I feel like I've eliminated myself from the interweb ever since I contracted a virus on my work computer. To be honest, it's quite nice. I may not know what's going on in peoples' lives, or keep in touch with certain people that I should - but I guess if the internet is the only way we'll interact then it's pretty sad.
Gmail, Craigslist, CNN & Turn to 10 are my sites of choice when I need a brain break from work.
Speaking of work, my 4yr anniversary just passed. Which means I should have a review soon, with a raise - and possibly a switch to salary... Eeeep. Also, my company will be paying for me to take an advanced Photoshop or Illustrator class at RISD during the Winter or Spring session. I'm excited, yet nervous. I hate school.

Alex the Cat has been allowing me an average of only 3 hours of sleep a night for the past few months. I've been staying at John's alot, but it's only making it worse. So, yesterday I bought this stuff called "Calm Down" - anxiety medicine for kitties. I gave it to him last night & we both slept through the night, it was amazing. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I think this just might be perfect. Now to get Gwen to stopping throwing up on my rug, bed, couch, towels. : /

John is awesome. Simply put. The past couple of weeks have been pretty eye-opening. We've both unleashed some deep "secrets" we'd been keeping from eachother...that we could both tell we're coming between us. Now, it just feels like everything has been put back in place & I couldn't be happier.
He's moving into his own apartment in September & will have a year lease. The ultimate plan is for us to find a place together the following September. I'm nervous at the moment, but also very anxious for it to happen. I think waiting a year is the right thing to do. I'm terrified of ruining what we have. Aside from worrying about money/cleaning/food issues...I'm scared we'll end up getting sick of eachother, or him of me - or something! Bah, it's a year away.
I never thought I'd find someone that I just KNEW I wanted to be with. It's crazy how this happens. I can't picture myself with anyone other than him. I love it.

I've also just hit the -33lb mark. None of my clothes fit, it's great. It's taking a while, but I don't mind. I'm happy. That's all that matters.

I have a new giant tattoo on my calf. It's sore & I can't cross my leg the way I want to.

Work is making me sleepy.
