So I'm changing who I am...cause what I am's not good

I swear I'm still better at posting regularly than Dave! Ummm...but apparently I also have nothing to say. Shannon's parents got her a lawnmower for her birthday because we are responsible for the yard. Which kind of sucks, but is also good, since that means the landlord doesn't care if Shannon feels like planting flowers over every inch of it. Now, I think you all know I have never mowed a lawn before. I have two brothers, so it was never necessary. My mom sometimes would try to convince me by telling us about how she loved to split mowing duties with her brother when they were kids, but I was too smart for that. Anyway, Shannon's mower is completely people-powered. It is small and light, so we can store it in the dungeon without killing ourselves. So, I tried it for a few minutes. It was a little bit fun and probably a lot good for your arms. And now there is less danger of losing Kazoo in the grass. Also, we have one buttercup blooming! The rest of them are kind of straggling. But it's going to be so pretty. And Shannon bought a ton more plants and seeds to plant, so that will be even prettier.

Kazoo has spring fever, so he has been crazy. I think I have spring fever too. I really want to go outside. Which is rather unlike me, as it is hard work to remain this pale. But I was outside this morning and saw a bee, which helped me remember part of why I do not like the outdoors. Once, I was seeing this therapist (KWC payed for students to go to one for like 6 sessions per problem or something) and he told me that I have seasonal affective disorder, but I was like, dude, I really don't go outside and get any vitamin D in the summer either. Really, truly, I do not-how else would I continue to glow in the dark like this? He seemed skeptical. But I don't think I really have SAD. Just so you know, I did not even go back for a second session(he also told me I had issues with my mother. Duh! I had known that for years, Sherlock!). Speaking of vitamins (and my mom), my mom bought me some vitamins that are for women. It's freaking four pills a day. That's not really a problem, because for a while I was taking 6 pills a day, but four vitamins a day? That seems like a lot. But there's a fish oil one and biotin and calcium and a daily multi. So I'm trying it. Fish oil (Omega 3s) is supposed to help with migraines and since as of tomorrow I will have been going strong for four weeks with this migraine, I am willing to try. I am seeing the neurologist on Monday though, so that may be helpful also. It's just kind of ebbing and flowing. Like right now it's not too bad, but this morning I thought my head was going to explode. It just really gets to you after a while and makes you cranky all the time, even when it doesn't hurt a lot(note-this is not the first time I've ever had a migraine daily for four weeks, but it has been a long time since I've had this much trouble with my head). I've gotten ridiculously weepy and way too empathetic. So hopefully either the fish oil or the doctor, or some combination thereof, can assist me soon.

I hope you feel better soon, and have fun with the lawn mowing. I almost typed moaning. I wonder what that means?
