[health] the good, the not so good
Sep. 6th, 2009 10:44 amSome of you have followed the chronicles of "omg my body HATES me", mostly to the tune of being in so much pain every time my body decides to remind me that it's female that my doctor prescribed me vicodin for the pain levels, and being dragged out dead exhausted all the rest of the time. My "I feel fine and normal" days could be measured in less than a handful a month.
The latest round of my doctors trying to fix this was my obgyn going "huh... you might be low on progesterone. Let's try some hormone pills." (Did I mention they're small and perfectly round little globes that are candy coated pink? They're kind of adorable, actually.)
( three-ish months later on the personal health front... )
In other news, I acquired another bookcase yesterday (I don't put the backs on them when I put them together, so they're 3x3 cube shelves that are open on both sides) and went on a furniture rearranging spree. I now have a sort of nook in the living room (ie, the shelf is sticking out from the wall instead of smack up against it, so that it blocks off my sitting area from being in direct line to the front door) and then attacked my bedroom this morning to make a similar nook (two of the shelves now at right angles to each other, making an L shape that also blocks off my usual sitting spot from being directly viewable from the door.) This relieves a lot of my "omg ARGH there's a DOOR at my BACK" itch, and also incidentally gives me the ability to doublestack my paperbacks on the shelves and still be able to see them all - one row faces out one direction, the other row faces out the other direction on the back. Double sided book shelves FTW! All of my books are now accessible! I even have five whole cubes that aren't being used! W00T!
(To give you some reference, I have five of those shelves. Two of them are being used as double-sided room dividers, so make it 7 total 3x3 shelf surfaces. All of which - excepting those five spare shelves - are jam packed full. I might have a wee small bibliophile addiction.)
My art and school and writing reference books are all now in my bedroom, which makes me happy. Organizing the paperbacks is going to be a monumental task of insanity for some OTHER three day holiday weekend. =P
