Pinball machine in my head

Ah, the joy of an MRI.
Hadn't had one in more than a year, but given my recent inability to walk, see, or use one of my hands, it seemed about time.
Nothing terribly new thus far, of course, I won't get the results for a bit.
However, good gravy, boy does it suck to have to take out piercings and put them back in after a three hour spell. Lots of alcohol swabs.
Not to mention me, with my tendency towards giddiness, giggling when the machine sounded particularly pinball-machine-esque. Yeah, didn't exactly speed up the process.

Ah well. Assuming the worst. Hoping for the best. The body hasn't exactly been cooperating lately so I don't have the greatest expectations this time around.

Anyway, here's hoping. It's not like I have any specific goals, but things are finally happening for people in my family that I'd like to see, so I'd like to be around for them.

My Halloween

That's what I tend to call New Years.
It's the one day of the year that I don't dress like the butchest straight chick I know.

So, complete with contacts, skirt, unsensible shoes and (gasp!) makeup, I made my way to a nearby bar to hang out with some friends and ring in the new year.

All in all a pretty good night. Drank far too much - go figure - this is what happens when you pay forty bucks to drink for five hours.

Also made the final move in a little dance I'd been doing with one of the regulars that I hang out with. Not a bad night. I mean really, who doesn't like to start the new year off by getting laid, right? Although it did make for one of the longer walks of shame I've made in recent years, especially considering it had snowed, it was now 10AM and I was still dressed up, if a little disheveled. Ah well, the price you pay.

What else. Well, did make it to Massachusetts for the holidays to see family, so that went well enough. One of the first times in several years that there was a lot of snow on the ground. Extremely picturesque and time with the family was pretty enjoyable. Not to mention I made it through the holidays without gaining weight. Actually, I weigh ten pounds less than I did at Halloween so progress is being made. It's a bonus that it's chilly out and I've been subsisting on soups - comforting yet low fat.

That's about it for me.
I know I haven't been posting lately but really, there hasn't been that much to post about. Not to mention I still can't see very well so it's not the easiest thing to sit and try to type accurately.
Don't know when I'll be back, but if nothing else, I have my blogger account to I can comment at other sites, which one day I'll get around to doing as well.
