Life Shifting Again

Nothing wrong, just noticing a few things as I copy/transfer many old files from XPhome to Vistahome. Kayla the bearded dragon is supposed to be "bruminating" (herp for "hibernating") but apparently this doesn't necessarily mean sleeping. In her case, I think it means "cling to Mommy more". I'm still trying to get over the shock of the idea that this lizard actually LIKES me! As many lizards as I've caught & released into the wild, all but one was pissed at me for catching them and very glad to flee from me. Now I have a tame lizard that loves her Mommy! She still does get pissed tho when I don't let her explore the main house because construction on the carport/appartment STILL isn't finished yet. Me & Kayla are moving in when it is.

As for having the 3 extra people in the house...well, there isn't much I *should* blog about there, but needless to say yes I have spoiled my parents badly and I'm adjusting to having a not-quiet house during the day/morning/afternoon/evening/aftermidnight/whenever there's the inevitable screaming and crying and banging on the walls and doors and things. I've watched siblings (other people's since I have none) all of my life but living with cousins who happen to be each other's sisters is quite the...experience. And they're both teenagers...and being homeschooled. And I'm still here most of the day everyday...sleeping...fighting the pain...finding food...cuddling with the lizard...

Good news is I'm on some powerful meds that ACTUALLY WORK for me! My head has been SO BLESSEDLY QUIET! I fired my neuro doc of about 7 years because he stopped actually listening the me about 6.5 years ago, got a new doc, and another diagnosis. In addition to the now-official treatment-resistant ocd, seasonal affective disorder, and other stuff which seem to all be in remission now, I now have fibromyalgia. Which explains QUITE A LOT. I've been hypersensitive (just look at my bullshit detector, sheesh) since I was in the womb, and apparently all those NIMD-related drugs can 1-induce new symtoms or 2-allow deeply-repressed symptoms to resurface. So my pains since 1997 are a combo of the two. Now all that had been repressed now comes bubbling forth! <to fired doc:> "Once again, things that should have been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!" Been thinking about taking down ablog since the journey seems to have passed that stage.

Anyway, </downs the rx's> The Circuit City's "leaving the public consciousness forever because of some greedy bank bastards who screwed up our economy and are now giving themselves bonuses with bailout money that should have been given to the actual *people* in debt in the first place" sale prompted us to finally get me that long-awaited laptop! <laptop waves, heck it's the one posting right now> So I get to scout out Vista, WiFi, Blu-Ray, and the itty WACOM tablet for the geeks back home! :-) Maybe I'll actually get back to being online again! I've sure missed everyone! <3 The electric bass guitar (which I paid for myself!) with the oh-so-slender-neck is also a blast- one of Dad's bandmates (yes, bandmates) is dying to have a jam so I'd better catch up on all I remember from high school and thensome.

Looks like this musician/writer/artist/html'er has got some interesting stuff to look forward to now that we know better what I have and what to do about it. Hey, Gumbo- the support ribbon for FM is the same as for lupus! Go figure. :-)

Well, I'm finally starting to get sleepy...those purse-sized suduko and crossword puzzles will just have to wait for some other evening. I'm such a dork, I time myself on those things. G'night!
