Update: still feeling pretty good. The only thing seems to be I get tired easy (which might still be a bit of sleep deprivation or not) and a headache that comes and goes. Also, some of my incisions are itching now, though that is good in a weird way, because it means I'm healing up properly.

Yesterday I saw my digestive specialist and my surgeon for a "quick" checkup each, and both gave me a clean bill of health. I put quick in quotation marks because seeing both of them ended up taking four hours, mostly spent waiting around for them. I hate how doctors overbook patients. If you really aren't fast enough, you should just schedule less people, dammit. Just because we're not doctors doesn't mean our time isn't valuable too.

And I went out shopping today, the first time I've been out of the house since the problems not to go to a doctor or my sister's house. (which I'd gone to with my parents so we could all celebrate my Dad's birthday together). My mom and I went to Barnes & Noble, where I bought a boatload of books. Which, now I'm regretting a couple of the choices a little. I picked up a lot of light/funny-sounding fantasy, just because I wanted something I could laugh at, but I forgot that most fantasy that tries to be funny really isn't, and ends up somewhere more in bad pun territory.

We also went to Best Buy, which is probably my biggest achilles heel. I can not go past their sale racks without an impulse buy or two, so I ended up with Snatch on DVD, and Modest Mouse's Good News for People Who Love Bad News. Snatch isn't quite as good as I remember, though alright. I absolutely LOVE two tracks off of the Modest Mouse CD, but don't really like the rest. Which, really gets me. How can a band make a couple of songs I love so much and nothing else? And it also bugs me, because I used to be able to test out albums beforehand by downloading stuff, and then either deleting it later or buying the album, but I can't anymore, so it's back to hit or miss again.
