_bounce_* *grins* the Torchwood CDs just arrived, thank you! And eeeee, you drew me Jack! *loves* And the hand! *loves more*
Eeeeee! *runs around in circles* Talk about happy, getting a neat package at work. :D
~~
EEEE.

For those people out there who know health better, what's a good, safe goal for losing weight, say, in 4 months? I want to drop some weight before my birthday but I don't want to kill myself, either. Help?
(I need a health buddy. Not even someone who's here, just someone that can poke me once a week and get me motivated. I'd even give you a big stick.)
~~
I love my insurance company. I got a crack in my windshield this morning, about the length of a dollar. My insurance does cover window repair and they've got a company that works with them that will go out to you instead of you taking the car to them. If it's just a repair job, it's free. If they have to replace it, it's only $250.
Sweet.
~~
My doctor gave me the number to a therapist. I've been thinking about going back but she thinks the insomnia is tied into the anxiety/slight depression I get, which might (might) be tied to a serotonin problem. Both my mom and my grandmom (just found out about that one) had issues with it, so that's a lead they're following.
The hope is to have therapy ease the anxiety, which in turn will ease the insomnia. I've got sleeping pills again for the next three months when things get bad. And if therapy doesn't work, we'll see about medication.
Funny. Three years ago if someone had mentioned medication for something like this to me and I would have freaked out. I'd rather not go that route, I prefer Option A. But if I need it, I need it. (Personally, if I have to, I'm hoping for the sad rock medication because I like the "mascot". ...what?)
The only problem with the therapist is that they've got a 6 to 8 week waiting list before I can get seen. o.O If that turns out to be true, I'll have to get someone closer to work sooner than that. I mean, it's an indication that they're good but still.
~~
Am very very pleased with myself. I cooked dinner--homemade pasta sauce, no less--Monday night and thanks to the leftovers, made a ton of pasta salad last night. Part of my plan is to cook a lot more, meaning less eating out and better for me foods.
I need a place to get recipes that are tasty but healthy.
~~
...eh, this isn't TMI. I found out today that I'm still able to get the cervical cancer shots. I'm starting the treatment in the next week or so. The last shot will be well after my 26th birthday, so I'll probably have to pay for it myself.
But. What's $150 compared to cancer? Hell, I've paid that amount for my cat to get treatment, why not myself?
~~
I've got a ton of books/video tapes (yes, tapes) I need to donate/get rid of. I might invite some of the local folks (hi Ben) to come and poke through the books. I've already donated a bin of books to the Stafford library (once upon a time, my home away from home) and I'll keep doing that unless I can find another home for them.
*wry* And I've got a $60 dollar trade value at one of the local book shops already.
~~
I might stay and have a beer ($1 beer night at one of the local places, whoo) with some coworkers today. Start this whole being social thing. On the other hand, I was social all of last week and I might beg off to go clean house.
Oh my God, I'm getting old!
Seriously, though, lots more attempts at getting out of the house at least once a week now. Friday nights might wind up being my movie nights because traffic around here sucks.
~~
La la la, back to work.
