Oof. My sister bought a bathroom scale, since her doctor wants her to start trackin' ye olde calories and trying to lose weight. I have always been resolutely anti-scale, given my tendency toward o...

Back again! And after another year-long absence—more than a year this time, I guess. Things are largely okay? I'm seeing a new counselor (although now that I think about it, it's probably ...

horrible_monster wrote Going to the doctor, reading blogs, usual stuff 7 years ago

So I finally had my doctor's appointment on Thursday, and it's such a relief to be reestablished with a primary care doc. I like Dr. P a lot. And we went over the results of my bloodwork, which was...

horrible_monster wrote Blah blah 7 years ago

Medium-stressful day at work, with sensations of incompetence and fatuity balanced by flashes of feeling kind-of okayish. So I'll call that a win, especially since it's the Monday after DST and to ...

horrible_monster wrote Grumpy, weird, et cetera 7 years ago

I'm still ridiculously irritated that OH ate one of my blog entries from a couple weeks ago, and that's part of why I haven't come back to update in a little bit. Ugh. Give me back my slightly thou...
