So Much for the Weekend

It's Sunday and I'm propped up at our makeshift desk wondering why I got out of bed again. But here, I am. I guess because I needed to look out the window and remember that things aren't ever as bad as they feel. You see, while I have had a few momentary periods of enjoyable moments this weekend, I have missed out on a few others because the rest of it was unfortunately stolen away by my long forgotten foe... clever Germans. WARNING: If you're less prone to care about my bodily functions, do not click that link. Click on, women, I'm sure you'd be interested to read.

I had forgotten about this foe because for about a year and a half I have been (for multiple reasons) taking one of the prescribed treatments which I had only recently decided to cease. And now it's back in rare form, but fortunately seems to be on it's way out the door for the time being.

I have to admit it's mildly frightening every time it happens because I feel the way I did when I was sixteen and it first started happening. I was terrified. I can almost feel the chalky sensation of barium on my tongue and the way my body felt like it heated to nearly 200 degrees on a medical table with that IV hooked to my arm. And the rounds of tests with scary names that I were afraid were all going to point to something disastrously wrong with me: Upper GIs, CAT scans, and ultrasounds. But everything came back negative, and then and only then did my doctor decide that it had to be a condition only 20% of women experience and intermittently at that. A condition that could otherwise be deemed harmless were it not for the ridiculous amount of pain it puts you in for such a short period of time.

But, oh well!

In other news, Cliff had a great time with his team up at Kings Island and our new baby iMac was delivered yesterday and is slowly settling into its new home.

Also, I will post the link to the new blog here soon... I'm not quite ready to yet. But thanks for those who have expressed interest in reading! :)
