How the fuck did I end up with a Facebook account? Jesus. I am such a sucker for peer pressure. I think this means I have to officially delete my Friendster account. 3 social networking accounts is just too much. I've got to stop the insanity.

Here's my latest attempt at Operation Stop Feeling Like Crap:

I'm getting my eyes checked this afternoon, I think maybe my poor eyesight is contributing to my dizziness, etc.

I've started taking dramamine. Who knew it would totally work?

I'm back on vitamins.

I stopped the hippy treatment (aloe vera juice, digestive enzymes, licorice extract).

I drink tea at night.

I've also started taking this stuff called Quietude. Weird, I know, but shit, it makes me sleep.

So that's the program. At least I'll get some badly needed glasses out of the deal. Seeing as my last new pair came when I moved to Boston in 1999. I suck at taking care of myself.

Violet is on the verge of walking I think, and I'm terrified of it. She is a maniac as it is, I can't even begin to imagine what it will be like when she's upwardly mobile. She can crawl up stairs and yesterday she climbed onto our bed. Um hello? When on earth do you learn these things?

I haven't done any christmas shopping at all. Not that I can afford to, but it's the thought that counts right? Maybe I'll just make banana bread for everyone this year. Instead of shopping, I've been sitting around wishing I had the money for one of these jams to carry V around in. SIgh.

Dude, it is so hot today. I hate it.

This weekend was interesting, I made my first outing since moving back home and it was pretty okay. I had a total anxiety attack before leaving the house 1) because I never go out and people in general make me nervous, and 2) My friends band that was playing was sporting my ex boyfriend on lead guitar. It was totally fine though. However, I did see another old boyfriend who was very very drunk and it was very very unappealing. You know those guys in high school that are super hot and then they turn out to be bloated unhappily married tradesmen? Yep, that was him. I mean, I still consider him a friend but he's sadly mistaken if he thinks there's any 'magic' left between us. Yikes. I saw so many people I haven't seen in years though, and that was really great.

So the show was amazing. It was like a fucking oven in there but totally worth the sweat. If you are so inclined, you should check them out because they rule.

We took Violet to the beach yesterday. She's still kind of medium about it. She liked when I buried her feet in the sand and that was about it. She was pretty pissed when I put her feet in the water and spent the bulk of the time staring out at the ocean with this really contemplative look on her face. She so effing cute.
