In less than two weeks, I have another appointment with my rheumatologist… and I have yet to get my xrays done. I know I need to get them done, but I just can’t motivate myself to go. I think part of me just doesn’t want to know if there actually is joint damage, but I’m also pretty sure my copay for xrays is $75, and I totally don’t have that kind of money all at once. I’ve been on a super tight budget and am living extremely frugally, mostly because my paychecks aren’t all that great anyway, but also because I’m trying to save for an apartment and a new computer. I know I don’t really need these things, but I’m seriously ready for my own space.

I have no idea where I was going with this post. I think I was going to say something about being a boring blogger lately, and wanting to cut my hair, and how much it sucks when good friendships go south, but I’m living in an editing- and work-induced haze lately, so I’ll leave you with this: I know I said I would never come back to Facebook, but it has come to my attention that A) a lot of you want me back on there, and B) I might have shot myself in the foot since it’s a – damn I hate admitting this — great marketing tool. I’ve been thinking about going back. (I hate myself for even thinking it, trust me.) Would you throw rotten vegetables at me for going back?

PS: Speaking of social media, Instagram and Pinterest are my new crack. My Instagram username is “elizabethbarone,” and if you’re not already on Pinterest and want an invite, let me know and I’ll shoot one your way.

Convertible

Sometimes people are convertible. Sometimes they can change. I’ve converted from an introverted, heavily depressed scared little girl to a somewhat outgoing young woman who is usually positive about the things in her life. Some people are not


I’ve decided to do one piece of stream of consciousness prose a day, using the words provided at One Word. My goal is to get myself writing at least a little every day, and to get my creative juices flowing so I can write more every day. One Word gives you 60 seconds to write something about the word they provide you with, so most likely the pieces I post will be unfinished.
