strange week. finished "knowledge of the holy." still in the middle of "1984" and "Everything is illuminated." Just started "renovation of the heart." feels good to read. always. know what else feels good? swimming. and rock climbing. well, actually rock climbing hurts. a lot. i'm still awkward and not so good at it, but i have fun when i go, so i guess it's worth it :) I still need to get a hold of a chalk bag from somewhere and ebay is not seeming to work with me... hopefully aunty nora can hook me up.
the sickness seems to be taking the back seat for a while - i'm down to 15 mg as of yesterday, and i normally don't get sick until i'm down to 10 so i've got 2 weeks of freedom left :) i can't help but get my hopes up every time... like, maybe this time, i won't get sick, and i'll actually get off the meds and lead a normal life (?!) i know, crazy right? i meet with the doctor next week to discuss the highlights of my illness - i'll let you know how that goes.
still no job for the summer, but i am looking for something i can start in august for the fall semester. it's a little early, but i figure it can't hurt to look. if worst comes to worst i'll pick up a couple shifts at borsports haha just kiddin' i'd rather not. ever. again.
things have been a little...complicated around the house - just mini drama going down, nothing that won't blow over in a couple days, but it does make me mad that i'm so nonconfrontational. it's really disadvantageous in times like this. i do more harm by keeping my mouth shut and swallowing my anger and resentment than i would by speaking a few choice words to give voice to my anger. otherwise it just builds.
woke up at 4am this morning with a stomach ache... probably from the drama going around. got some good reading done though, couldn't sleep. met with lindsay at 7, then crashed. thought about swimming today but i'd better take it easy whatever that entails.
possibly camping tomorrow - we'll see what mr. crohn's has to say about that. he seems to have a lot to say about a lot of things lately.
