Things seem to be improving

Things are going fairly well, which scares the bejesus outta me because things never go well. Then again, I’m appreciating the tiny things in life, which could actually be safe.

My iPod was broken. In the middle of scrolling through a playlist, the buttons just stopped working. No warning. Thanks iPod. But, I gave it to my dad since he’s near the Apple store a lot and he gave it to them (it’s still under warranty) and they fixed it! Pretty pretty iPod is back. Bus stops will no longer suck! Except when my headphones quit on me, which will for sure be this week. I should have gotten new headphones when my iPod was in but I totally forgot.

And my discontinuation syndrome has pretty much discontinuated (<–not a word)! I actually left my house today for the first time since last Wednesday and I didn’t have to take Gravol or stop moving to keep from throwing up. Yaaay. Unfortunately, though, this means I’m going to have to go to class on  Monday and hand in a ten page story I was supposed to write during these days of can’t-look-at-a-screen-or-my-eyeballs-will-spin-right-outta-my-head. Tomorrow’s gonna be a long day of writing.

And, there’s a wicked storm going on outside! Most people don’t like storms but I love them. It’s been pouring since last night and the wind is intense, all breaking trees and bending signs. I think I like storms because the weather is as chaotic and messed up as I feel most of the time.

So, except for finding the downside to those first two things, life’s ok right now. My deposits are in for college, I’m going to cash the bonds my grandparents set up for me (and buy some new damn headphones and a new laptop since I swear to god this one’s getting a hammer in the face if it crashes one more time), and I can leave the house and listen to music while I do so. Plus there’s rain to watch and an excuse to wear my brightly coloured rain boots.

P.S. It seems I’ve reversed my sleeping again. Not really sure how I pulled that off. So, it’s 6:30 in the morning and I have yet to sleep. Which means you all get to be treated to my weirdy 4 AM thoughts! And this is another good thing, I guess, as long as I can pull it off. I’m still getting more than enough sleep and for some reason I much prefer to be up at night than during the day. I get a lot more done (homework, file maintenance, writing, housework) in a couple hours in the middle of the night than I do getting up at 7 after a full night’s sleep and having the whole day.

P.P.S. It occurs to me suddenly that I’m on no medication at all right now, not even the pill since it’s my off week, and it’s kinda scary. I like the feeling, though.
