bleeeeegh

So I look like a cancer patient right now.

I was so sick yesterday. I was puking pretty much constantly for several hours. I burst all the blood vessels around my eyes, so it almost looks like I've been punched in both eyes. Or that I'm wearing a lot of red eyeshadow. Of all the times I've been violently sick, that's never happened to me. Hurray for a new low.

So I just tried to sleep a lot.

I've been off my crazy-meds for almost a week now I think, and after the first few terrible days I feel more or less fine. My appetite has decreased, which is just wonderful. I'm going to talk to my doctor about going onto a pill that won't make me a whale. That would be nice, not being on pills that make me hungry all the fucking time. My doctor isn't going to be back until the 29th, unfortunately. I still have my anti-depressants, because I don't take those quite as religiously as my crazy-pills. I'm very forgetful.

Good news, my AC is still awesome. And I get to look forward going to visit my parents in mid-july. Hopefully my dropping out won't create too much stress between my mom and I. I like visiting her when we don't fight. But when we do, just kill me, please.

That's all for now folks.

Chillin

So Kirsten and I finally got my new AC in, and it's wonderful. I mean, I already kinda miss being able to open my window, but I'm just not good with any kind of change, even if it is for the better. There was much prying and cursing when it came to getting the last few panes of glass out, and surprisingly it was the screen that gave us the most trouble. It's pretty useless now, but I'll deal with that when I have to try to fit it back in.

Here's the AC:


And her's the broken screen:


It's nice to be cool. Today I'm going to help Kirsten put in her AC, and it shouldn't be nearly as difficult since she's already done it a few times.

In stupider news, I'm pretty much out of anti-psychotics and I haven't even made a doctors appointment yet. They always close really early, so by the time I'm awake it's too late to call.

I didn't sleep a wink last night. I laid in bed until long after the sunrise, then eventually I fell asleep for a few hours. I had some pretty horrible, but interesting nightmares.

I'm still tired, I don't have much else to say.

Holy Boobies Batman

Earlier this week I bought an air conditioner for only $88 from Walmart. It was a pain in the ass to get home, but luckily my quasi-roommate came with me to help carry it. I haven't put it in the window yet, because there's some major problems.

I have a small-ish window with sideways sliding panes of glass. There's two interior panes, one that's kinda in the middle layer for some reason, and an outer pane and a screen. The first two panes popped out so easily I didn't bother to see if the others would come out before buying the AC. Now I can't get them out. I'm going to see if I can get Kirsten to take a look at it because she's much handier and probably stronger than me, but she's been really busy.

Also, the window is about four inches to high for the AC. If we did get the glass out and put it in, it would just topple out. So I got two boards from home hardware to prop it up from underneath, but I need to get another one because I underestimated how much I needed to lift it. But I have no idea how these boards are going to stay in the window. I have a metal window frame, so I can't just nail them in. I don't know about trying to screw it together. I'm thinking duct tape, in total desperation.

But christ this has been stressing me out.

Let's Play videos of Minecraft have mostly been keeping me preoccupied. I have decided that somehow I am going to buy that game. It's only available as a download, so I need a credit card or paypal, and I have neither, but somehow I will get it. SOMEHOW. And soon dammit.

BUT YAY CAL IS GOING OUT SOMEWHERE TONIGHT!

Kirsten is performing in a DC comic book themed burlesque show. She's the Joker, which is just all kinds of awesome. I watched her make almost her entire costume from scratch, so I'm mostly going to see how it turned out, even if she won't be wearing much of it for very long. And the whole thing is actually a fundraiser for the Batman shadowcast ballet her and some others are performing in ... August, I think. They're shadowing the old batman movie with Catwoman and Penguin, I can't remember what it's called.

So I better go get ready for that.
