I installed the package tracker gadget on my google desktop, lol. According to it, Sigg bottle has been delivered (and so it has! so pretty!), one of Aeris' new outfits should show up today, and the rest of the stuff is either in transit or stuck at the "we've received payment" notice, though I'm not terribly concerned about those, as I ordered a bunch of stuff from the same ebay seller and I'm pretty sure she combined the packages. so... eh, we'll see. But yeah. I'm totally a tracking number nerd watch me go.

One of my ankles looks normal this morning! Well it did when I got up, it's puffy again now. But progress is good. I've discovered that the real secret to getting the swelling in my legs down is sweating a lot, which I found out accidentally the last two nights when I fell asleep with the bed toaster on. The problem is, I'm still banned from or not up for doing things that'll make me sweat a lot, grr. Thinking of taking C's advice today and seeing if I can get in to see Holly sometime tomorrow, as the next suture down has started to pull now, and if I can, asking her about maybe starting some light regular exercise again. *snort* I find it funny that at the beginning of the year I was pretty scared of the elliptical and now I can't wait to get back on the damn thing. *chuckle*

Spent the morning retwisting my dreads. It's funny I grumble privately about how slow they're growing and then I look at pictures of myself from January and think, okay, no, they've actually grown quite a bit. Problem is I don't deal with my hair nearly as often so I've lost the muscles in my arms that are used to being held above my head for long periods of time. OW.

Gods. There is still a veritable MOUNTAIN of work to be done at work. *cries* I'm trying really hard to not to stress about it and to have faith that I'm doing the best I can with it, but GAH. It's really hard not to push myself under these circumstances, it really really is.

Speaking of stress and pushing myself, had an appointment with Chiquitita last night, and spent the session really just kinda bitching about the whole surgery experience. A couple of interesting things came out in the session... interestingly enough, after the first couple of days back, I haven't really been hyper-vigilant about my body. Gods. I remember after the PE for months I was jumping at every twinge, muscle spasm, headache and cramp. Now? Not so much. You would think this whole thing would increase the "oh god oh god I'm gonna die" response... but no. Which is probably good in the stress department, I suppose, but it's kind of interesting that this time around I seemed to bounce back mentally a lot faster than last. Hell, I've been sleeping with the lights off again lately. That's a big step.

I'm obsessed with Zydrate Anatomy. Like seriously, I know all the words now. Damn catchy number.

8:01. *sigh* Gotta go get dressed now. Drat.

cognitive dissonance for the win?

I just saw a picture of a ceramic lawn jockey, a confederate flag, and an Obama sign on one lawn/porch.

Internet, how you hurt me.

Woot!

Last two strings are out. I decided I'd had enough of them and called Holly's office, they managed to squeeze me in today. And I don't actually have to go back - the remaining four strips of tape will eventually fall off, and I get to drive again. Still on lift restriction, and will be until New Years. Low impact exercise is okay though. So I think what I'll do is I'll give it another week, and start slowly getting back on the elliptical saddle on Nov 2.

I almost have all of my singing range back. Still vibrating weird in the highers, and I don't really have any volume, but it's in tune and it sounds almost normal.

And now I gotta run off again.

Doll squee

So thanks to birkwelch's birthday paypal, Aeris has a couple new outfits! Lighting things in my room is a bitch, so do excuse the grainy.



I got one other outfit which I'm not quite as happy with (I'll post a pic later with a full review), and there is one more item coming. Oh, pretty much everything Aeris is wearing - sweater, cargo shorts, tights, stripy socks and the stompy boots (which I still think are the most awesome thing evar), are from ebay seller dollclothessewbeautiful.

I think sometime this weekend I'll do a photostory. I haven't done one for Aeris yet, and there is still pretty autumn-ness to be had....
