I'm Touching You!

I have managed to lose touch with everyone again. :( I'm sorry. 

I like to pretend that people miss me when I disappear and don't talk for a week or so. Ignorance is bliss and all that.

I had a rough couple of days, what with sickness, stress, and a mild freak-out. They have all been dealt with and I do feel much better. Ok, I lied. They haven't *all* been dealt with but I still feel better. I need to do a lot of reading before Friday morning's Modern Philosophy quiz and I don't have the book. I also need to make sure I have a 10-15 page draft to turn in to my Social Justice professor on Monday as well as my proposal for how to curb the problem of overpopulation. Oy. Now I'm stressed again. But that's ok, it's almost over.

I had a new roommate move in yesterday. It's very weird and I don't think I like it. I got very used to living alone and it's quite an adjustment. I suppose it's good though because I will be moving in with Alison and her son in August. *scared face* I've been... not worried... but thinking about that lately. I dunno how this whole living with a kid thing is going to go. I'm hopeful that all will be well... but... yeah... I'm sure it will be ok and I know it will keep me from getting depressed and refusing to leave my house. Alison can kick my ass if I need it, lol.  Oh, but back to the situation at hand. This chick, Liz... I think..., She's in her late twenties/early thirties, kinda redneck, and she's not a student. That's weird to me. I thought they were only supposed to rent to students here. I obviously haven't talked to her very much but I don't know that I see us being overly friendly really. Maybe I'll luck out and she'll move. Unfortunately that doesn't actually help because I have another girl, Candice, moving in on Sunday. I have talked to her via Facebook and I think she and I could be friendlier at least. She's a psych student and closer to my age but doesn't live the college student lifestyle so this seems much more promising. 

I'm crazy tired. I slept well last night and the night before but I keep waking up around 7 am when I don't need to be up until 8 or 9 or 10. It's kind of frustrating.

I also keep avoiding the gym. =/ This is not a good thing. I'm doing well at staying on my diet but I've taken a week's vacation from the gym and I need to get my butt back in gear. When I lose 20 more pounds I will have reached my second ... tier? I dunno. I'm at 55 lbs lost, I think. Or maybe it's 45. I don't remember what my starting weight was anymore, lol. Either way, I'm still making progress and I feel pretty good about it overall.

My sister is set to give birth in June and she's wanting to deliver early. I'm trying not to get frustrated. She got married and pregnant within the same month. She had extensive back surgery (steel rods from neck to butt) just two years ago. The extra weight is not good for her back and she is starting to feel the effects. The ligaments along her left side are stretched to the extreme and are causing her extreme pain so she has to spend a lot of her time laying in bed to relieve the pressure. Because she and her husband just moved (again) to Oregon, they don't have the money to buy her the kind of bed she needs for her back. Or at least that's what I'm told. All-in-all I just think it's a rather unfortunate situation and I wish she had just listened to someone. I wish she had moved back home when she had the chance. I wish she had used a fucking condom. Ugh. It all just seems so avoidable and I don't understand why she thought this was a good idea.

My relationship is going well and it has officially been a month since I got back home from seeing him. It was kind of a rough week. It's hard to deal with the memories of being there and how wonderful it was and knowing that I'm not sure when I'm going to see him again. I know that it will be sometime this summer, but I don't know the specifics. It's just sad. I honestly try not to think about it too much. I don't think about my time there very often... it honestly just hurts. That's another reason I am trying to write that blog about my time there... I am already forgetting things so I just want to get all of it down so I can look back and all that jazz. I'll try to get back on that sometime soon as well. 

Well. I think that's about it, boys and girls, more information than you ever wanted to know.

How are things in your world these days?
