Friday

My Blue Shield info came in. So far, it seems like I'm still at the lower rate...fingers crossed. I don't want these zits anymore than you do, guys.

Speaking of, the skin is doing pretty well. The red marks haven't faded yet, but I don't seem to be in mass breakout mode anymore, for which I am eternally grateful. I think the fish oil has a lot to do with this—it reduces inflammation—and I'm sure the good ol'Western medicine is still kicking in, too. Yay chemicals!

Am working on returning to something of a normal sleep-work schedule, since I edit much better in the mornings. It's a process, unfortunately. It doesn't help that it's utterly freezing out now, and I sleep underneath seven - sometimes eight - layers (sheet, three blankets, two comforters, my faux fur and sometimes a throw). It makes for a delightfully warm nest, one I am loathe to leave in the morning.

I should make a list of things I miss about modern apartments. On the top of the list is dishwasher, no doubt. Then central heat. Insulation.

However, I have my hardwood flooring, which makes up for a lot of things.

I wonder what summer's going to be like here.

Rainy and wet outside. Supposedly we're in for a real storm this weekend.

Had a major success last night: I fit into my skinny jeans! Not "skinny jeans" as they're currently identified (I don't like the way those look; my jeans all have some flare to them) but the jeans that fit when I am...well, on the skinnier side. Not being chained to a desk all day is doing wonders for my physique. I suspect I'm also eating healthier by making my own food much of the time, and frankly...I'm not snacking all the time, either. All of these things are pluses.

Off to get ready for lunch in Fullerton. Potato promises the tomato bisque soup at this place is divine.
