I’m exhausted, possibly from dehydration. Saw the PCP and it isn’t the anemia. He doesn’t think I’m getting enough carbs, considering my activity level, so for a week I get to eat one Pop-Tart a day and white rice and pasta! Yay! He also said that stress and tension can add to my exhaustion. He put me on a new Pill called Yasmin that supposedly has fewer PMS side effects, so hopefully that’ll take care of my fibroid worries.
I passed my butt tests with flying colors (heehee). The problem is a loose involuntary sphincter muscle that neither surgery nor physical therapy can cure. One option, which I’m going in for on Tuesday, is to inject (and it better be with a syringe, not a needle) some medication up my butt that’ll create some scar tissue to make the muscle tighter. Don’t ask me how. I just want the fucking thing fixed already.
I’m also playing hockey once or twice a week now, and Brian and I have started a weekly Creative Writing/Beginning Fiction class. Who knew writing would take up so much of my time? 
The downside is that all of these things are on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, all in a pretty little exhausting row.
Regardless, I’ve just felt very withdrawn lately and once again, may have to take a short break from the blog world for a bit. Brian may keep you all updated on my progress. I’m one tired gal.
take care of yourself – writing, hockey, and carbo-loading sound like much more fun things to do that blog all the time anyway.
loved the recent photos of you blocking lots of shots in summer hockey – do have Brian post game updates! i read them.
Well, then there’s Neopets (shameless plug), which I’ve been trying to avoid as much as possible except that there’s a new plot going on and I can’t just desert my pets!
Unfortunately, the writing isn’t coming as easily as I hoped, but at least those particular muscles are getting exercised, even if I’ve neglected cardio, etc.
I’m also working on organizing a team for this year’s Puck Cancer Tournament in August, and starting a separate hockey blog (I’ll e-mail you about that). It’s still in its infancy, but once it’s set up, I figure I’d just place a link to future game posts to that blog. Still, I’m glad someone’s interested in them!
