how did it get so busy?

not sure why things are so busy all of a sudden, but i can't say i'm complaining. finding myself less isolated, yet there are people i miss and don't get to see near as much as i'd like. summer's on it's way, and hopefully that'll lead to more socializing. the scholar has retreated, at least temporarily...

my body is out to get me, not quite sure why. a persistent ache in my right knee (and a milder one in my left) is urging me to contemplate those x-rays people keep urging me to get. a near constant barrage of headaches will hopefully abate once the new hard drive is in, though i'm trying not to use my computer excessively (the high-pitched whine isn't really noticeable unless it's quiet in the apartment, but after an hour or two, the headaches start...) and i've noticed that my backache seems to be radiating out from a matched pair of points in my lower back that, to my entirely untrained mind, might possibly be my kidneys. throw in the rollercoaster emotions (making me wonder if my thyroid meds are off AGAIN), and it makes me quite reluctant to move.

planning, planning, and more planning. too much at once and my head'll explode, so i'm taking it one step at a time. trying to figure out the convoluted intentions behind my parents' facade is always fun. and while i'm still a bit pissed at my dad for being so entirely unenthusiastic, my mom playing the money card is a likely culprit. it's amazing how she manages to screw things up in so awkward a fashion...

busy weekend ahead, what with X-Men and the garage sale. here's hoping my family doesn't drive me stark raving mad.
