MERRY CHRISTMAS! MERRY CHRISTMAS! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Happy day to all my peeps. I pray that I find you all well & good out there in the land of make believe. I am doing quite well. The broncitious is mostly gone, since it's been 5 weeks, it's a damn good thing. It's still hanging on & I do have the opccasionaly coughing fit, but it's not every other minute now, it's not even every other hour.
I totally had an awesome Christmas. I didn't get to see my Pat, but he totally called me & that was so awesome that I didn't hardly mind not being able to see him. He gave me the new Legend of Zelda game for the GameCube. I'm super stoked. Not to mention that it has a slip of paper inside that I can send away to get a 30$ subscription to the Nintendo Power magazine. For a bonus offer, it totally comes with a strategy guide for all versions of the game (Wii, GCube & NDS) plus a soundtrack of the game. I'm totally stoked, since the music is the best part of the game entirely.
My brother totally gave me a giftcard to use on iTunes as well. It's great. Normally you need to give your credit card information to set up an account with the iTunes music store, so that's why I haven't bothered to set an account up yet. But using the giftcard, I could set up an account without giving that information. It's quite nice, because that way I'm not putting temptation in my way yet. I don't want to be able to use my credit card until I have it payed off, and if I can use it online to buy music, however cheap, I'll seriously never get it payed off. That's just the way I am. I have little self control in such matters, so rather than risk it, I just left it. Now I have an account without the worry. I can buy myself cards at Walmart if I so desire & if I don't, well, so be it too.
I used some of it to get MirrorMask the audiobook. I'm super stoked. I wanted to get Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, but the unabridged version is double what I had available. So I leftit for now. As it is, I can still get another cd too if I want, depending on the price. What I need to do is get a spindle of blank cds to back up my iTunes library. I have 5.6 GB of various stuff on my computer & I'd rather like to have a second copy of it, just in case. It's not too likely anything will happen to it, but you never can tell. Since I don't necessarily have access to all of it again (some being borrowed from other people & such), I want a hard copy. I mean to do that next pay day actually. It'll probably take a few hours to back it all up, but that's fine. And that way if I want to share some of it with a friend it's easy to do, I just need to bring along the appropriate cd with me to their place. It's great.
I totally had a doctor's appt today too. He told me that the broncitous will continue to fade with time, that I can do little more than wait it out. If I develop a high fever or get worse again, go back in & have it checked out again, just in case. Otherwise, there's not much that can be done. Oi. He also refilled a presciption for me that I was almost out of refills for & told me that I'm over due again for a pap test. It's not a big surprise, I'm always overdue for a Pap test. They aren't strictly necessary until you're either over something like 30 {maybe 50 like a mammogram, I forget for sure} or are sexually active. Since I'm still only 23, they aren't strictly necessary yet, so I avoid them as much as I can.
He also gave me a prescription for a cream that will murder the end of my warts. I had loads when I was little. They just wouldn't go away no matter what we did. They were burnt AND frozen at the hospital & we tryed every other kind of treatment that you can possibly think of. Nothing worked. I had pretty much given up when he finally sent me to dermatoligist (spelling!) in Bathurst. She gave me this cream to try & low & behold, it worked. In fact, it worked so well that it stripped the surrounding skin off my fingers as well. However, the point is that most of them are all gone now. If you'd told me that they'd be almost gone 13 to 15 years ago I'd have laughed in your face. There're two main ones that just love me too much to leave willingly though, & as they are getting bigger again & one this spreading across the thumb in bits, I want to finish our relationship. DIE EVIL MONSTER BEASTS, DIE! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!
What can I say? I'm an evil, sadistic murderer. I kill any insect that crosses my path, & even rodents that happen to annoy me at all. MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! ;) I don't mind them existing, but if they must I would much rather that they exist without my knowledge. Once I know they are alive I am not capable of resting until I have destroyed them. It's rather pathetic I'm sure, but oh well, what can I say?
Anyhow, it's bedtime for me. I hope you're all still having a super day out there in the land of make believe. Trust me, all days are good, just some are better than others. Today better be one of those that is better!
Cheers! Be safe!
