| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- don't go down to doldrums... I am really really really tired right now. I slept really hard last night and had a hard time waking up this morning � I think part of it is due to the fact that it is so gray and foggy right now�light depravation or something. Although I love this weather. It�s really beautiful, the bare trees against a colorless sky. Something so nakedly emotional about it� Had a doctor�s appointment this morning. Every time I go it�s like a really bad sitcom. Dr.: So why are you here today? Me: Because your office asked me to make an appointment for today. Dr. Why? Me: To follow-up on my thyroid? Dr. What�s wrong with your thyroid? Me: Um � the TSH level is high � you know, the lab results? Dr. The lab results? What were the lab results? Me: Uh, it was 16.9 Dr. When was this from? Me: I talked to someone on Dec. 23. Dr. Did we put you on medication? Me: Yes, Lavoxyl. Dr. Oh, what dosage? Me: Um, I think 25mg � I�m not exactly sure. Dr: So why are you back so soon? Did you do more blood work? Me: You asked me to make an appointment for today, specifically. And no, I haven�t done more bloodwork. Dr. Oh, maybe I should go get your chart and lab results. Me: Um, yeah, that would be good. Sigh. Anyway, she doubled my dosage and now I�m supposed to go back in another month and get more blood drawn. Hopefully I�ll start feeling a difference soon. Actually, I have been feeling a little bit better overall. I don�t know if that�s due to the medication or my vacation or not being in school right now. But I�ve been frightfully productive and creative-minded. I�m working on my first-ever cross-stitch project. I�m starting a knitting class in February. I�ve got baking on my mind. I�ve read two books in the last week. I�ve cleaned out closets and drawers. I even went to the gym yesterday. Things I still need to do before school starts on Jan. 22:
Like her, I have this feeling that this year might be pretty good. I don�t know what it is � maybe just that the last two years have been pretty rough and here it is already Jan. 8 and I�ve gotten a lot of stuff done and I feel creative AND I just found out my orange kitty is very healthy except for a tooth that needs to be pulled and will wonders never cease, the $300 it will cost us to have her undergo oral surgery is not a concern. I mean, I�d have the surgery done no matter what because it will make her feel a lot better � even if it meant selling off personal items and maxing out credit cards � but the fact that GB and I have the cash, no problem, feels great. The last few months have been good financially � in the sense that I have not been scared to look at my bank account right before pay day. This is a major improvement over holding one�s breath and hoping a check doesn�t clear until after you�ve been paid. We�re still not rolling in any money, but we�re not drop dead broke�.let�s hope that continues. Let�s hope I�m not jinxing things by talking about them. Knock on wood and all that� Here�s to 2003, so far �so not-so-bad� 2:16 pm - 01.08.03
