Been a little spotty with the posting lately, I notice. Ehh, been a little burnt out on The Internet and my life has been at a pleasant sort of dull roar, so not much of note has happened to warrant posting. Some small notes though.
1) I need something to DO in the evenings. Lately I've been accidentally falling asleep in the neighborhood of 5-7 and not waking back up until 10-11ish, which is almost my whole evening. Yeah... no. I've got THINGS TO DO, lol. I know why it's happening, so hopefully I can stop that (it's actually a pretty common fall/winter thing for me). On the other hand, I'm almost back to my "normal" schedule of being up and at 'em around 7am after being pretty derailed from that all summer and most of this fall.
2) Roomie's back after a week away. I'm also glad about this, as we all know what happens when I spend too much time by myself. Oh I know, I could easily fix that and go visiting, and honestly I mean to do that more (cause man, being all up in my own head is kinda teh crazy making) but it's kinda nice to have another person around at home again.
3) I'm making another stab at giving up coffee. I know, clutch the pearls, me without my poison of choice? Heh. In related but not really news, not that I've stepped on a scale lately, but I seem to have hit my upper limit weight-wise and seem to once again be notching downwards. At least I feel less heavy; there were a couple weeks end of October where I considered taking up Huttese. Could be just me feeling better in general healthwise, though I'll admit I've gone a bit off track with my meds past few days (no, no correllation) so I need to get back on top of that. but anyway, gonna try to start hitting the gym regular again. You know, yet another thing I could be doing in the evening besides, you know SLEEPING.
4) Money is the one thing that remains stupid in my whole life equation. I can has budgeting skills nau plz? Especially since I've got things to save for now. *sigh* But yeah, I'd been so good about keeping my bank account in the black and then I overdrafted like four times this month in two separate accounts. ffffffffffuuuuuuuuucccccccc. *sigh* yeah. some shit needs some serious chickity checking, yo. I know where most of it evaporates to, and I think I've mostly nipped that in the bud - also giving up coffee means no more Dunks runs... cause really, there was a point where I think I was singlehandedly supporing the whole damn chain by me onesies.
5) The new Muse album is fantastic. Also I'm done with OZ finally and am feeling that curiously sad feeling after a long series of books, basically knowing you're not going to spend any more time with these characters. I mean, you can always watch the series again I suppose, but it's not the same the second time around. No worries - started TrueBlood this morning since I got the first DVD of that in. So far my verdict on that is it is charmingly meta-silly and I might stick with it for at least one more DVD.
6) Did the Browne call arounds today. I'm faintly amused that Dad failed to ask how I was but did inquire after
cell23. And Ale apparently has been wondering when I'm bringing "Drool" back for her to torment, which is cute and eerily reminiscent of how I used to be with my sisters' boyfriends back in the day. Cause clearly it was always less about my sisters and more about YAY MORE PEOPLE TO PESTER.
7) speaking of which... yeah. That continues to be working out pretty damn well. So... squeeeeeeeee? It still kinda boggles my mind that next month it'll have been a whole goddamn year already (lolwut?) and I don't think either of us intend on going anywhere. Be interesting to see where this all ends up, but I think I can safely say I've stopped looking for that other shoe I kept being afraid was gonna drop. But yeah, between him being infuriatingly wonderful at me and two small people that ask where I am first thing in the morning when they stay over (man, missed them this week - stupid flu)... I could get used to this.
I suppose I should make some attempt at going to sleep soon. Work in the morning. Woo.

Plus, after about a month or so, when you do have caffeine again (I recommend good quality dark chocolate), it's like you never had caffeine before! An excellent sensation!
