Pretty pink hair!

I'm feeling moderately productive. I've washed dishes, did two loads of laundry, judged a writing contest entry, and gone through Annabel's clothes and filled two medium-sized boxes with outgrown stuff that was taking up space in her dresser.

House is still a mess, there's a pile of laundry on the bed, and I haven't written anything on the WIP yet, though. Of course, writing normally happens after AB is in bed.

In less than a month I will have been single for EIGHT YEARS. Not uh, inactive that whole time, but still. EIGHT. WTF.

And how ridiculous is that?? Because smonster is a SEXY BEAST!! A...sexy MONSTER in fact!! HOT HOT HOT, she is! She can shake it like a polaroid picture! She can take care of things like an hot earth MOMMA! And talk circles of exciting theory round your head like an angel. What hope do the rest of us have, I ask you??

I should go read some more trashy romances about straight people having improbable sex in impractical situations and clothing 200 years ago. That will make me feel better.

Gris I totally feel you there. I need a woman. *sigh*

I'm assuming she's got your digits

she does indeed

Oh, yuck, Gris.

Though, I have to lament about the fact that at least you get believed. We girls still get pregnancy tests run on us, even when we say we're not sexually active. And, I do understand the reasoning, though, I did get snippy with the nurse in the ER that ran a pregnancy test on me a week ago when I was in for steroid-related side effects. Not only did I tell her that I'm not currently sexually active, but I also told her I have an IUD, and she still ran the test. Whatever. Talk about rubbing it all in, though.

this has never happened to me, although my gp did roll her eyes at me when I said I wanted to be screened for STDs even though I hadn't had any symptoms.

My PCP doesn't do it. She knows better. But, every trip to the ER or GYN, I get a pregnancy test.

that's bizarre. And they charge you for it?

Well, I'm sure someone's paying for it, though I have pretty much 100% insurance coverage.

I know at the hospital system I use, they routinely do pregnancy tests on any female who is of "child-bearing age."

I can't tell you how many pregnancy tests I've had to have when there was absolutely no way I could be pregnant. Even when you say, "I haven't had sex in a year," they still test me. It's annoying.

Of course, it also happens to my girlfriend who explains that she's a lesbian and in a relationship with a woman and hasn't had sex with a man in over 10 years.
