First of 2006

I guess some of you are interested to here what's up in my little boring world.

I had the MRI done and it was clear. That was the one I thought could be interesting so that's good.

Last Thursday, I had the test of the infamous three hours of sleep--an EEG to test for seizure tendencies. It was a long day but the test wasn't so bad, except for the forced hyperventilation and strobe light. I did start twitching with the hyperventilation, but either the tech didn't want to say something or wasn't too concerned. At least I didn't have a seizure :-p

I've got one week of school down and things are still going fairly well there it seems. Knock on wood, but things are so very different from last year with discipline. I just need to be organized..... I blame it on lack of bookshelf space and other things. and piles of paper get so daunting to look at it. (Although I know full well it would probably only take me 2 hours to organize things.)

It's good to have our friends back in Longview and I really enjoyed the Friday night of tacos with the Toads and than a movie. and Saturday was fun with a game of BS and good hot tea from C.G. and I enjoyed myself last night after the long drive to Dallas and back by staying home and relaxing. Sorry, I was just plain tired. Ahh, the trip to Dallas *goes hunting for news of fire*

It's strange dealing with my grandfather's death. if I'm really dealing with it. I get these almost teary moments when I see teddy bears (he collected them) or other little things which connected me to him--even a bag of prunes (he made an awesome prune-apple cake) I'm glad that I have the memories.

Anyways, I think I may be making myself some tea soon and researching good eyedrops for i think allergy-itchy eyes. It's hard to know for sure, and there's a rash on my upper cheeks near my eyes. Something's irritating them.... and I'm praying that this cough that's developing isn't going to be what I had last year. Otherwise, it'll be a long month or two.

For now, that's all. I have a doctor's appointment in Houston next Monday, and I'm calling the neuro to ask about the EEG readings tomorrow. I figure it's good news if they haven't already called me.
