Today I ended up falling asleep on my floor twice. The first time was this afternoon. I laid down because my stomach was hurting and for some reason laying on the floor makes me feel better. Anyway the next thing I know is it is an hour later and my arm is covered in drool. Then just recently I was laying on the floor to be comfy while I watched Iron Chef Japan. I missed some parts but I saw the verdict and the special announcement. Maybe I am just catching up with all the sleep I am not getting with my medicine.

I got my Xanga True badge today. All these years of struggling....ok maybe not so much of a struggle but I found it strange that being such a long time member that I didn't get it to start with but oh well you have to work for stuff although I have no clue what this does for me. I was sort of shocked about the application. I had to write an essay and in true teacher form I wrote an actual essay with a thesis. I wish I would have saved it. I have a feeling that they didn't even read it and just looked at the length and said, "What the hell, give it to him."

I was thinking of trying to get to the Renaissance Fair in Shakopee for old times sake but I realized I have no place to stay up there. All my rowdy friends have moved out of that area or have settled down with their wives and have had kids. I also had to pay for hotel rooms for this weekend for my family's trip to Illinois. I guess one trip is good enough this summer although it would have been fun to be a complete nerd again at Ren Fair.

I am going to the doctor tomorrow. I'm scared. Honestly, I am petrified. The numerous symptoms I have could be some serious things. My first regular doctor didn't realize I was sick when my dad saw her to get some refills for his medicines. The new doctor I have been seeing is a straight shooter and some of the things he wants to rule out are pretty scary to even think that I may have...leukemia...colon cancer...rabies...a lot of heavy things on my mind so I guess I need some motivation. Oddly, these things actually do not motivate me but they take my mind off the things that are bothering me and give me a smile.
