My best friend was at New York Comic Con today and as she was telling me about what she did and who she saw, I was thinking about how much I missed her.  I only get to see her about once a year, and we don't talk on the phone that much cuz it's just too expensive.  We stick to text and IM. I would have loved to have been with her today.  It would have been a blast, since the two of us are ubergeeks. *L*
Are you me? :o Everything you just said, I could have said.

I don't know.  Do you have a really close friend who lives about 1500kms away so you don't see them very often, and the reason you get along so well is because you are both complete nutjobs? *L*

My mood?  Have been a bit anxious the past few days.

To be really honest not so hot. Really s. scared about my heart stress test on November 1. Had one postponed because of a bowel infection. If it is negative, I come off the transplant list. Eating about 750 cals a day and drinking about 750 mls in order to lose weight but hardly an oz. has come off. Don't tell me about exercise as find it hard to walk to my car. Apparently need a back fusion (bit like a bone graft). I hope Mary Mackillop has a few good words to God for me.

Bouncy and excited - my volunteer position with the Legal Aid Center came through, and I get to go next Thursday.  I get to help people, learn things I need to know to be a paralegal, make some nice networking connections at the courthouse where I hope to get a job in the near future, meet new friends and get myself out of the bad habit of coming home from school and not going back out the door.  Being sick for a decade has gotten me out of the habit of being involved in the world around me - at least the part not accessible from my computer screen.  I'm too used to not being able to do things or go anywhere without being sick after.  This is a nice kick in the rear to get me out of that habit!

Productive!

I spent the morning cleaning the living room.  Not a "lick and a promise", but real dusting, sweeping, cleaning hardwoods and going through stacks of mail I have been avoiding for weeks.  AND -- I still feel pretty good!   :2thumbsup;   And Beth just called to say she was coming over to visit for awhile.   :thumbup;

I'm going to Nova Scotia tomorrow for my grandfather's 80th birthday, and I feel no excitement about it at all. It's also Chrystal's birthday, so that could be why I see no love in the world today

Thanks. It was a spur-of-the-moment arm's-length "look what I got for Christmas" photo, but everyone says that about it.

Today, my mood's pretty neutral. That's my default mood, it seems.

Pleasantly exhausted.  Spent the night at Sis's lake cottage.  Last weekend before the pontoon comes out of the water, so we bundled up and took a boat cruise - then went back and ate waaaaaay to much during the cook-out.
