Yeah, it's been awhile. Why, you might ask? Lots of reasons. First, well, you see, there's this boy. And I think he's pretty great, so I sort of donate a lot of my free time to him. There's also this credit card bill(s) that needs to be paid. Apparently, I like new clothes and shoes. Who knew? Therefore, much of my time has been spent proofreading and sleeping (due to health issues TBA) and playing these days.
I wrote a big, long entry about all my favorite TV, but the Internet crashed while I was trying to find a YouTube version of Family Guy's "The Freakin' FCC." It was relevant at the time. I will probably post the entry at a later date, but seeing as how I worked on it for, oh, two hours, and lost everything, it dropped in priority. And, like I said, there was the boy, so it didn't really get re-written.
And now for an uber personal announcement related to my health (all three of you have probably already heard this). My new doctor (numero three since my last doctor left for urgent care) thinks that I have PCOS. Some of you may remember my breif stint in the hospital a few years ago, which was really emotionally tramatic for me for reasons I don't quite yet understand. Anyway, as I have mentioned in previous rants, they've had me on birth control to try to regulate the cysts. But, pretty much, they've had me on birth control that is completely the opposite of what I need. So, when I said, "I'm having a really hard time controlling my weight," I was right, and they were wrong. My pill was basically fighting me every step of the way. Then I had another cyst rupture a couple weeks ago, which, as you can imagine, scared the hell out of me. Now I'm on something better, and I have a new doctor (which is on my list of 101 goals). I'm still really exhausted, but I think I'm getting a little better every day, so life goes on.
Ben and I went up to Gooseberry Falls for a day a couple weeks ago, so that was incredibly romantic and fun. We went on that really bleak Sunday here in town, but it was gorgeous up there. The sun was out and it was perfectly crisp and cool. Best of all, there was hardly anyone around on the trails, so we got to see fifth falls pretty much undisturbed. He's way more daring than I am, but he was kind enough not to make me go slogging through the mud on some of the less traveled paths. I'm kind of a cissy thise days. There are pics on Facebook if you're interested. He's pretty cute. He makes me happy. It's so nice to be with someone who gets me and loves me just the way I am. It's really an amazing experience to be in love with someone who isn't trying to control me or fence me in or change me in vital ways (at the risk of sounding too cheesy for words).
He even did my dishes for me on Sunday even though I was clearly the asshole in the fight we were having. And not because I told him to. He just surprised me. I came home from watching football, and my kitchen didn't resemble something that would need a nuclear waste team to clean up, which made me feel doubly bad about being the asshole this time.
We also went to an apple orchard this last weekend. We watch a lot of Family Guy, too. There are reports that Settlers of Catan will be played soon.
I am still working a lot on the side, so that's cool, too.
On the whole, it's been a busy fall.
