On being awake and busy

soulstarWell thank feck for that: I seem to be sleeping again. Only about four hours on Wed/Thurs and Thurs/Fri nights, and it's been a bit all over the place since then, but I feel like I've slept rather than just having dozed. Plus, I woke up about half an hour before my alarm was due to go off on Thursday, so I got to my Creative Writing course with no problems. And wheeee, it was excellent! I'm all enthused. So much so that I've been poking around the Sussex uni website and looking at the related degree course(s). I do want to get mine finished one day, after all, and this course can count towards degree study. So there's something to possibly aim for. I also started a digital photography class yesterday - this one is purely for fun. And fun it was, so that works out well. If I can manage to get into a routine with sleeping properly at night, getting up and going to either one of those two courses or to the gym (or pilates class) in the morning most days, I'll be very happy. The idea being that that gets me going and motivated, and I'll get other stuff done in the afternoon.
However, I do still need to ring the clinic - my blood tests came back "OK" (found that out when I went to see my GP today to get a thing signed for my bus pass, and about my ouchy (stupid car accident) back), which means that I had the correct levels of meds showing. But I've still been manic. So I guess I need to get back to them about that. I hope it won't mean new / more meds. Not since I've just got started with the getting out and about and doing interesting stuff again. However, I've got an appointment coming up for a self-management / coping strategy thing, so maybe that will help me head this sort of thing off earlier next time. Because damnit, I've been doing my best! But it's not quite working. Yet.
Anyway, I might be offline for a few days now - hopefully not, but I always say that, and then I always am. *g* More upgrades to be done. This time it should be simple enough - I'm just reformatting the C:\ drive and reinstalling Windows. Actually, I'm installing a newer version, because I forgot to get the upgrade along with all the hardware upgrades, and now it refuses to update and I'm getting the blue screen of DETHHHH at least twice a day. Argh! Oh, and copying CDs is like pulling teeth, so sorry you guys who I said I'd send some stuff. Luckily burning from my harddrive is not so much of a problem, so I can at least back up everything. And it bloody well will be everything this time. Just in case. Because 'should be simple' and real life don't always meet ;-)
And finally, since I'm sort of back doing studying things, and I'm just too impatient to wait (How incredibly appropriate it is too. Bwahah!):

BSOD? Dear Lord, what version of Windows are you on? ::has had XP for almost three years and has never had the BSOD even once::
Also, I love your blogging degree. Hee!

Oh, it's XP... and it was fine before I had the new system setup, but it was the earliest available version of XP and because it wouldn't update after my hardware upgrade, it was reeeeeeeally unstable. Or at least, that's what I'm hoping - now I've got SP2 installed, so we shall see what happens. If I still have problems, then it's the harddrive.
It's awesome! And so true! Bwahahah!
Haha!
