegas con[I've never been before.].  I know it'll have to be one or the other, because I can't afford both.    Too soon to know what I can do right now though. Way to many wild cards...  

I'm still very much into doing the voice over thing.   I installed Audacity and will try and experiment with some stuff this weekend.

Also bought some new clothing for Spring...I think it needed to be done.  I've bought things with a lot of blue and turquoise in them.

Huh? What?

A male acquaintance kind of knocked me for a loop this morning.  I'm the same chick with the glasses on and my hair up that I am with the contacts in and my hair down.  Then again it may have been the hint of cleavage this morning...I don't get it...Well..., I do and I don't...smh  I'm not getting into why, but I'm the last chick he should want...It's not that I'm slutty or anything...I just enjoy being a free spirit and I've been one for a little to long to let someone come in and try to change that...He used the words "nice and sweet" to describe me and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  But I bet if you asked two people I knew to describe me...one from work and one from my down time to describe me...depending on who you asked, you'd get two very different answers...This four days after my biopsy...I fucking can't.
