Well.

Life goes on, I suppose. I'm just not quite sure what I can do with the time.
I'm told to cook and clean, so I do. I'm getting much better at cooking, which is something of a suprise.
I can't really get a job until I come back from all the holidays and such, so I can't spend my time looking.  And just reading a book, or watching a film, or even listening to music feels so very unproductive. That said, I do cook A LOT. But people eat that... so it's productive, right? Anyhow, I'm down on my dose, so I might get BACK into weight range for dancing, and I'm not seeing Helen or Paul for around three weeks, and I'm starting to feel less like a lab rat - definitely a welcome change. I've decided to cut back on latin and ballroom (read as "run out of sufficient funds") but have got back into swing. I'd forgotten how much I loved it - I learned the Charleston (spelling?) on Tuesday. FUN STUFF.

My computer is being a dork, and is refusing to back up to DVD. GAH! It runs for an hour, and turns out a blank. I am seriously considering crying at the guys from the CCC so that they back it up for me. >.<


I visited a friend in an ED unit on Monday. The girls' reactions to their parents were so different - it was either an *ignores persistently and answers grudgingly* or *run, hug, sob* - nowhere in between. I don't think she'd recieved any visitors in a while. She spent her 18th in there. They celebrated it by making her a vegan birthday cake. A CAKE? GAH. Funnily, she didn't really appriciate it. (I do wonder how I'd make a vegan cake, though). For Christmas, I gave her (among others) a stuffed toy (baby-soft dog). Attached. I don't understand why she's there. It's not helping her, and even I can see that. She's MORE depressed. Yes, she's medically stable. No, they won't let her participate in the 'kitchen' - one of the main components of the program, because she's 'at risk'. Dammit, she's at risk because she hasn't seen her friends in months, misses familarity, and her pets.
