This is a stupid thing that I get caught up in all time...I cancelled a contribution to something(Not that I still don't care about the Earth, but I think my finances are sort of being nickeled-and-dimed one recurrent donation at a time...need to rethink, you know?) But now I feel as though, you know, some little wolf cub is not going to eat cause I want to be in control of my ten dollars. Even though I know that Ellen Whatsis who signed my receipt doesn't really know me, I feel disappointing and had to talk myself out of it. Dumb, huh?ETA: Cindy, sorry about your FIL. ETA2: Anyone have a favorite green org that I should think about giving to? Check me out...Casey McCall moment. Except Casey would never allow a mass-produced e-receipt to occasion a guilt spiral.

Health~ma for your FiL, Cindy.

Ladystuff TMI: so I had the Mirena removed 7 weeks ago. Right after that I had a week of light, half-hearted bleeding and I thought well that's that. Nooo. The last two days I've been bleeding like I'm making up for lost time. Dammit, I guess I'm STILL not in menopause.

I guess I'm STILL not in menopause.

Every four months or so, the universe pokes me in the guts and says "Not yet, sucker!"

That is genuinely the only reason I would consider getting another Mirena after this one needs to come out -- I haven't had a period in almost 10 years, and I don't want to go back.

I hennaed my hair without hennaing anything else in my apartment! (Much.) I'm getting better at this!

Yay, Hil!

Ugh. I ordered dinner, and I ordered mango juice with it. I'm pretty sure they gave me mango-pineapple juice. I'm allergic to pineapple. It's not a severe allergy or anything -- the most that will happen is my lips and mouth get itchy and swollen -- but still. Ugh.

I really should go to campus today so that I can be at the computer where I can record videos for my online class, but my ankle is hurting a lot, and going to campus means having to walk across campus from the garage to my office. Plus, driving, which isn't really great for my ankle, either.

Hil, I hope you got some quality relaxing in, If you could not be as productive as you had hoped.

I think I had an anxiety attck earlier. Crying and screaming, out of control, so overwhelmed with all I wanted to get done and terrified I couldn't do it.

We had a busy, mostly fun, somewhat productive, weekend. I'm exhausted, but in a good way. ltc is walking like crazy, and is becoming even more fiercely independent.

I've been reading and nodding along. ~ma and hugs to all who need them.
