Man, I had my annual OB/GYN checkup today, and my doctor told me she has had an unbelievably huge amount of patients asking for IUDs (mine is due to be swapped out, too, so I'm jumping on that ASAP). Goddamn Trump.

I called a couple days ago and tried to make an appointment to get one, and I'll probably have to wait until January.

Yeah, my doctor said the office manager would call me in a couple of weeks to make my appointment. I don't know if it will be before the end of the year or not.

Today I helped Chico the Yorkie get a new wardrobe and a harness instead of a collar. He was pulling on his collar and choking himself so that was good.

Also petted a boxer named Tula. Then played with the nephew after work.

Laura, I had my first one within the year and it really wasn't that bad.

Good root removal ~ma to you!

This is the only thing that is getting me to my girly bits 'annual' this month. Once I book it. I just am so seriously over fighting for this shit just because I have a uterus. We aren't sharks. There is no human pathogenesis as far as I know. Why is this only a "woman" issue?

I know, I am bitching to the choir.

If anyone has advice for me on the job/money front,

I don't have anything specific to your industry, but I have been working essentially freelance for close to 15 years now. Somehow I see running my little corporation as still freelancing, I just need to keep more people working. I may have some insight into surviving in the "gig economy" that it seems you've ended up caught yourself in. I'm always happy to chat.

Whose bright idea was it to make the liberal arts/psychology/person-centered/relationship-building woman do payroll? Daniel may have been prescient; I was met at the door with the scent of brownies.

Jesus, therapy is hard. So I am watching last night's Arrow to recover (I wasn't home last night and I'm waiting for my coordinator to send me articles, so I have a little free time).

Teppy, I'm sorry therapy is so hard.

ltc is napping, and my inlaws should be here soon. I'm tempted to go out when they get here and find someplace with wifi to watch Arrow.

Do it! It was even better than I hoped. They really hit it out of the park with this one.

It has to be hard, I guess, or else I won't fix the stuff that needs to be fixed. I do get that, honestly. But man, hard therapy is HARD. t /tautology
