Jan. 11th, 2008 12:34 pmWatching American Justice. LOL of the day from a former mob informant discussing one of the bosses:
"He was getting older, he had bad asthma, he was hooked on heroin...for his asthma..."
Yeah, I know most people get hooked because they're just looking for an asthma cure. First dose is free!
I have quite a bit of pain in my wrist but I need to learn to type with the splint on, so I'm working my way through the comments threads I've let pile up, not to mention the emails. I'm going to post a bit later today to the Storyteller journal and Jack & Ellis to let people who don't read this journal know; sorry in advance for spammage.
I'm still having the occasional dream about Bernard as well, generally very violent dreams about shouting and fistfights. I wake up tense, but no longer feel like I can't function after having them. Mum is working through it too, and has come to the conclusion that it's quite likely her own father had AS. Normally I would worry about this, but she isn't blaming herself for carrying the gene, so it's just...more information. No knowledge is ever wasted, is what I keep telling her. But it is hard to think about. I've gone through the DSM-IV criteria for AS to test myself for it, but I fail at least half of the diagnostic points necessary.
If I can get through work today I can come home and order a pizza, have a beer, and spend the weekend with my arm up, watching videos and maybe writing a bit. I'm tempted to start dictating my writing to my mp3 recorder so that I can type it at leisure once the pain dies down.
2008 is going to be a good year, I think. Right now I just need to focus on getting through the next two weeks and then the training for my new job, getting my wrist healed, and staying on top of bills. I feel pretty optimistic, though; I can do this.
