Scattered to the winds

whitereflectionI'm not even going to try to be coherent. Just gonna babble. And...weeeeeeeeeeeee. *arches eyebrow*
Phone was fixed yesterday am (yay). They were supposed to come in the late afternoon, but showed up in the morning. Good thing I hadn't gone to my dr. appt. yet--damned Qwest bastards. Anyway, he just had to disconnect this wire. I guess it had something to do with the first problem we had a couple weeks ago, where a really, really old (and unused) jack went bad, and had to be removed. So this wire was supposed to get fully disconnected, and wasn't. He wasn't sure if they hadn't done it because the system had started working (and the wire then flaked later), or if they had kinda disconnected it and hadn't sealed it off completely. Or something. He wasn't explaining it really well. Ah well, it's working and that's all that matters, since I'm still going to research cel phones, and switch to one of those after we're done dealing with car/insurance stuff.
Had my follow-up dr. appt. yesterday morning--she was nicer than I remembered, but than again the morning of the accident I was rattled out of my gourd (not to mention any time I can get intimidated, I do). Anyway, she says everything's healing normally, and it's just going to take more time--I'm to keep taking the Naproxen stuff, and remember to apply heat (hot baths--dr's orders, seriously :) ). But I'd been feeling rather stiff and sore before the appt. and afterwards I fricking *hurt*. Made me all cranky the rest of the day--least my legs are feeling a bit better today. Anyway, I'm scheduled for another followup in two weeks.
One other thing arrived with good timing yesterday am before the appt--Fed Ex brought my iPod! 5gb of portable mp3 goodness! :D I've already gotten it loaded up with my music library, and have brought it to work today. Happy happy happy... Now I just have to find that adaptor I'd bought to use my CD player in the car--as it will work for the iPod, too. *dances* It's so damned cool, I'm so happy I finally bought it. :D
Something came in for Anj yesterday, too--the gal from genkigang.com finally shipped Anj's Lain Bear Hat, and it's damned adorable. :D She's going as an artbook version of Lain to AI (kinda the 'raver dj' Lain look), so we're happy she has the final part of her costume. Not to mention she's planning on wearing the thing in winter, since it's fleece. It's most nifty. Was it Onsenmark who first clued us in to this site? I think so--domo arigato! ^__^
Lessee, what else--went out to dinner with Dad last night, got to talk with Mom and my brother Dave by phone. Ooh, and Dad gave me cash for my (soon) bd--it's definitely going with me to the con in hopes of being spent on a cel. :D If I can't find any good cels there, I'll be saving it and scouring the online auctions and stores after AI. I am *SO* in cel withdrawal...must buy painted acetate...must buy painted acetate...
Speaking of AI, someone's looking into why we haven't received confirmation of our con registrations (and why my check hasn't been cashed yet). That's really been worrying me--though they have said if they can't find it, we can just register at the con itself. I know it wouldn't be as bad as the lines at Akon, but still I don't want to have to do it like that--especially since I'd have to spend 20$ to stop payment on the check I originally mailed, plus spend the extra money for the 35$ registration fee instead of the 25$ I spent by sending in the reg stuff way back when in July. Meh. Least the hotel's still set up ok, from what I gather. I need to call and confirm that everything's still ok for that registration.
Meh...I hope Katherine stays chilled about AI. She's got a friend flying in that she'll meet in RL for the first time, and she's starting to stress already. She's doing the "everything has to be just so" thing, and it's starting to grate on me just a little. Guess I need to chill about things too. I was just hoping that I'd have someone to drive to Cedar Rapids with other than James, but she's demanded to drive out earlier than I can get off work for, so it'll be her, Anj and Kelly driving out separately, and James and I driving out a bit later in the afternoon. All I know is that I *will* have someone other than just James and me in our room. Even just for the cost factor, but also for the socialization--I will not have set up us all going as a group, to just be with James in the hotel room. If Katherine somehow pulls Anj into the other room with her, Kelly, and Jamison, I *will* go crash on their damned floor. Meh. I wanted just one room for the all of us anyway, but they all demanded two rooms for space and multiple bathrooms. *rolls eyes* Those guys just would not survive the way we all did it at Akon.
Night before last I tried writing a bit, but it didn't go. *sigh* I got a whole paragraph out in what, a couple hours? I don't know why I still hope to write in a group environment again someday when I'm like that. I'm too goddamned slow. It's no wonder I never really commit to writing all my plot ideas--I take so much time to do anything, I have to put the entire rest of my life on hold. And with everything I'm doing, especially having added in the guitar and trying to keep social with folks, I just can't do that. :p I'm just being inundated with songfic ideas, tons of songfic ideas--and Seishirou and Subaru are very, very much trying to eat my brain. They just won't let up--and it's gotten worse now that Kurama and Hiei are saying that they still want to be worked with. >_< *flails at Tsuzuki and Hisoka and all the Gravitation folks* And don't you all start in on me, either! *flails flails* Goddamned bishounen. >_<;;;
...*sigh* I still don't have anyone to watch our cats while we're in AI. Dammit, I gotta come up with someone to do that, like soon. And Bebop pissed me off (surprise) this am--he got up on the shelving unit where my action figures are, and knocked all but two down. *siiiigh of frustration* And another bummer, Kel's cat Kuronekosama (that she found as a stray about the time of Akon) pushed his way out of a loose screen window last night, and she couldn't find him anywhere outside this am. She's going back home to look more, and is hoping he'll get hungry and show up again, but she's really, really down and worried, just majorly upset. *sighs* It's a pissy day for everyone, I think--I really hope she finds him soon. She's gotten extremely attached to that cat.
Dang...I noticed last night, and it's still true this am, that I'm being hit with odd, extremely random mood swings. Dandy. :p Hm...time to go out and fill in at the Documents Desk.
