Heh... long day. Spent the morning getting ready for the cable guy and doing laundry. Cable guy came, stayed for freaking ever, and was very helpful... until he cut the cable to my bedroom as part of a test, and didn't rewire it. it doesn't have a cable box, just basic. nonetheless we are not thrilled.

after that, went out... i had a chiro appointment. it appears that the pains in my hands are related to the pains in my neck (heh heh). there are nerves in the neck that run into the hand. I'm trying to spend less time on the computer in general, though, til they feel better.

Got dragged to the mall afterwards... poked around while the momster got some stuff adjusted on her cellphone, and ran into an acquaintance from HS - she has kids, is getting a divorce next week. but she looks really, really good. we chatted for a few minutes, but i had to go. it's interesting sometimes to run into these people.

after that, with much coercion, i finally succeeded in the dvd player campaign. went and got one at circuit city, a decent sony. it took for-freaking-ever and was horribly complicated to hook up and run, but after some trial and error and moving of heavy furniture and unhooking an outmoded electronic array and so on, it FINALLY worked. home theater systems are not that horrible to hook up (we have a surround sound receiver, digital cable, a vcr, a tv, and now a dvd player, so hookup is not just two cords, but it's also not the impossibility some people would have you believe - the only reason it took so long was a problem with the video input cord to the tv from the av receiver, and knowing that the tv had to be changed to video input to watch a dvd - i almost had to call autumn's boy to beg for help, but applying some logic saved the day - the whole thing has never been hooked up correctly before). I showed the momster some of the features. Now I'm watching the serial experiments: lain #1 dvd that syrxx got me for my birthday (yay thanks! groovy!). need... more... anime....

so, that has been my extremely active day. i'm way exhausted. i had too much sweet stuff today. i want an apple before i go to sleep, but i think i might try to forgo it.

I've just been bumming around today... I was so completely destroyed when I went to sleep last night that I declared it my Day Off and told the momster that aside from my hair appointment, I planned to go nowhere and do nothing. But I didn't feel so horrible when I woke up, so I've been a little more active than I planned.

Got up, bummed around, went to my hair appointment, won an argument that I had with my mom last night by getting confirmation from Jill (who does my hair) that my answer was correct, etc. It's one of those weird days that's totally overcast and rainy but still hot hot hot. I was going to stop at the little indie store where I often shop, but alas I had forgotten my umbrella.

Now it's approaching supper-time; I have gone through the toolbox (of my stepfather's tools) in the garage to see what we actually have... everything, it seems. Soon after, someone put rocks in my stomach, and I made a mental note to stick closer to my stupid restricted diet (which I threw to the wind yesterday). The episode was not fun.

Overall, I've been so energetic lately, as compared to the usual, that I am having a hard time taking time off. In the last week I haven't been good at sitting around, reading, being online, etc. It's kind of a nice change, except that I really need to relax now!

ow. I really hurt now & feel sick and feverish. I've put on warm pajamas and snuggled up for the night. I could feel this coming. I wish I had paid more attention!
