luna_manarLivejournal is broken, so posting nonsense here.
~I finally got talked into watching My Little Pony. It's good. I still don't "get" the 'Brony thing, but cool. It gave me an excuse to hook up one of our more underpowered computers to the TV in the bedroom to use as a media machine. Works nicely.
~We rearranged the entire bedroom, and finally have it set up in a configuration I like. Owen likes it too. I don't have the sun shooting laz0rs through the window blind slats into my eyes every morning, and that makes me decidedly less cranky.
~My body hates me. I still need to find a new doctor. I'm seriously considering just going on the pill, if it will put an end to this horrible fucking pain. I never really wanted to before, just because I'm squeamish about any medication that has the potential to affect my mood, but there just aren't any good options for me to control my menstrual pain that don't involve fucking with hormones. Sad bit of history on our species that so little research has been done on female reproductive management, when compared to male reproductive potency. There should be safe, minimally invasive means to sterilize the uterus by now, but there isn't; the best you can do without a hysterectomy is ablation, and that comes with all sorts of potential complications, not the least of which is utter failure of the procedure and doctors not wanting to do it for sterilization purposes (because apparently anyone who doesn't want children someday must have psychological problems). Ugh, but I so hate pills. I already take a ton of them. I haven't wanted to add to the pile (and cost), but man, I can't take this sort of pain much longer. I'm too young for this shit.
~We went to Furry Weekend Atlanta. It was...an experience. Met some really nice socially inept dorks and several of Owen's clients. Also visited my parents, but did not tell them why we were in town.
~We also went to Charleston, SC and toured the town and tea farm there. Bought some tasty tea and a cute carved wooden frog that makes a chirping noise when you stroke it with a peg. Met my aunt Marie and uncle George there. First time I'd seen them in six years. It was good to see them and they seemed happy to meet Owen. I am increasingly under the impression that everyone in my family "knows" and just isn't saying so.
~Taxes are done. Yay. Homeownership rocks.
~We are thinking of visiting Boston this summer, if for no other reason than both Owen and I have only been there once and all we can remember about it is that it was awesome. Everything I read about it makes me want to live there. Still figuring out when/how, and whether we can do it will depend on money and other things. We were also considering Toronto or Vancouver, but to do that, we'd have to get passports. I'm tired of being pegged as someone who's never left the country, though. It makes me sound like I'm not traveled, which is completely untrue; every state except Hawaii, Alaska and Maine have had to put up with my ass at some point, most of them multiple times, and believe me, you have not experienced culture shock until you've driven the USA from end to end. There is a lot of fuckin' weird in this country that you don't see on TV. But, defensive soapbox aside, knowing there is more that I could see and haven't bugs the hell out of me. I want to cross the border, just to see what's there and to say that I did so.
~If you read all that dredge, or even if you didn't, you deserve a kitty! Um, have a very, very relaxed Holden! http://a.yfrog.com/img878/1492/ny8bd.jpg
