  Between feeling like I have a sunburn and getting dizzy whenever I turn my head, Im not feeling all that terrific today.
Or the past few days. Serves me right for eating burritos; I always catch whatever the cook is fighting off. Ugh, enough already. Oh, I know whats wrong. Im coming down off of one of my five meds. I ran out; they refused to renew my script without seeing a doc. Earliest appointment, of course, isnt until the first week of July. So Im pulling a cold turkey maneuver with a drug that comes in a rather sizable bottle with stickers all over it warning of such drastic changes to their intake.
No wonder I feel muted and vaguely ill. Yet I had another incredibly productive day. Spent two hours crafting my cover letter for the publishing job. I didnt realize until now that I needed one. How do you find these things out ahead of time? My resume looks much better too however devoid of experience. All Im really doing is proving that Ive worked for long spells at all my jobs. No references included yet either.
I heard these things are asked for later on. Like a writing sample. That I also worked to prepare today. I went through my best papers with another pass with a red pen. Papers I earned As on but still could use some tweeking. That fabulous paper on Years of Laura Diaz only exists in hard copy. So my next task today is to transcribe it back into a document.
Yes, I save everything. But no, I dont backup, and when the puter crashed way back when, I lost a lot. Today, I also finished another paper to rectify my incompletes. I now only have one paper and one exam to take before Im finished with CSUSM. Im not even going to think about either until tomorrow. Ive done enough today. My ankle is swollen and angry just from sitting here The damned cat still wont eat  even the super expensive food that he used to wolf down.
I think hes on his way out. He is, after all, nine years old. Id feel bad about it, but it seems like he deserves the break. He doesnt keep himself looking good anymore either. His hair has cowlicks all over his bony body. I try to comfort him, but he still has the energy to run off. I know how he feels.
