Diagnosis: Hypochondriasis

Okay, not really. I actually have something that could be serious. For one, I feel like crap because I have a cold that skipped the "cold" stage altogether and instantly became a sinus infection--which for me is not unusual, just annoying and icky. My real worry is that some of my fingertips hurt and have started to swell up (unrelated to the sinus infection, obviously). I know I didn't injure them--how could I have, when it's a few random fingers on each hand? I have no idea what could possibly be causing it--well, okay, it might be poor circulation or some sort of vitamin deficiency (lord knows I have terrible nutritional habits). What really sucks about it is that my left pinky is all swollen and hurts like heck to touch, so since I'm left-handed, I can't write, draw, or paint. What really really sucks is that my spring break just started today. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, so hopefully they'll figure out what's wrong with my hands and give me some means to fix it. (The sinus infection doesn't matter. I get them all the time, and they usually go away on their own.) Luckily I can still type okay.

This sucks.

...Wait a minute, did I just say "lord knows" somewhere in there? Huh. Religious expressions are so ingrained into this culture that even I use them, and I don't believe in God/gods. (Well, I don't deny the possibility that he/she/they could exist, but until someone shows me convincing scientific proof, I'm inclined to believe otherwise.)

Woohoo! Finally finished that collage project thingamabobber! Not gonna post another picture of it yet, because all that glue made it dry all benty-like, and I want to let it be sat on by something heavy for a few days to flatten it out again. But it's cool.

Ze flu thing is be gone! Apparently it wasn't actually the flu, because it only lasted about 2 days. Now I can play with my tablet, yay!

...Though this whole Elftown thing is so darn addicting...Not to mention the fact that I have a VERY time-consuming project that I have to finish by Thursday for my Basic Design 2 class. Hmm, methinks I'll post a picture of the work in progress. Gimme a minute while I go take one and upload it somewhere.

...Okay, here is a terrible photo of the thing:

It's a collage in complimentary colors. Basically, it's a bunch of tiny magazine bits stuck on a piece of 11x14" bristol board with a curious mixture of 1/3 water and 2/3 Elmer's glue. The design is based on a microscopic picture of the shell of a foraminifera (tiny little single-celled organism that makes a shell out of silica). I need to cover all the blank (white) space with more magazine shreds. This requires next to no thought but takes a very, very long time.

I joined Elftown yesterday, yay! This is officially my first diary entry thingy.

So. Thursday was the long-awaited arrival of my brand new Wacom tablet. Friday was the not-awaited arrival of influenza (at least, I think that's what it is). Life's funny like that.
