Long have I said "everything goes in the microwave for two minutes." (Some things just come out earlier or just go back in. Really. That's how it works. Cause so many things we got all went in for two minutes)
I have been vindicated ;P
Family fued, which we only watch when really bored, had a number one answer of "hot long does it take to cook a hotdog in a microwave" as "two minutes."
See? I am right ^_^V

On your special day~

We can't be assed to go through Valenth right now and I want mine leveled.

Pet spam. Diz was right when she said that was all that gets put in this journal anymore.

I'm pretty sure this journal is just used for spams now

Unless Axel or Fuf or someone wants to say something...I don't tend to.
But Maddin has these dragon things, and I wanted one too and he can't get more than one on his account so~

I think we just spam it wif Maddin'd other adoptables on valenth later.

Hope to sleep soon. We have to stay up some for meds.

--Diz

This would be Maddin's fault.

2008-12-16T21:08:24Z

As he's always playing with adoptables.
I'm going to name them after system members. Lets see how long it takes before I find a way to abuse them!

Ignore the spam and move along.

Is not my fault.

We drove around today. In the snow.
I didn't have any big problems with it ^^ sorta nervous here and there, especially if we had trouble breaking or turning, but no real panics. Not even the time we hit a curb >> (that turn has always been an issue, and no matter how hard it tries to tell us otherwise, our car does not have anti-lock brakes.)
Makes me feel good that it seems like the driving-in-snow phobia is at least mostly licked

I hardly ever use this journal anymore. I don't want to get rid of it, but I suppose I'll mention-- Matt/Maddin uses his (consumeraddict) much more often than I do. He'll babble about things going on in our life, so if anyone on this list is interested and doesn't already have Matt friended feel free to go over there.
I may still use this from time to time, but I've no need to lately.

In other news, we may have a job. More on that (on Matt's journal, most likely) after we've heard more. Seems we don't want to jinx it.

We are now officially employed by Adecco. But since that's a temp agency that doesn't really change things much as of yet...which means unless they contact me I'll still keep up the job search. Still, its better than nothing. Now I have other people looking for me (sorta) as well. Never had luck with temp agencies in the past, but maybe this will change.
I have Chinese food. We are no longer sick, and the insomnia seems to be clearing up into a somewhat normal sleep schedule. Less sleep than we'd gotten before, but apparently enough to function. Odd to be awake in the mornings, however.

My body may well be rebelling against my attempts to get out more. Sinuses are trying to kill me, and now I have a fever (a larger one than the low fever we've been running on and off for two months). Had to cancel a meeting with the father and the HR woman from his work who was going to check into jobs in other places for us. Very annoying.
Also, we've done some research on the internet and it seems that the pills we were put on for the low blood pressure/dizzy spells may be causing our insomnia...have an appointment with that doctor on tuesday, so we'll ask him about it. If it comes down to the choice of dizzy spells or no sleep, we've decided we're going to go with the insomnia. It'd be nice to not have to have either, though.

...my juice tastes like bacon. WTF?

Yesterday...uh...today. Friday. We went to sleep at 3am or so.
Woke up at 9:30pm.
I knew we had been having issues with insomnia and had a cold, but I did not know we needed that much sleep. Hopefully it will turn out for the best, but it currently feels like my body is trying to melt off its bones.

I am actually not certain why I am doing this. But, what the hell, other people on my flist are.
Feel kinda weird with the one game while so many people have more ;P Maybe I'll look into RPing in more places again.

currently nothing else to say. Just woke up :/

Hopefully the last for a long time.

The pills appear to be working, as the dizzy spells have gone away almost completely (I do occasionally get them still, but usually not more than a few times a week, if that). I have even tried smoking and drinking to see if it brings them back (as both would make them worse), but it does not (aside from normal issues with drinking, of course). So it seems the mystery illness really is an issue with low blood pressure/not enough blood getting to the brain. Managed to get it fixed in a little under a year ^^; Hopefully it'll stay working, and I plan to ask the doctor when I go in for a follow up next month about the "don't take for four hours before bed" issue with the pills and how needed that is. Because that's fucking annoying.

Also...my car won't start. Fucking great. We paid $70-something to get tickets to a play tomorrow that we may not be able to make it to. But, at least, we've slept and the fever is gone for now.

...I feel a bit odd. Not sure how to explain it. I think its physical, but I'm uncertain. Also rather hot, even though we shouldn't be because we didn't do too much. Finally went shopping and got Matt "crisps" so he'll leave me the fuck alone about it, bread so ba is no longer tempted to ear jam straight out of the jar, and sugar to please just about everyone in here. Also gatorade, because we're supposed to stay well hydrated on these new pills. Speaking of which, I think the dizziness/lightheadedness has gone down some but not completely gone away. I didn't expect it to do much for a few weeks anyway, so we'll see.
I think perhaps I managed to wear myself out just by shopping. How utterly annoying. I used to have much more stamina than this.

