New home

by Adrian J. Watts on May 22, 2013, no comments

So… last night was my first night in my new home in far-off Geelong… … I slept terribly and had awful nightmares! Sigh. I feel very uncomfortable. I have only ever lived on my own or with members of my immediate family. Even though I’ve signed a lease, and so have very clear rights, I [...]

House hunting

by Adrian J. Watts on May 4, 2013, no comments

Looking for somewhere to live sucks when you’re unwell and have only three weeks to find somewhere. All my stuff is stored at my brother’s house (but only for three weeks) and I’m sleeping on my sister’s couch (but only for three weeks) which is a bit funny, as I sold her the couch when [...]

A quick update on my health

by Adrian J. Watts on April 23, 2013, no comments

Those who follow me on Facebook will already know this, but my health has taken a very unpleasant turn in the last few days. Just to put things in perspective, though, there’s no risk of my dying or anything like that (except, perhaps, as a side effect of medication). I am just completely unable to [...]

Siiiick, more

by Adrian J. Watts on April 16, 2013, no comments

My health has taken another dive in the past four or five weeks. This isn’t too shocking; I know very well that my health will swing up and down quite wildly, possibly for months, until it gets to be consistently well. This is causing me massive problems with school (which I’m going to try to fix [...]

A literal load off

by Adrian J. Watts on April 3, 2013, no comments

I have always been extremely thin, but very tall. When I was 24, prepubescent girls could wrap their fingers around my upper arms. If I wore only a single layer of clothes, you could often see my heart beating through my shirt. Technically I was underweight, but not really. I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted [...]

Let’s… April Tiiiime!

by Adrian J. Watts on April 1, 2013, no comments

Most people who know me, even just through this blog, know that I’ve been experiencing problems with my health which have been particularly troublesome this year and which have led to some other immediate practical concerns. My health is a bit iffy-wiffy at the moment, but not so bad that I can’t try to get [...]

Faaaantastic! Or not.

by Adrian J. Watts on March 18, 2013, no comments

For those who don’t know, I have worked only one-and-a-half days so far this year. I’ve been quite ill, but in the last few days my health has improved enormously. I had already told my employer that I’d be leaving at the end of March due to school commitments, so when I went to work [...]

Today was a day

by Adrian J. Watts on March 1, 2013, no comments

The events of today were not exactly under my control. A lot happened, though. Very… eventful. I’m not going to say what happened and which things were good and which were bad; nothing has really led to anything, yet. I’ll update as that happens!

My telling silence!

by Adrian J. Watts on February 8, 2013, no comments

Yo, folks! You may have noticed a bit of a lull in posts lately. There are two reasons for this. One is that I’ve been working really hard on something very big and not doing things that I’d normally post about. The other is that sometimes life is really, really hard. I’m in the process of [...]
