Health
I've been on a whirlwind tour of doctors offices lately everything from psychiatrists to neurologists and the basic gist of it is I'm all effed up but I'll get better.
I'm taking so many pills and having so many tests done I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. I actually had to go out and buy one of those 7 day pill sorters. Yup the ones the old folks use. I'm 28 and living the life of a 70 year old, its grand. I'm getting used to the side of effects of all the new meds I'm on. And while some of them are just temporary, others, mainly the migraine pills are more long term. And the side effects for that little pill my lovelys is a doozy.
Weight loss.
Let me repeat that for those who missed it. Weight loss. At first I thought I would be happy about it. But then I realized what that meant, and how I would be losing the weight and I changed my mind. I have basically completly lost my apetite. And for such a tried and true fatty like me, that really really sucks. Its not that I really forget to eat, I just don't have the urge to and when I do I'm okay after just a few bites. I've already lost 4 lbs in just a couple of days and while most people might think thats awesome I realize that its just not healthy.
On a positive note, I'm off crutches, walking without a limp and if all goes well I will get the all clear today at my dr's appt. to resume exercising. Finger's crossed. As far as non health issues go...
Life
The bff has settled in nicely she is officially moved into the apartment, the room and living room have both been transformed to make way for her furniture and I got to say I really love having her around all though my therapist says having us both mopey in the same room is not great. They have been trying to get me out more and more but I tend to spend my weekends at my parents to see my Bailey whose still over there and will be for a while longer.
Her bed in my room
Her sofa in our living room doesn't it look cozy
The pirate and I talk from time to time or I should really say text but thats it. I'm not interested in anything more with anyone actually. I want and need some time to myself.
School
I've started school again. I'll be taking two courses this year and keeping my fingers crossed that I will pull through it this time around, its hard as hell but I know I can juggle it all if I just focus and get it done.
Travel
I will be taking my last vacation of the summer next week and going to Austin next weekend to see our boys there Eric and Mandy. I haven't been this exciting about something in I don't know how long. I am really looking forward to getting away from it all and seeing them.
On a side note, I know its sucked here lately, thanks to those of you who still drop in from time to time.

Is it Topamax? I found that made things taste funny, but it WORKS. And it might not be super long term, I actually took that for a period where I was having really frequent migraines, but I got that under control and could just treat them as they came up. It's like once I stopped the cycle of having them frequently, I didn't have them much at all.
Lisa - It is Topomax. And it does make everything taste different. I can't really be bothered to eat much of anything I am eating so much less than before its ridiculous. It has lessened my migraines but I still get them from time to time so I won't be getting off of them anytime soon. I take 4 pills a night its crazy I tell you :-(
NoooOoo, not the CURVES! Spare them, I beg of thee!
No more cheese and crackers? Oh, no. This is not good. I hope you get well soon, love! Good thoughts to you~
Seb - I promise you the curves will stay intact, they are part of the original packaging they will just be a little but trimmer ;-)
GG - I know it's the saddest thing ever no cheese and cracker parties for us. :-( I would really just like the nausea to pass once thats gone I'll be ok.
