Also: happy birthday Staples!
Earlier, I had started up a big post, but I cut out the mopey parts. Here's what is left! :)
Not that I’m a procrastinator or anything. Because I would never write up a journal entry instead of grocery shopping or cleaning the bathroom.
Oh well, that is enough moping.
I’ve just finished a fantastic series of books. It’s called the Gryphon & Sabine series, by Nick Bantock. They’re like pop-up books for grown ups. Anyway, they’re very beautiful and full of a weird tension. There is a subsequent series, called the Morning Star series, that I’ve yet to read but am really looking forward to. The set of morning star books was only $20 at Chapters! If you’re looking for something to read that is a little off-kilter, I highly recommend.
In other news, I should be getting my new couch, dinette and coffee table this weekend. I am super looking forward to this because it means I will have more than just a computer desk in the living area. Actually, to be fair, a mysterious benefactor gifted to me as a housewarming/birthday gift a shiny new computer desk. It’s beautiful and mostly practical and I love it. So I actually have two computer desks in the living area right now. But only one chair.
Oh man!
I actually acquired a doctor yesterday. I know this is bad, but I haven’t had an actual doctor for more than 7 years, since my last one up and moved to the States. But that’s not the big part. I have finally started what will undoubtedly be the very long process of obtaining a tubal ligation.
Yeah, that’s right, I want to get fixed.
I’m sure something like this may come as more of a shock to some of you than to others, but what can I say? I hadn’t wanted to really say anything here in the past because I know I am a horrible procrastinator (I mean NOT A PROCRASTINATOR), and I didn’t want to commit myself to a plan that I wouldn’t be able to see through. (I mean timeline-wise)
So, he tried to talk me out of it out of hand, but I’ve been promised a referral (they are supposed to call me with this, I will call them tomorrow if I don’t hear from them today) and I’m on my way to my two-year goal.
Truly, my favourite part was when he was spouting off the “alternatives” and I interrupted him to say “No. I need a permanent solution to a life-long problem.”
I know this is going to be a long, difficult process. I know I’m going to bitch about all the people who will try to talk me out of it. Sorry. I’ll try to remember to keep stuff about this topic separate so you can ignore it at will. Not that you can’t do this with the rest of my ramblings, mind you. Oh, and if you fall under the "want to talk me out of it" have a looksee here first. Just so you can be original. ;)
Oh, and am I a bad person that I am looking forward to telling my parents about this… AFTER it’s done? Oh no, it’s giving me the giggles just thinking about it.
Finally:
If you’ve sent me an email of any kind in the past couple of days, I haven’t gotten it. My outlook it totally fucked right now (or my actual email, I’m not sure) and I’m really hating it. In addition, if you’ve sent me an msn I was in bed and when I went to reply you were offline.
