Well well, what are you doing here?

I hadn't realized I haven't updated this blog in so long...going insane between the end of the semester, a totally overwhelming Christmas "vacation", and collapsing on my couch in an attempt to stave off death upon my return to Texas.

I've spent the past couple days on the couch - I can feel my Eustachian tubes - and have been going stretches of eating nothing for 12 hours or 16 hours at a time and then eating a lot in one burst.  I don't know how good or bad it is for me, but I need to get myself into a good routine.  I'm my heaviest that I've been in years and it needs to stop.  The idea of developing diabetes like certain elder members of my family and having to stick myself daily with needles is a MASSIVE hell no.

I also got my energy bill in the mail today.  I was confidently expecting it to be low (I empty and unplug my fridge, and all my appliances, TV, everything, when I leave) and somehow it was nearly $100!!!  I thought keeping my thermostat set at 63F would keep the air going (every time I turn the AC/Heat off the apartment complex people come in and turn it back on...grrr) but not cost me.  SERIOUSLY pissed off.  You have to be kidding me - I wasn't here for three weeks, everything was unplugged and my bill is the highest it's ever been???  I guess that's life.

Anyway, despite my tubes and ears and most of me hurting and being cold, last night was a pretty cool night - got to talk to a friend for a really good conversation - and it reminded me that no matter how annoying and painful and blah life can be, there's always good, if you only look for it in the right place.
