Spotify

I downloaded Spotify last night...I'm having a lot of fun with it....I can create playlists that don't take up space on my hard drive. :)

I went for my lumbar MRI today. Keeping fingers and toes crossed that they find something they can fix.  I'd be willing to undergo spinal surgery to alleviate constant pain.

Of course, any surgery will be put off until after the move.

Tired and Achy

Spent 4 hours on the phone last night...long time since I've had such a long conversation.  It was nice to make a new friend.

Still trying to get the momentum going for packing and laundry.  Between the heat and the migraine, just don't want to do anything but sleep.

Kat arrives on the 22nd....I hope I mostly have things in order by then....

Awake, sort of

Didn't sleep well last night...was up and down. Doesn't help that Time Warner called me after midnight their time!

My internet is scheduled to be turned on September 6th, so I'll be incommunicado for 3 days....I don't like that, but I'm moving on a holiday weekend so what can I do.  Dish Network is coming out on the fifth, and hopefully my balcony will work for the dish, if not, we'll punt.

I'm on day 8 of a migraine.  I really should go into the ER, but can't seem to bring myself to go out into the heat to do it.   Staying in the cool, dark apartment seems to control it enough that it's  manageable.

My roommate Kat is due in on August 22nd to help me finish packing and cleaning up for my move.  Friends are great to have.  And Paul is driving up from Cincinnati with his SIL, who doesn't even know me, to move me.

I'm very lucky, and grateful.  I try not to take anything for granted.

I may take a nap this afternoon...we'll see how I feel, and I'm grateful to have the option to do that when I need to.

I guess the keynote for today is "the attitude is gratitude"

Later....
Took a nap, slept too late, missed class. Still, getting things done.  I'm so lucky to have wonderful friends who care about me.

My new roommate is coming in August 22nd on the greyhound.  Just gotta find someone to pick her up at the station.  Any volunteers?

Sigh

I almost had my post finished and Firefox ate it :(

I was wishing it were a Cat in the Hat day (the sun did not shine, it was too wet to play, so we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day)....The wet would break the heat, and the cold would be welcome.

I wouldn't have gone out if I hadn't had to go grocery shopping.  I'll be grateful to be in Cincinnati where I can take a cab home from the store!

Retread, Restart but no Retreat

The adventure begins again.  Love to hear from those who know me. Love to make new friends. Cincy here I come
