Mouth: still gross, but apparently healing - lets just say it looks nasty, but essential things like eating no longer hurt.
Money: Ugh. Thank goodness for sisters, that's all I got to say. (Thanks, Vicki.)
Mental state: It's kinda odd being in a good place headwise for once. I was listening to stuff on my drive down, and Alanis Morrissette's "Thank U" came on. I don't know, I've always kinda liked that song, but this morning I was belting it down 91 feeling like I only just now got what it was saying. I wouldn't say I'm all better, but I can see the progress I've made in the last three months.
Also... as I was driving down the Pike last night, steadily cruising at about 73mph, heat going and Lady Gaga on the box, I don't know, I think myself from seven or eight months ago woke up and was all like WHOA wait a minute you're DRIVING and you're OKAY with this. Considering this was one of those all encompassing Things You Must Learn And Are Terrified By this time last year, this is pretty revelatory. I mean, I don't freak the hell out when passing tractor trailors anymore. Well, okay, the double trailer ones still make me nervous. But yeah, that's pretty wow for me. I think that pretty much applies to a lot of things I was terrified by as little as a couple months ago... and now I'm not.
I forget who I was talking to about this, but they asked why I journal to the point of compulsive... and I think it's always been so I could go back every so often and check my progress bars. Have I improved any from this point last week/month/year? or am I still walking around in circles, walk around in circles, walk around in...? Honestly a lot of what I tended to bitch about in my "offline" journal for the past few years was a sense of doing exactly that. I don't quite feel like that anymore, which is nice. And weird, considering a lot of things are still kind of a mess. But yeah... forward, ho, and all that jazz.
Movies: debating whether I want to go see The Princess and the Frog this weekend. I had originally planned on taking Kidzilla to see it next time they come out, but like most kids she tends to ask a lot of questions about the movie while it's running and I think if I see it first I'll have quite a bit more patience with it that if I'm trying to see it for the first time as well. Anyone interested in doing a late show with me in the next few days?
Mayhem: Thinking of hitting karaoke at Seven-0s weekly between Christmas and the end of Jan-term, since none of the usual suspects will have Thursday morning classes to deal with. Also tempted to borrow my scanner from work and start a few projects this weekend. Still poking at Google Wave (I still have an obscene number of invites) and trying to figure out some practical uses for it; so far I've been mostly using it as a place to dump information on projects I'm thinking about, but may end up using it to plan a war game of some sort. Also gonna try to get to Haven more. Dancing is exercise.
Mushiness: Holy shit it's been a year already? what? (Well next week but STILL.) The squee is strong with this one. :D And still pretty goddamned wonderful.
