No more birth control pills!! I am very excited about that, and really hoping that my moods will get back to normal. If they don’t, well, either me or Den is going to snap soon, and I have no idea who it will be. I don’t even know why<\/i> I’m so cranky, I just am<\/i>. Oh it’s aweful.<\/p>\n
Also I’m getting sick. It’s that crappy feeling that something is coming, but it’s just not there yet. It started Wednesday with a throat “thing” in the morning, and it’s just hanging around. It hasn’t exploded into anything yet, but I can just feel something off in my sinuses and throat. So now it’s just a matter of waiting to see what it does… I’m hoping my immune system kicks it out. Hoping.<\/p>\n
But no, tonight the sinuses are not behaving at all. Allergies + virus? Looks like I’m in for a rough night.<\/p>\n

Today we were at a large family party. It was fun because I had forgotten that most of the extended family out here had not seen me with my shorter hair, and they were all doing double-takes when they saw me. Plus I’ve lost some weight and am fitting into a smaller size, so I’m feeling very pleased with myself. (Not so pleased after the pigging out I did tonight, though. That isn’t going to help keep me in smaller pants!) I guess I kind of have the feeling of, I’m not pregnant, I don’t have a cute baby in my arms (like many others there tonight), so at least I can have a good looking body, goddamnit. It’s not much of a recompense – I’d trade in a second<\/i>, but it’s something to hold tight to, that all is not lost.<\/p>\n
I noticed that I don’t really react to the babies like I used to. They are less elephants in the room as… raccoons. Kind of unusual, and you do want to go and look, but it’s not this big huge thing anymore.<\/p>\n
My chiropractor was there, though – she is friends of friends. Very nice lady, I like her a lot as a person and as a doctor… but she’s also one of the few who knew I was pregnant. Whom I haven’t seen yet. So she comes up to me and says I look fantastic, asks how I am with a big smile. I shake my head and say, “Actually… not so good, no.” She knew what I meant immediately and blurted out, “Oh no! That’s just shitty!” Then she paused and said, “That’s not very professional.” I told her she wasn’t acting in a professional capacity today, so it was perfectly acceptable, lol. She gave me a hug and asked me how I was doing at work with all of this. And she said we’d talk at my appointment next week.<\/p>\n
Just such a nice person. Going to the chiropractor isn’t just about my back. She’s a very earthy person, their office always has some soft meditation music playing and every appointment she comes in and we chat… it’s like a little time-out for the week. While she’s working I have to really focus on relaxing my muscles and letting stress go, and honestly if there was nothing more done than just that it would be worth it. And I noticed my back doesn’t hurt half as much as it used to, which is extremely exciting for me.<\/p>\n
She’s such a motherly personality… you can tell she was meant for that profession. Not a doctor in a white coat, but a slightly alternative path, but helping others, nurturing others. Not only does she help my spine back into place, but in a little way she helps my soul, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
