Bullet points

• So far the Allegra is made of fail. I'm going to wait and see on it for a few days, but the full blown allergy attack I had upon going to bed last night certainly was NOT what I had in mind when I switched up meds. I'm praying it's just a reaction to the last of the zyrtec leaving my system and the allegra not kicking in yet. We'll see where I am on Friday.
  
  
• Had a weird dream where a bunch of geeks were telling me that the GLaDOS impression I've been cultivating for the past couple of weeks sucked and I should give up trying. Somehow in the dream I was really disappointed by this, apparently my subconscious is really attached to the idea of sounding like a psychotic computer.
  
  
• Twinky Assistant started off with lounge again this morning, and has now switched to "le dance et le trance... nonstop!" If the light switch weren't on the other side of the room I'd be very tempted to throw a light switch rave. Also he's switched up his Adium sound theme to Super Mario World - listening to him IM people is much with the amusing.
  
  
• You sorta have to feel sorry for the Mountbatten-Windsors. Of all the European royal families currently "in power" as it were, they kinda look like the rest of the families ruled by consensus to beat them all with the ugly stick with double hits administered by the Grimaldis.
  
  
• Stepped on the scale last night for pewps and ha has, and yikes, yeah, my weight's been on an upswing - I've jumped to 192lbs. I've felt pretty bloated and sluggish for the past couple of weeks, so I now know I'm not crazy. I'm currently figuring out what I want to do about it, as I've got pretty triggery issues concerning things like diets, and no, saying it's for the purposes of "getting healthier" doesn't usually cut it with me, it still kinda freaks me the hell out. On the other hand, I'm wondering if trying to stick to some sort of goal or a plan might actually _help_ with that if it actually succeeds - a good part of my issues concerning my initial weight loss dealt with not feeling in control of my body, so maybe slimming down and toning up on my own terms might relieve that somewhat. Regardless, I definitely need to step up on the whole buying a Smith gym membership and slicing the sugar out of my diet again, as I really dislike being this, well, jiggly. That and there seems to be a general trend in the Amoeba towards getting all exercised... might as well join the bandwagon and see if I can't get back down to 175.

And now - back work and sniffling and hating the new meds.

(no subject)

I made delicious dinner tonight - namely my favorite orange chicken recipe, which I realized as I was slathereing raw chicken breasts in mustard that I haven't made since we moved here. I have been admonished to make it more, as it is, if I do say so myself, quite with the delicious. Really I need to cook more in general - I forget that when I actually make an effort I can actually make things that are yummy. And you know, I can't let sydneycat spoil my ass with teh cookins _all_ the time.

Over said dinner me and the gals finished up season 2 of OZ. *sigh* Oh Harold Perrineau. Shaving off the dreads was such a travesty.

Speaking of dreads, other than the fact that I need to sit and spend some serious quality time rolling them, mine are growing out pretty well, and I like the shape they form around my face. The ones right in front have grown out to the point where I need to invest in some of those skinny bra strap headbands or dig up some barrettes so I don't feel like I have windshield wipers all the time. It's kinda cool really - for the first time ever in my life... well, I won't go as far as saying that I like my hair finally, but I'm at least in the ballpark.
