I always start out by saying "it's been a while since I've posted..." I just need to give up and accept that there will be no regular posts here, which is fine, as it's just a personal blog. I do like writing here, but sometimes I don't feel as if I have anything worthwhile to say, or I feel as I am repeating myself.
Today was a good day. My mother, sister, and I spent today from around 11am to after 4pm in the big shed in our backyard. My family is hoarders, we all admit it. Mom has a lot of stuff from when she was selling on eBay as well. We got rid of a lot of cardboard boxes and put the things we wanted to keep into plastic bins. We got about a third of the shed cleared out (it is huge and stuffed to the brim). I had the foresight to put the 'donate' boxes in the living room of the little house as we went along, since it is now raining (and I have a sunburn from today! Go figure.) I really am proud of how much stuff we managed to part with. It seems silly to anyone who isn't a hoarder how quickly you can get attached to inanimate objects.
The last week or so I've been trying to get my bedroom straightened out. I got all my pictures hung (including two I came across today), I put a desk in my room, which is the perfect size (though I would like to paint it eventually), and I managed to get every book I own onto the book shelves. I also bought shelf paper for the kitchen, which I thought I was going to be doing today.
Last Monday I had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with H. Pylori and the medicine they've got me on has thrown my body for a loop. I've had everything from a debilitating migraine, to slight nausea, to nausea so bad it woke me up in the middle of the night and I threw up. I'm going to stick it out, though, since I've heard the other stuff they put you on can take longer to work. Not to mention tomorrow is Sunday and it will have been a week, so only one more week taking eight pills a day (yup...four after lunch and four after dinner). The faster I'm cured, the better. And I don't have an ulcer, which is like awesome news.
Friday my family is making the trek to UC San Francisco. I am getting a workup to see if I'm healthy enough to donate a kidney to my most favorite auntie. I have to fast, so it'll be interesting since it's like a 2-3 hour car ride and I get car sick.
I'm going to go nurse my sunburn now.

I think it goes without saying that the purging binge we went on today would never have happened without you! It feels like such a weight has been lifted to know that that stuff is going to be gone, that we can all say goodbye to it. And even better, we are all in a place where we don't even want to go through what everyone else decided to get rid of!
