Thyroiditis

God Damn. Can life ever get easy? Or at least less complicated?
So, yeah- went to the doctor's several weeks ago- baby (or lack there of stuff).
Got a call that my thyroid seemed off. Went to see my regular doctor. Got a referal to an endocronologist for OCTOBER???!!! So yeah, went on with my normal life. Started to get a sore throat this past weekend. Ignored it. Keep having it. Called the doctor on Tuesday. Went in. Found out that I have Thyroiditis. And the doctor told me that there were 3 possible causes:
1. Autoamune response (solution: ???)
2. Infected nodule (solution: remove nodule)
3. Thyroid Cancer (solution: WTF???)

So- here I am. Waiting. Suppose to have a scan of my thyroid soon (doctor said in the next few weeks)... got the scheduled date today- August 23???? Um. No. Just talked to the doctor's office. Hopefully it will all be fixed very, very soon. I am sick of feeling like I have strep throat.

My Review of TICKLE ME FREUD

Originally submitted at UncommonGoods

Tickle Freud and he lets his suppressed laughter burst out in a giant Freudian slip of hilarity. In fact his whole body has been known to shake in the throes of scarcely controllable laughter. A little psychoanalysis will reveal that he is particularly ticklish toward his feet. Imported. click he...

Thoughts induced by a hangover.

It constantly amazes me that I am actually an adult. I mean, I have a husband, a house, a car, and a job- and if all works out eventully a child. I mean, who would allow ME to raise a child? I don't feel like I am old enough or mature enough, or level-minded enough to raise a kid. Some days, okay most days, I feel scarcely older than a child. Then life hits me and I realize that I am an adult. I do take charge of problems and solve them. I don't really know what to do with myself these days however. So many of these days pass and I don't really like myself. I am constantly disapointed in myself- constantly at odds with who I am and what the world sees of me. I question myself- am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Am I a good friend? Thin enough? Kind enough? Sexy enough? Not a bitch, brat, spoiled, or pissy? I wonder if sometimes the reason I am not getting pregnant is because of something I did? Or said? or thought? Is it because that omnicient being "up there" doesn't want me to have kids? Or is it just that I havn't given it enough time... that time will heal all wounds? Damn that Catholic Guilt crap.

The update

Good God- When life gets busy it seems the first thing to go is your own interests and fun.
Where to start??? Well since I last wrote we moved. We are now living with Grandma. It's a trip. She is sweet, but at times it can drive a person slightly batty. We are actually having a housewarming- good god we survived another year of married life- party. Come if you know me in real life. July 14th. Good times.
My dad had surgery on his eye and has officially retired. I wish my mom all the luck in the world (I guess we can all understand why she says she is working for at least another 5 years!!!).

Oh and the scary (to me) news- I have to go to see a RE because it looks like I am not ovulating. I guess that puts a crimp in the getting pregnant shit huh? It is hard- I am far to much of a control freak and perfectionist for this. So far I have stayed healthy- I'm eating... in fact perhaps too well... lots of shit and junk. It makes me feel better. Ironic isn't it- the first time the recoving anorexic solves her control issues with candy. Hmmmm.... wonder what the behavioral therapist would think of that?

Guess I should go to bed. Not to tired. Actually quite anxious over the appointment tomorrow. Not happy that C can't come with me. Damn jobs. They seem to get in the way of everything!!!

People Suck

People suck. There, I've said it. I've admitted it. Sometimes, People Just Suck. Seeing it written that way, in capital letters, kind of makes it seem better somehow. And in case anyone mistakes what I am saying... some people, sometimes, suck (and I am not meaning in any GOOD way).

Now that I have vented- have a good night.

Open Letter to my loved ones

An Open Letter to my Loved Ones,

Today, upon learning the sad news that Brad Delp's untimely passing was infact, Suicide - I wanted to remind everyone I love that no matter when, no matter what, no matter why, I am always available for you to call if you ever, for any reason, need me. (Yes, I am sorry for the run on sentence- Mom always tells me I miss use commas!). My family and friends are important to me. If you are ever, EVER thinking about suicide (and sadly, I bet most of us have at some point)- call me. If you can't call me, call someone. Or go to the ER and tell them. Tell someone. The sadness that you leave behind after you die is horrible. (Great, and now I have probably guilted several people who want to die. Great going....). Believe me, if you need me, no matter what, I am here. I don't care if I am at work- call. If I am on vacation- call. If I am in labor--- well you can try calling but I will probably hand the phone to c :)....

Leaving this somber topic... JUST REMEMBER CALL ME!

Love,
Me
