My Mind
There are wings
and things
of a viney sort
that twine,
and infiltrate my mind
They cling
and twist
like a violent fist
that finds,
inside my mind
A treasure trove
of light
and wit
a tiny spot
of hope
and grit
that thrives,
inside my mind
Soooooooo, new poem! Enjoy it, first new one I've had in a long time.
Along with the poem, you get a quicky update. The ankle is better, brace is off and I can use it as an ankle is meant to be used. In my case, that means I'll probably sprain it again in a week or so.
My cat Isis has been very sick lately, she had an inflamed liver. FInding out wjat was wrong involved taking her 45 minutes away to Ann Arbor and getting her an ultrasound and a liver biopsy. Said ultrasound involved shaving a good 1/3 of her body. I still think she hates me because of it. Also, I have to wrap her into a quilt every morning and make her into a kitty burrito so I can shoot6 2cc's of bubblegum smelling meds down her throat. She getting better though!
On the work front, I put in my two weeks from the canal boat. I finished the season like I said I would, but because of all thee shit that happened out there this year, I won't be going back in April. Not unless they make me, which they very well could. I'm still working at the Manor House and getting ready for Holidays... it starts next month. Ghosts is this weekend at the canal, so I'll be working a few very long days and hoping to GOD I have my script memorized.
On the personal front, still no dates. Bah to dates. However, in the past four months I've lost about 20 pounds. Wanna know what I'm doing right now? Eating mint Milalo cookies. Why? Because I could eat a whole effin pack and still lose weight. How can I do that? Because I'm on meds that are balancing the natural imbalance in my system. Fuck you PCOS, I have pills!
Only problem with losing weight is my clothes don't fit... and I hate shopping. Ah well, small price to pay ;)
There ya go. You've been updated and I certainly hope this takes care of your Amanda Addiction.
Later all ;)

Wait just a sec...you have PCOS? So do I! Do you mind if I ask what they have you on? If I gain anymore weight, I'll be mistaken for a sumo wrestler!
Oddly enough, it's just birth control. I'm only taking it to balance the hormones out right now, but every time I go on it I lose weight. Apparently I have too much testosterone in my system....
Went on it the first time when I was 16, and then they had me on glocofage as well. Stopped taking it at 18 and started gaining weight again... swore I wouldn't get back to almost 200 pounds so I started on it again a few months ago.
Hope it helps. PCOS is kind of a bugger to deal with ;)
No kidding - it's a real hitch in my life. I've just restarted on the pill too...it's all just one big mess. I hate it. I haven't lost any weight since I started taking it again, but I haven't gained any more weight either so I guess that's a plus. Nice to "know" someone else that's going through the same thing.
It took a month or so for it to kick in for me, but everyone's different. If you'd like, I have a lot of info on PCOS and support sites for the women who have it. They can be a lot of help because you get to talk to other women who are going through the same thing, or those who have to live with the effects of it after it was misdiagnosed. Just let me know, I’d like to help a sister out ;)
