Cause and effect

bunnyloveIt really is spring now. All the trees and plants are starting to bud and the snails are coming out. Snail season is upon us, or at least in my backyard. The apple tree is starting to bud again, which is good because mum and I were worried it was dead.
Haven't really been in the updating mood as of late, I'm just feeling kind meh. It probably has to do with my moods as of late. I've only been on my larger does of meds for about a week and a half, so it still needs time to fully kick in. I'm not enjoying work as much as I used to. Well, work is work, but I used to not mind going, but lately it's like 'I'm really not in the spirit of things and don't want to be here'. What I really need is a vacation. It's been almost 2 years and it is surprising how not having time off to just bugger around without having to do anything effects you. Not being able to go to the cabin last year really took effect. I just hope that when we do go up there this year it's still standing.
It seems like I may be going back to school real soon. I've said it before, but there are some summer courses I can take ect. to help me get my full graduation credits. I just having to pick which to do first then see about work and what to do about that.
I finished watching up to the episode "Trash" in Firefly. I'm really enjoying what there is of it (Mal's ass anyone?), just too bad they had to take it off the air. Of course if I had watched it when it first came on in 2002 it may have not been cancelled. Ok, it probably would have. All I know is that when I get my tax return (providing there's enough that I can spare on myself) I'm buying my own Firefly set, because I really don't want to give G his DVD's back.
Why is NCIS old this week? *pout* Ah, at least I get to see Tony in a suit. *G*
The past few of weeks I haven't gotten a solid's night sleep. I keep having this fuzzy white alarm clock bat my nose, bite my arm, roll on my face. Why? She wants her num num's, or at least that's what get's her to leave me alone. I don't get it. We feed her enough food, maybe she's having her last growth spurt, but at two and a half? I just want to sleep a solid night! MAKE HER STOP!!!
Here is photographic evidence of the culprit. Eowyn likes to sit there when I read or sometimes I wake up with her on my face. Makes things hard to breathe.
Some of you may remember the dragonfly's I have hanging in my room. Well apparently Ikea has them in pink now. Swedish bastards, now I have to go and get a pink set.
Sunday mum and I went to my aunts for Birthday/Easter dinner. Today is my Grandma's 89th birthday and tomorrow is my uncles 65th. It was really surprising to see how much my grandma has deteriorated over the past few months. She did just have the flu, but she's just so different now that it makes me sad to see. The past 5 years for her have been particularly bad and now she's confined to a wheelchair, but she just doesn't have much zest any more. It could be all the drugs they have her on right now, so there is the possibility that she was just out of it.
My aunt gave my mum a bag of food to take home as well. Poor mum almost lost it. The end/beginning of the month is always the hardest for us because we have shell over all of our money for rent, so we have no money for food, gas or whatever for 2 weeks. My dad was also kind enough to give us a gift card to Safeway so we were able to get some groceries. I just hope this cycle of having next to nothing stops. It's hard taking money/food/whatever from others. It helps, but it also makes you feel a bit like a failure in life.

Thirdly, I hope things get better for you and your mum soon. That classes work out for you, that your new dosage kicks in and is effective, and that you get a vacation, and that everything in general starts improving. I'm praying for ya, hun. ***HUGGLES***

Oh, and to reply to your previous comment about me taking you off my FL, I did a FL clean out a while back of everyone who hadn't really been around LJ for awhile, so I didn't think they'd be updating again, but I'll be more than happy to add you back again if you'd like me to. :)
