Looking back, it was probably a little ridiculous to drink half a bottle of wine and announce in a conversation thread that I had a biopsy coming up. That's fair. I was in a place of not wanting to talk about it too much, but needing to tell enough people that it wasn't my reality alone. So here's what happened.

On March 4th, I got my annual pap smear done, everything seemed normal, and I forgot about it. These things have always been normal for me, and I get tested once a year (or ...

So I've been writing some things for a blog page I'm going to start soon, and this came up. It's a first draft, and I thought I'd try it out here first. Here goes!

I'd like to take a minute to talk about, let's say, women's issues. Specifically, I mean what it can be like to be in a female body. Let me first say that more often than not, I am surrounded by people who are loving and comfortable to be around. Most of the men in my life see me as a companion and a peer, and I am never ...

I know, it's been a while. I've been very reclusive lately.

However!

I'm pretty excited because I just (JUST NOW) ordered my pre-study materials for a personal training certification. I also need to get CPR certified, and there's a class in March I think I'm gonna take.

Something I actually like ...

Heeeeeyyyyyyy....

I know I said I'd post a blog entry when I got back from the folk festival, but I got busy as hell. Anyway, I won 2nd. I'm happy I placed, but it was disappointing not to win. The guy who did win had a band with him. It felt a little unfair, but what can you do? One of the judges came up to me afterwards and told me he'd been fighting for me to win and they were still arguing over the rightful winner. So.. that made me feel better. I'm hoping that even with 2nd, ...

It's been a slow day today, mostly because I don't feel like moving. I often brag about my excellent immune system, but admit that one of my failings is that I will eat ANYTHING. Sometimes that lands me in a situation like this.... I'm not sure what it was that I ate on Friday night that caused this, but it definitely could have been the three plates of cocktail weenies and cheese dip. Or maybe the leftover greens (with bacon) that Caleb fed me for dinner were past their prime. I don't know. But ...
