This is becoming a pattern.

Had a wonderful day yesterday - will write it up eventually, as I have lots of thoughts on it, but for now, go read Adam's post about it!

Crashed out the later part of yesterday and all of today. Today consisted of breakfast - reading the paper - bringing comic boxes upstairs - shelving most of Elayna's books - falling asleep until now.

So. Pattern. Having one great day that involves some measure of physical activity/social energy, followed by one or more days that exhaustion and pain steal from me.

I don't like this exchange rate. Not one bit. I mean, it's nice that it's clear-cut and obvious, of course. And it's wonderful that I'm having great days - I wasn't in Georgia, so this is progress.

But still - I feel that I'm too young to pay such a price for every joy. Everyone knows that their body will crap out when they get old, but 32's not old. (Hush, all you college kids reading me. It's not. It's not supposed to be.) I was not prepared to deal with this.

Anyway.

Lost today. Which also meant losing a chance to hang out with someone I really like and have had almost no time wth since I moved here.*growl*

Tomorrow, I will reschedule my sleep-deprived EEG, since I think I've slept overmuch today for it to actually be a sleep-deprived EEG. I will call first thing in the morning and deal with insurance bullshit, as I run out of backup Lyrica tomorrow night, which means a) paying hundreds of dollars to get it sans insurance if they can't straighten this out, or b) stopping cold-turkey and dealing with withdrawal and seizures. I will go to the library, because that is good for my soul; otherwise, I will not do anything physically arduous, in order to save energy for evening yoga. I will write, I will read, I will list-make and possibly internet-shop, I will maybe have a nice hot bath. (I will also locate a craft store and a Staples.)

The urge to do twice as much on the good days in order to make up for the days the previous good days cost me is a vicious cycle, y0.

...and here's your randomosity.

Things people care about first, then things people might not care about...

* Adam, Elayna, and I will be in North Florida from Dec. 22-26. We might be able to swing an Orlando get-together on the 26th, if there's interest.

* Elayna and I will be in South Florida from Dec. 26-Jan 2. Mmmmaybe. We might be doing a Disney New Year's, but that's far from certain at this point. Anyway, I'd love to get together with my South Florida LJ peeps (did I just say peeps when not referring to marshmallow treats?) while I'm there.

* Adam, Elayna, and I will be at Arisia! I will be having a room party (must contact the guy re: that). I would appreciate donations from attendees toward cost of room, as I'm not having it in our regular room, as Elayna needs to sleep. She has already learned the 5-2-1 rule. Anyway, I would love to see everyone who's going to be in town for Arisia, but due to sheer volume of people, that party will be the best time. That and my panels (TBA), and meals.

Phew.

* If you want to give Elayna a $WINTERHOLIDAY gift, you can hit her Amazon wishlist, you can give to her favorite charity (Heifer Project), you can give her something cool that you made, or you can give her S.J. Tucker CDs - she'd especially like Sirens, for the alligator song. (Comment if you do, so she doesn't get multiple copies?)

Okay, stuff you probably don't care about:

* The one flaw of my fabulous desk? No drawers. So I must create drawers/storage.

Nifty desk trays.

Containers for wee supplies.

Storage for stuff like tape, extra staples, whatever.

* There's supposed to be snow tomorrow! Remind me to write up my first experience with snow...
