Today I bought my first piece of honest-to-god, real, non-Ikea furniture. I feel like such an...adult. Eep. =) Since I'm hosting at least part of my family for Thanksgiving, the general "we should someday get a dining room table" turned into "we have to get a dining room table Right Now". We didn't however have the 6 weeks to wait to get it factory stained, so now I've got a Project in addition to a dining room table.

The supplements and such seem to be working; I'm not collapsed into a big weepy ball anymore and I actually feel like I have the energy levels to get up and do some of the stuff I have to do. Let's see how long this lasts; I'm betting right up until it starts raining this week.

I wish I could selectively zap memories from long-term storage. I can't remember good things for very long, but I'm astoundingly good at remembering humiliating incidents in my past from the time I was 5 or so. I seem to currently be stuck in one of those phases where all kinds of things bring up embarrassing memories. Wish I could take the old brain in for a tune-up.

urf?

Well, I think there's an interesting mix of truth here. =)

Cathy
Your first name of Cathy has made you a friendly, approachable, and generous person. Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be blunt and sarcastic. As you are naturally talkative, you find it easy to meet and make friends with many people. This name inclines you to be sympathetic and generous to those in difficult or unfortunate circumstances. You can be firm, positive, and independent in your own ideas and in reaching your own decisions, yet when it comes to taking action or following things through to completion, you often need encouragement. You respond quickly to kind words or any appreciation shown you. There are artistic, creative abilities in this name that you could express through music or singing, or, in a practical way, through sewing or interior decorating. You enjoy freedom from monotony and are stimulated by unexpected opportunities for meeting people, entertaining, or pursuing activities of a carefree nature. In your work, you find it difficult to be neat and orderly. You rarely plan things ahead of time, or follow a routine. Emotion and feeling, the desire to be carefree, friendly, and happy, are the driving forces in your being, rather than shrewdness, ambition, and material success. You could experience headaches, or problems with your teeth, ears, eyes, or sinuses. Health weaknesses relative to the functioning of the liver could appear.

Catherine
Your name of Catherine makes you easy-going and refined, but detracts from your physical vitality. You desire all the finer things in life--lovely clothes, home, furniture, and environment. However, procrastination is your worst enemy, and you find yourself lacking the ambition to make your dreams a reality. People are inclined to take advantage of your sympathetic, tractable nature. You naturally attract people with problems who seek your understanding and advice. You can give good advice although it is unlikely that you would follow it yourself. You would be most successful in situations where you can use your skills in diplomacy in handling people, but where you are not under pressure or required to carry responsibility and make decisions. It is difficult for you to be individual and make your own decisions, for you lack self-confidence. Your desire for sweet, rich foods could cause overweight, circulatory problems, or weakness in the kidneys.
