Mass Effect, exercise, and -the- appointment
Mass Effect is amazing. I can't say how I like it compared to Dragon Age - it's so different. It's on the xbox, has a completely different combat system (which I prefer in 1, but am slowly getting used to in 2) and has characters that are written just as well as DA:O. The ME universe is amazing and very thorough, and the whole thing has me a bit enraptured. I finished a renegade vanguard (biotic/soldier) fem!Shepard playthrough on ME, and am continuing, same class, same alignment for ME2. So far lack of biotic abilities is frustrating (oh warp, how I miss you so!), but overall, it's intriguing. And I have Garrus back. Jens, I knows you didn't get the Garrus love, but I so, so do. Though I'm already planning a Paragon playthrough for Thane. And another undetermined one for Liara. The choices!
Exercise was kind of side-lined this week with impressively shitty weather. Gusts up to 70 mph, rain coming in sideways, and crap flying everywhere. We've still been eating really well, though, and I've lost about 5 pounds at this point. We'll see how next week goes - hopefully more exercise! It's done it's job so far - still feeling well and Rob's been great helping with dinner. Tonight is pork loin stuffed with apricots, cranberries and ginger that have been soaked in wine and topped with almonds. Red peppers tossed with green beans and a salad for the side. Nom!
And finally, tomorrow I get the IUD. I'm a bit nervous, but have a (yes, as in singular) pain-pill to take, should I need it. And Rob will be there with me, so I'm pretty sure I can handle it unless it hurts more than it did when they numbed up my foot. If that's the case, I may crawl away and die and/or strangle someone. :D
