alright, epic life update number two this month... you should all feel privileged :)
anyway, so as most of you know i've been having really bad stomach pains for almost five months now... i've been told everything from i'm pregnant (which isn't possible...) to i have stomach cancer and everything in between. well, my ears started hurting a few weeks ago and didn't stop, so i scheduled a doctors appointment (haha, that only took a few weeks, not five months...) and my ears are fine, but the doc suggested i try taking dairy products out of my died. now for those of you who know me, that might have just killed me. i drink a gallon of milk a week by myself, i love icecream, and i could probably live on cheese... i also enjoy yogurt, though not as often as the others. well, i managed to eliminate dairy from my diet for a week and it helped, much to my despair :(
mel recommended i try soy milk... i bought a lil carton of it but was terrified to try it. jeff - being the good boyfriend he is - said we'd try it together. so we ate oreos so we would be wanting milk and then drank some.
it was actually really good... so i guess i can replace my regular 2% milk with soy milk... it's better for you anyway, or so i'm told. it has more vitamin D at least, which is good since i'm always in class and haven't seen the sunshine in probably years... lol!
anyway, i went back to the doctor today because i had to get a physical for them to fill out the paperwork so that i could start classes on monday (ugh, the child development center...) well, she asked how the stomach was doing, and i told her it had helped but i still get some different kind of aches. she asked some questions and decided i probably had some kind of acid reflux. she wrote me a script for an antacid type thing to take for a few months to see if it'll clear up or if it'll be a chronic problem.
i don't know when i started being one of those sick people -- i've always been healthy, had no food/drink/medicine allergies, and now all of a sudden my allgergies/foods that disagree with me could fill a harddrive and i get all kinds of weird aches and pains...
i'm tellin' ya, after 21 it's all down hill! :( haha!
other than that, things are going well. i'm loving this week, though it's flying by. just been hanging out with jeff and doin some other stuff, and it's nice to just have a little time to relax. next week it all starts again though. i get spoiled with this week off.
also, grades have been posted for Spring semester and i got a 4.0! i've never gotten a 4.0 in my life so i'm really excited i did! that also means i'll get my lamp of knowledge because i was still a collegiate when i got my 4.0! :)
lastly, jeff and i decided that if this whole thing works out and we have a male child, we're going to name him Spencer Derek. Spencer in hopes that he is half as intelligent as THIS man, and Derek, in hopes that he is half as good looking as THIS man. Jeff is convinced that if it's our child he'll look like Spencer not Derek (considering we're both white geeks he's probably right...) but no harm in hoping right? mediocre people make beautiful people or something lol!
alright, that's all! CSI at 9 then CVS then home for last nights criminal minds and CSI NY!
