Family note: My mom had two (not discovered until one of them filled up with gigantic fibroids and she needed a hysterectomy, upon completing which they discovered the second one hiding behind the first). Not a fan, does not recommend.

I had my uterus out for fibroids, so I got to keep the ovaries and their lovely hormones. At least for a few years. At which point they had to come out for other reasons. I didn't miss the uterus; I did miss those little hormone factories.

I spent all day at the mechanic and now ltc has a fever of 101 and the chills. She was supposed to go back to karate tomorrow.

Feel better, ltc! Stay well yourself, sj! What a bummer for both of you.

I was supposed to have mine out for fibroids but because of blood clots I couldn’t. I had an embolization instead. (So because of an embolism I had to have an embolization). It’s helped a lot but would have been better to ditch the heavy periods altogether.

Thanks, JZ. Her fever is at 100 this morning. She slept all night and seems less miserable today. We're watching movies and cartoons all day.

Epic that is infuriating about the doctors office. I really hope your treatment plan is something that will go really smooth.

Get better soon ltc!

I...somehow..broke my bridge that I got put in on Tuesday. Eating crackers. My bite was kind of feeling off and I was going to call the dentist . So now I have to call about this. I'm really frustrated with myself because it feels like after breaking the original , the temp, and this one I'm doing something wrong .

Aw, poor ltc. This is a good day to lie around, at least.

askye, that sounds like your dentist is doing something wrong.

I agree with Jesse. Not that getting the dental work set perfectly is easy by any means, but unless you're gnawing on animal bones with wild abandon in between, I feel like a bridge should hold up to a cracker.

Hope ltc doesn't feel too bad, and I hope you're all having a good Saturday even though not as originally planned.

I have been so tired this week! I guess DST + coming off of Zoloft after a titration down. I tell you what, I was SUPER hair trigger cranky last week, so I'm glad that part of withdrawal seems to have passed. Naps I can handle, but being irritated by every damn, stupid, tiny thing is exhausting.

Listen to them, askye.

JZ is awaiting the delivery of our furniture from the White Elephant Sale. The two men doing the hauling own their own business and it is called: Lugg.

Because we don't yet have access to the flat where the furniture is going to live, it will temporarily stay with JZ's friend Maggie, who lives in our neighborhood and has been renting out two of her empty bedrooms to us as storage. Which we need because (a) we've got too much shit for our tiny apartment; and (b) we also have stuff that was salvaged from JZ's father's house after the fire there.

Anyway, the Lugg-men cometh, and they do this super helpful thing that every mover should do which is they just send you a text of where they are at at every point. They showed when they were picking up the furniture, when they were on the bridge, and now that they're in the neighborhood.

Now if the Vanity mirror can just arrive intact...

Come June, we'll probably hire Lugg again to move the stuff out of Maggie's apartment into the new house, which is all of five blocks away. But also upstairs. So, I'm happy to outsource the lugging.
