What have I been up to lately?

I was at the doctor recently. In addition to getting some antibiotics and a decongestant for a chest infection thing I had going on (which is, thankfully, mostly gone) I also found out new numbers! Which are, in comparison to how things were going, pretty much awesome. My cd4 percentage was the biggest shock. Cd4 now officially up to 305 (19%). Viral load still undetectable. I was told that if by my next set of labs my cd4 is still over 300 I won't have to continue with the Bactrim, which will be nice. One less medication is one less medication, even though I'm taking Atripla now I still feel like I'm taking infinity different things. Thank you HIV, asthma, tranny-ness and thyroid condition (the condition being that I don't have one, of course).

I've been keeping myself busy with school, my crochet business thingie (still taking orders, wink wink, nudge nudge) and my overly sensitive but completely endearing boyfriend. Oh - and reading. Matty made me curious about HP Lovecraft so I'm reading an anthology of his stories right now, and so far I'm really enjoying them. I just finished the book that inspired the movie The Ring - it was so coooool, omg. I can't wait to read the rest in the series. Why am I so into horror?

I scheduled my appointment to visit the school I was accepted into for this upcoming August. I'll be there on the 29th of this month for a tour, and I'm really nervous. They still don't know I'm trans or gay, and I have a feeling things may get a bit awkward before they're all settled, but I'm confident it'll all work out.

I'll be a secondary education - english major so um. I'll be teaching your children in the not so distant future. Fear for their minds.
