I'm glad I took today off as well. I am feeling slightly better. My throat doesn't hurt as much, and I have a lot more energy. I hate when you get sick and can't take all the time off you need to recover. I asked for the two days, knowing that I had two days off after that, and I'd been sick already for two days. I should be fine when I go back to work on Monday. Mark still says I'm faking, but he knows I'm not.
I've actually gotten some stuff done today. I did a load of washing, which isn't much considering there is more to do. I also looked up my human biology assessment. It's due in on the 5th of April. All it is is 40 multiple choice questions. We can access the assessment as many times as we like and for as long as we like until it is due. Basically we can do like two questions a day and then just submit it when we've done all of them. I love doing first year subjects. I love doing first year exams and assessments. I love things that are open book. I'm going to get 100% in this. Well at least I better, or else there's got to be something wrong with my reading skills! I checked out my social psychology assessment as well today. A couple of weeks ago we had a prac due where all we had to do was make some estimations on our own IQ. The professer in charge of this unit then gathers all that data and forms our assessment from it. As far as I can tell it's kind of like a knowledge, comprehension thing, where she gives us an incomplete lab report and we just fill in the blanks. It sounds easy enough. It comes online today, but I haven't been to look at it yet. I think it is also due on April 5th.
I've done a whole lot of study today as well. Human biology, module two, cardiovascular system. There are lots of terms in this chapter that I have heard so many times but not understood. That's what happens when you watch a lot of medical dramas I guess. Now I'm a little bit more educated. It's pretty interesting. At the moment I'm definately thinking that I took the wrong path with psychology, that I should have gotten into medicine or some sort of science instead. I love psych, but it doesn't excite me as much as medical stuff does. I didn't get the mark to get into any of the medical courses anyway. I don't know how I feel about that. Technically I didn't get the mark to get into psych either, but I could switch to that from arts if I did the first year subjects. There was no possible way to switch from arts to medicine. And I couldn't do medicine externally. Medicine is something that I would love to go back to uni and do after I graduate from psych. If only I could study forever. I probably would if it didn't cost so damn much. I think for me, medical stuff will be more of a hobby. I know, that makes me sound like such a nerd. I like reading about it, and learning about it, and I'll probably buy more medical books than psych books in the end. I have that huge Scientifica book that Mark got me for my birthday that I'm yet to start reading. Yes, I think I am planning on being a nerd for the rest of my life.
Mark forgot to bring home pineapple juice for me after work today. I dont' want to go for a walk up there and get it because I'm supposed to be working right now. I know that no one could contest it, with me having a doctor's certificate, but they get pretty annoyed if you call in sick and then go shopping. My throat is better, but it still hurts to swallow. He's sleeping at the moment, so I'll send him up after his nap.
I think Azaria might still be coming over tonight. I've tried to warn Mark that sex with a yeast infection is a bad idea, but he doesn't seem to be listening to me. Part of me thinks that letting them have sex with each other and increasing the possibility of one or both of them getting reinfected would be a nice little "I told you so". But then, it's been a while since I have had sex with Mark, and I don't want him to be out of action again. I don't get very sexual a lot of the time, but all this them having sex and me possibly getting back with Amy and copious amounts of lesbian porn just because I'm bored and not actually being able to have sex because I have had thrush and now Mark has thrush, and well, I just want to have sex damnit. My sex drive has also been increasing lately because I really do think I am starting to be less depressed. I am getting better, happier. Things are working now. Now the only things that are screwing with my sex drive are my contraceptive pill and my anti-depressants. I posted once on vaginapagina about the medications and sex drive, and a lot of replies said that some anti-depressant called something like welbrutin didn't really screw up sex drive that much. I'm yet to ask my doctor about it, but I'm thinking about it. I'm also thinking that I might go off the pill soon, and look for other forms of contraception. I have no idea what though.
Anyway, that was a bit of a tangent. Azaria might be coming around. Mark said something about them not having sex, that sex wasn't planned or something. I don't particularly want them hanging out and doing all the couple things like hugging and kissing and all that because that will bring them closer, and that's not what we all want here. He said maybe they could dry hump, which I've never understood. Or she could give him head, which I said she wouldn't do anyway because that could possibly reinfect her with thrush. They don't really get it but anything sexual when you have a yeast infection is a bad idea. I wish they'd get that.
I was nice to Azaria last night when she told us she had thrush. I did laugh though. I had to. I told Mark about why I had to laugh and he told me I was a bitch. Anyway, last night she came around and I gave her the info about it and lent her a tube of relief cream that I had, even though you're not supposed to do that. It was 10pm and she was desperate. And I know how bad it can feel. I suggested tea tree oil, but they're still house sitting and there was none out there. I told her to go to the chemist today and what to ask for. I told her to get Diflucan, only because it works for me, and there's too many creams I've tried that I can't remember names for. I prefer Diflucan because it's not a yuk treatment. I sent her a link to the VaginaPagina page on yeast infections for her to read when she got online next so that she'd know more about it. I share VaginaPagina with everyone, because it truly is awesome. I'm sure some people think I'm crazy, but in reality, I'm just comfortable with talking about my vagina. I also told Azaria to eat yogurt regularly as a preventative measure, to help reduce the likelihood of getting another yeast infection. In a way, she got thrush because I had thrush, so I helped her out. She would have been so lost without me, she had no idea what was going on.
I have this feeling that if Azaria and Mark do have sex tonight, they won't reinfect each other for some reason. Probably just because I've been going on about how it could happen. I don't think Mark has told Azaria what I've told him though, and I couldn't be bothered texting her and telling her that she shouldn't have sex. I'm sure she'll probably misconstruct it as me trying to get her to stay away even though I said it was fine.
Before, Mark and I were talking about sex, and how I did want to have sex with him but can't because he has thrush and I've just gotten over it and I do not want it back. And how if he reinfects himself he'll be out longer and that'll suck for me. He jokingly told me to go find someone to have sex with. I don't have anyone. I can't pick up girls, and there seems to be a lack of them here. If Melissa was still in town I'd definately go and fuck her. If Amy had decided what she wanted to do I'd go see her too. But at the moment I have zero girl sex possibilities. I joked and asked him if I could sleep with a guy, and he kind of reluctantly, though still jokingly, agreed. He wants that one day. He wants to not be so jealous so that I can sleep with other men. He wants to try it at least once. In my whole five years of dating him (five years in like two weeks) there's been something like three or four boys that I've shown interest in. The only one anyone knows about is Adam, because he is the only one I've actually thought about having sex with. And that was a weird moment! Right now I don't want to have sex with anyone else though, I want to have sex with him. But oh well, doesn't look like that will be the case for a little while longer yet.
