Alive!

May the 4th was a lovely lil' holiday for this SW nerd.

Otherwise, really my life hasn't been all that interesting. Working, sleeping, doing chores, working on my cosplay, and trying to keep plugging along at my IT courses. I'm not as far along as I'd hoped to be by now, but I'm still trying!

We had a series of earthquakes where I live, the other day. That was kind of exciting.

But also, the AC at work broke last week, which means we were all toiling away in tiny, stuffy, hot rooms doing hard physical labor and sweating through our scrubs all day. I am hoping against hope that they've fixed it by the time I go in tomorrow.

Thinking about trying acupuncture. We have an in-house acupuncturist at the clinic where I work, and as an employee I'd get a really steep discount. I've heard nothing but good things and accounts from people who swear by it. Has anyone here had any experience with acupuncture? I'm severely needle-phobic and all my instincts are telling me to stay away, but I really would like to give it a shot if I can swing it.

I've only got two more visits to Disneyland before my Magic Key blacks out for the whole summer, boo. I'm gonna have to really make them count!

I also just signed up for [community profile] intoabar and am immediately anxious about it. I haven't written anything other than drabbles in a really long time.

I did acupuncture for a while. I didn't have a problem with the needles, though sometimes they got stuck into some really sore spots, but it didn't give me any relief from my pain or migraines/headache, and I stopped going.

Mine was also an herbalist, and my favorite part of the treatments was that he would burn this...pressed stick of herbs?? to gently warm the needles, and it smelled really good.
