Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

“Not dead yet!”

I hated the Mirena with the heat of a thousand suns. It made my periods and cramps worse. Couldn't get it out fast enough.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

With diabetes, I can get away with reasonable amounts of whole wheat pasta, and double fiber bread without needing insulin. Fiber, and complex carbs

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Before my thyroid deccided to get whacky, I was 28 days like clockwork. Which made it nice for predicting ovulation. Then the thyroid crapped out and I would be at 23 days, 28 days, 35 days. And when you are trying to get pregnant and your period shows up a full week late? Not fun.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I nominated myself for the 3 Quarks Daily Blog Award for science blog post.

That's how I roll.

Allyson!! I was *just* wondering about you and how you were doing! Like, doing a threadsuck for your name to see if I missed something! How are you?

I am alive! Back at JPL, pretty much done with the spit shine on the bat book before sending it off to Agent Kate, and starting to dip my toes back into the social scenery.

Good to hear! How was your vacation?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The roach or the HS hormone hell?

Roach. Yuck.

Vacation was sorely needed. I felt like I was going to crack for awhile there. It was nice to just take the dog to the park and chillax and get my head back in shape.
