Low estrogen states are always a legitimate scapegoat for inconvenient anger. I support this means of denial. ::nods::

I hope the Do Not Want doctor appt turns out better than you're expecting? Also, I hope that it is not Do Not Want because the doctor is a jerk (I always wind up taking that personally, on behalf of my chosen profession).

My cat seems to adore the fact that the laser pointer can never actually be pounced. Of course, my cat also refuses to actually kill the spider that lives in my living room, apparently on the basis that she understands it would stop moving around (thereby being entertaining), if she actually killed it. So it may just be that I have a weird cat.

Oh, are you a doctor? I actually have not yet met the doctor for the Do Not Want appointment (new insurance provider), although she has very good credentials. I don't remember what they are, but when I was picking her over the phone, they seemed impressive. :D It's what one of my friends calls the "ladytown appointment" and my first one was so uncomfortable, I kind of um, cry at them. It's kind of ridiculous. I have to like, warn the doctor it's going to happen and that it has nothing to do with her.

Your cat is really smart! My cat kills something and then sits there and pokes it like he can't figure out why it won't play with him anymore. Of course he wouldn't do anything as useful as actually killing a spider, either.

I'm a medical student. And now I want to ask you questions about your experiences with pelvic exams, but will refrain from going all med student on you. ]Go go, med student restraint] ^_^ But I do hope your exam went all right and the doctor was a good one.

Awesome! Good luck in med school! The exam went fine, thanks, and the doctor was really nice. The nurse lost points for giving me shit about being late, which wouldn't have been a big deal except that I was late because I got lost (I was walking there from work because taking the metro would have required two train changes and I'd still have to walk half the distance), and I'd already gotten shit from the receptionist, had the reschedule-or-wait conversation with the nurse, and wasn't allowed to leave to acquire a cup of water. I guess my lesson there is to not get lost.

Also, I cannot wait for Castle to be on tomorrow so I can watch tv where the regulars survive the episode.

Trust me, you'll never take this for granted again. Even now I get to the end of an NCIS episode and think, Sweet, Gibbs made it through another episode!

It's no wonder everyone in show business made an appearance at one time or another - at the rate Oz kills people off, they'd have to start importing actors!
