So Tired

Everyday Adventures

And I have no clue what to write about. Lots of stuff happened today (no work from the doctor’s, of course) but nothing it writeable. And I don’t care that that’s not a word.

Oh, and I got bored and cut my hair.

“Firehose of Creativity”

Everyday Adventures

That phrase, in an email from an old friend, made me giggle this morning.

What didn’t make me giggle was the lack of word from the doctor. Blah. So I’m still waiting to see if Tuesday morning was a waste or not or if we’re ever going to figure me out.

But I did get _some_ good news: My name is finally right on my PayPal account, now! Yay! See, back when I set up my account in 2000 I had a different last name. When I changed it legally it really didn’t seem that big a deal to not go through the hassle of supplying documents, etc to PayPal to effect the change (hoops, they have them). But, since I plan to open pre-orders for the RA Year 1 Book in the next month or so I wanted there to be no question of who was doing business here. So last week I trundled through the process again and found that you can now upload scans of the required documents (and thank goodness the Clerk of Court has actual scans of documents on their website, made things so easy)! Yay! But there was still no sign of the change as of today so I sent them a polite status request email and wonder of wonders, it’s now updated! Whee! I’m me again 🙂

One Piece of News

Everyday Adventures

The piggies aren’t broken. Apparently the x-ray was perfectly clear, I can still maintain my “no broken bones” title (knock on wood), and it’s just a matter of the soft tissue healing. However long that takes (up to another month I’m told).

Aside from that. Nothing new to report. My anxiety leading up to this mornings ultrasounds was (of course) way worse than the actual experience. I actually lucked up and got a very personable sonographer (usually I get the prune-faced battle axe who has the bedside manner of a bean) but she couldn’t tell me anything what (if anything) she saw. I don’t know why I thought I’d know something today and, really, I’ll be lucky if I get my results by the end of the week but I’m hopefully. I’m not generally a patient person and this sort of limbo is never really helpful. So I’ll just try to stay busy in the mean time.

Wrapping up the Weekend

Everyday Adventures

I teetered a bit on that whole no-shopping thing this weekend but it wasn’t much. And it was in the name of research and good will as while he was ringing up my purchases I sweetly asked if i could conduct a brief interview. So, yeah, total expense account. I can only claim laziness and cravings for the meals out Friday and Saturday but it still wasn’t at all extravagant. So I didn’t make it an entire month, but I got close! And I’m going to stick with it until Friday, anyway.

Work-wise I’m in the midst of wrapping up my last 4 articles for the month. It always feels good to get another month in the can which leads directly to another check in the mail. Always a good thing. And since it gives me most of a week before I need to start writing the next set of articles that gives me time to not only work on this week’s comics but scripting all of next month as well. Back to the photo editing for the articles, though.
