I have gotten a rash of friendings all of a sudden. This normally only happens after I have made some sort of major entry, which I haven't for a while.
I suspect it's due to LJ's current Writer's Block question which ends with "What is your favorite LJ rant." I think people are surfing in on links to
that old bloody vagina rant. By which I mean the first chronological rant about bloody vaginas, not a rant about old and bloody vaginas.
Anyway. New people.
Welcome! Because not everyone is an obsessive userinfo-reader like I am, have these links:
Things I assume you know about me. General rules by which we try to abide. In other news, sanctioned bloodletting has occurred. I caught the nurse in the office right as she came in from lunch, and to my happy surprise she signed me up for exactly the tests I asked for without giving me crap. They are running a complete battery of all four thyroid hormone tests, and one complete blood count with differential. I am pleased by this.
Sorry about my warp-spasm yesterday. It came on top of a whole load of shit I was juggling, and it was just like, goddammit, something else I fucked up. I'm so wonderful.
I am still really pissed at myself, but not in a destructive way, just in the way that ensures I will remember what I did, and won't fuck up again. I believe really firmly in being a strong advocate for yourself and in taking charge of one's own medical care. I mean, seriously, would you want anyone else doing it? That is one of many things I do not miss about being a child. Anyway, it's obviously going to be hard to take care of yourself if you forget to do shit on time.
I finished half the relevant entryway wall, and am going to go out presently and start on the second half. Then I will clean up the painting crap, dust, vacuum, and collect all the trash. And I am going to do it all while thinking about putting Ben Barnes in a collar and spanking his ass.
Because I can.
