It’s on!  Patch #2 joins patch #1 on my lower belly, achieving a much more symmetrical (and therefore to be desired) look.  Actually, having written that, I realize that I feel like a toddler –  so excited about her book of stickers that she can’t understand why no one else is quite as giddy with the joy of stickering.  Trust me, it was quite a rush.  

Ok, not really.

No side effects at all, save a bit of bloat – which could also be from the crap I ate this week.  I really need to get back on track and quit sabotaging myself this way.  I’ve got a cramp in my left calf, though I’m not sure it has anything to do with the meds.  Might have just slept wrong.  Nothing new there.

And, for the first time in a very very very long time, I am really looking forward to my period.  It’ll be interesting to see if my usual crippling mood-plunge takes a pass this month, or if it really is hormonal, and not related to the fact that day one of my cycle has been – for the last year or so – concrete evidence that I can’t do this right…

We’ll see.  

I’m a little saddened that I’ll be getting my bag o’ medicines from a pharmacy that my Dr. works with, as a sort of package deal.  And I won’t be getting them until it’s actually time to start using them.  Sort of a bummer, since I’d rather like to play with them.  Fondle the syringes.  Arrange all the ampules in rows and patterns and otherwise get to know the stuff intimately.  

Maybe I’ll go paint my toenails.  I should probably be putting a bit more effort into “nether regions” grooming since there will be so much attention paid to that area of my body in the next few weeks.  

Gonna go take a walk and try to stretch this cramp out of my system.