Un, anyway, ba made an LJ at ba_cirape but it remains to be seen if he'll use it or continue using this. I don't care either way, but setting it up gave him something to do.

Um.

2008-03-27T18:51:12Z

We were supposed to go shopping today. I wanted to go out today, but now I do not but I do...not will probably win, because it is easier, unless we are unable to find anything to do online and the energy drink kicks in enough to make us want to move.
Perhaps I should go out, to see if the pills do any good as we wander around. I think they are doing good so far, but the timing on taking them is odd because we have to wait at least four hours after taking them before sleeping and often forget about them until we are tired, then we must stay up longer...and usually by the time those four hours are up we are awake again.
I think I feel paranoid? I am not sure. Maybe it is just twitchy from the energy drink. We will have to find out what to eat if we do not go out, as we are out of bread again but do not really want to order pizza. Oh well.
I think perhaps I will get my own journal...but I am not good with names. I like the name of the RP journal I share with Dizzy and sometimes Matt or Axel, but I cannot use that. Perhaps a form of it, I do not know. I would also have to decide on icons, and if we want to pay for it later or not.
I think it would be funny if, as soon as I got it, I would stop wanting to post things. Somehow I think that is likely.

Um. If I were to get a gtalk name, and add the people from Matt's (Cirape's) list, would that be okay with people? If you would rather I not, that is alright as well. I do not know if I would message anyone, anyway. Sometimes we get nervous about that, and I can be very shy when it comes to out-of-system relations...at least when they know its me and I cannot pretend to be Dizzy or Matt or someone.
I do not know what name I would use for that, anyway. So it may not matter. I may decide against it, but Matt will not let me change his over to mine, and that is okay.

We still need to draw. We get the urge, but have yet to drag out the sketchpad. I want to make pretty pictures with lots of colors, but the colors would have to be added in photoshop. That is okay...but I think maybe one day when we get money I would like to buy paints. I think that would end up with finger painting, though ^^;

Oh. Thank you, people, for explanations on the last entry. I will try to read them through more and reply later, but we have been very tired lately so I do not know how long it will take.

edit: my gtalk name is ba.cirape@gmail.com. I don't mind putting it here. Add me if you want.

Oookay, so...10 months after the dizzy spells started, we may now have an answer. Dangerously low blood pressure.
Saw the cardiologist today and were told, in no uncertain terms, that we "failed" our tilt test. Which, in retrospect, is something we should have guessed since we passed out during it and at one point the nurse doing it expressed concern over a drop in blood pressure.
We've been given pills that will hopefully help. I'll update again in a few days to say if it does anything. If it does, and I hope that they do, then things will finally take a step towards the better.
Getting the stress from being sick for almost a year off our backs should help with stress from other things. Not that we have many sources of stress aside from normal Depression now, anyway.

Otherwise...not much going on.

MSN hates us lately. I keep getting weird messages of random IPs trying to access us through it...so if you need us and usually contact us on MSN, please use AIM or something else. SNs are in profiles, or ask for them here. X-posted to both Axel and Matt's journals.

Okay, so its the 21st...

...I want to read my friends list but my brain has died.
Cool.

Its been pretty much determined that the pills we're using to help mood stabilization before the new mood stabilizers kick in are making the lightheadedness/dizzy spells worse. Which is exceptional suck, because those pills were originally prescribed to stop the goddamned dizzy spells.
But we bump the dosage up on the new mood stabilizers up again next wed and the doc says they should start to show an affect by then. My god, I hate this Depression shit as much as I can hate anything (which is really not that much, compared to a normal person).

At least I managed to get out and go shopping today. Not much, but I have bread so ba will stop bothering me about eating jam straight from the jar and coffee which seems to make everyone happy.

My brain broke, wot?

2008-03-19T23:56:17Z

...Seriously. The dizzy spells were getting better for awhile, but now they're starting to pick up again. I'm, like, completely lost right now. Just staring into space. We have a chat open but can't seem to follow it.
Oh well >> I'll live. Just want to complain.

Mm. Sorta bored, though. I should ping people. Or maybe other system members ping people...if we can think enough. Mostly its me and ba up right now, with Matt and Dizzy sorta on stand-by (they're there, but not quite fronting and a bit more spacey than me).

edit: we seem to be a bit more bitchy/snippy lately. I shall blame stress. Its actually quite annoying.

Dear Body,
