( recap time )
tl;dr: i got engaged to sabio! and adopted a cat! and my life is pretty fucking awesome.

Have a blurry pig.

i have a work laptop...so now when i work crazy overtime, i can at least go home and eat something.

other than that i am trying to stay away from the computer, because now i have fun stabby jaw pain in addition to my usual shoulder/neck/wrist fun, and i'm not even sure who to start seeing about that. my doctor said to see my dentist but a) i'm confused about how i am supposed to do that when opening my mouth that wide is not really going to happen and b) according to The Internets, the dental approach to such things is purely orthodontical (also c) i hate and despise dentists). i already spent ten years with braces (not that you can tell now) so my initial reaction is HELL FUCKING NO, i don't really want to be in more pain right now thx, and anyway I doubt I could afford it/have other things to spend money on. besides - i've had this jaw layout for a very long time, i strongly doubt that it suddenly decided to cause problems in ways that somehow have nothing to do with my pre-existing shoulder/neck drama. so i figure starting with that would be best, and then maybe at least something will feel better.

at least after a week of consciously trying very hard to relax my jaw, it's stopped shooting through my shoulder and arm and now just hurts when i try to open it. also, it's been very hot so having an excuse to cover myself in icepacks is wonderful.

maybe i should just go see dan's super awesome chiropractor, even though he doesn't take my insurance (i do have health insurance, just not dental) and wrote a self-published philosophy book involving the fibonacci sequence.

other than that things are good... i have new ikea furniture and am still ridiculously smitten with David. and i finally posted a bunch of pigtures & pictures on the flickr. have some fauxhawk.
