Xie Reborn Finished

I am a happy homo. Xie Reborn has been finished and is now up at Renderosity, PoserPros and Renderotica. I've bought a very cheap but apparently quite fun game to play with BishonenHideto, called Empire: The Middle Kingdom. I'm hoping it'll arrive today, but since it was shipped on MONDAY, I doubt it, though by Wednesday, it should be here. I hope. Maybe Thursday.

Sadly, I've not lost any weight. I'm at 205 and seem to be stuck. Still, 205 is better than 210, which I was this time last year. It'd help if I actually enjoyed salads.

My sciatica is almost gone, and I should be able to start exercising again. My constant working out was causing the problem to get worse, rather than better. I need to be careful stretching, but it should help, now.

Got a new CD the other day, which I love, Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield, I'd highly recommend.

Money's coming in a bit better again, and I seem to be over the worst of my artistic slump, which makes my customer Tracy very happy, because he's going to get more pr0n for his money.

I've been in a surprisingly good mood for the last few weeks, save a little sniffly bout when a really sad song came on that got me thinking about my father.

Had an amusing incident at a Mexican resteraunt where I thought maybe the waiter was hitting on me. He's married, so either way... but it was still a bit of a self confidence booster to be noticed.

I've slipped back into my comfortable clothes. Clothes are a bit expensive, so I can't really afford to go out and get lots of new stuff ATM, though I'd desperately love one of those club shirts, with a nice higher collar, like, past my collar bone.

Planning another trip to Toronto in either October or November, which means saving up and working hard. My aunt's moving in September, so it'll be easy to get the money, because she has this NEED to pay me to help, even though I don't mind doing it for free, or for lunch at a resteraunt. The only time she needs to pay me as far as I'm concerned is when it's an overnight thing, like dogsitting, and even then only because I lose a lot of sleep when I babysit her dog. Still, I won't argue with her about it. I'll be carrying a lot of stuff, after all.

On the plus side, exercise! :D

I'm looking forward to her house being finished, though. It's an Ashley home, three bedroom, HUGE kitchen with a breakfast nook, three bathrooms, a big partially finished basement, a big living room, nice garage... Hell, her master bedroom closet is almost as big as my bedroom in Chillicothe was, and bigger than the one I had in Pataskala, which was just big enough for a twin sized bunk bed, a dresser and a toy chest. Barely had room to walk around!

She helped us as much as she could when we moved, so we're all pitching in to help her. She can't carry a lot, and well... My aunt is a very heavy woman. She's been heavy for as long as I can remember. She lost a lot right before the accident that left her bedridden for months and killed her husband, my Uncle, and she put it back on. Now she's lost 30 lbs and is still losing. Go weightwatchers!

My cousin is coming back up to help, hopefully it won't be a repeat of last time's freaking insanity on mom's part. She and my aunt have been competing since they were little kids. They need to freaking knock it off, they're in their fifties! Still, I'm lucky to be from a family of such strong willed women. It makes me stubborn, even though I'm not a woman. :)
