Still tired.

Less annoyed, in general. This is good! I did much killing of things in NeverWinter Nights. I did, in fact, finish the game, last night.

Very pleased by unexpected feeding and satisfying of an entirely non-necessary bit of my often excessive curiosity. My curiosity is happy.

Damn sleep study people still haven't called me. Perhaps I should try to get their number from my doctor, if I haven't heard anything by Thursday (which is a week after they were given my information).

I wonder if I can convince my doctor to let me be sterilized yet? I'm tired beyond belief of birth control pills, and it's been quite irritating trying to find and get something _else_ which won't annoy me for the same reason (having to take them on a regular basis).

Get to find out if the pills for my kitty are having the expected effect tonight, as well as attempt to determine if he can have the dental cleaning done that he needs done. I'm pleased to note that as far as I can tell, [livejournal.com profile] ayalanya was able to give him his pills crushed in his food yesterday (with stuff I mixed, but there _was_ an obvious difference between what she and I do, so in theory she ought to be able to mix it the way he'll eat it herself, now). I'm also pleased to note that my tax refund ought to pay for all the unexpected costs for my kitty. So I shouldn't fall too far behind on my paying off of loans. (My car loan will be paid off next pay period!)

It's not raining today, but it's still cloudy. Dammit. But! It's not snowing, either.

Ought to be able to return to parking in a non-expensive place soon, as I doubt it'll snow past April. Hopefully my landlord manages to find me a space to park before next winter, so I don't have to move.

[livejournal.com profile] jasra visit tomorrow! (preceded by an inordinately charming greeting card!)

I have friend who could never get the pill to work for her (issues with the hormones). She got an IUD and is very pleased with the results (although it was painful for the first month or so.)

Yeah, I was investigating that. But the one I wanted has specific things against being used by people with multiple sex partners, and I am made entirely too uncomfortable by not being honest with the people taking care of my health.

My primary care doesn't insert them herself, and the place she sent me to wasn't willing to do so, even though I was willing to sign something saying that I understood the increased risk.

(incidentally, I'm talking about the Mirena (http://www.mirena-us.com/))

Interesting. So what exactly is the increased risk? As in, how is it riskier than the same multiple partners if, say, you're on the pill? (Or is it, really?)

I've had this discussion with my dr. too. Basically, the idea is that if you have multiple partners you're statistically more likely to end up with PID. Getting PID while you have an IUD can cause dangerous complications.

Right. So if you're very careful about safer sex, you might think about trying another doctor?

Otherwise, ring? Patch? Shot?

Thought of it, but it's damned difficult to find decent doctors. My primray care physician is fine with it, but she doesn't insert them.

Don't want to have to go into Boston for it, because of the fact that most doctors are only open during business hours.

Currently investigating norplant. Which may or may not be spelled wrong. :)

I go to Acton Medical Associates -- I don't know if they do the procedure, but I've had good experiences with several doctors, so it might be worth at least a phone call to see? Email me if you want me to name names :)

Something about an increased STD risk associated with IUDs. I don't remember exactly.

As in IUDs increase the risk that, if you are exposed to an STD, you will catch it?!

I think so.

But I note that I may be remembering wrong, and it may be that I'm misremembering the thing that [livejournal.com profile] phaedra_lari said.

PID is caused by STDs :)

Ah, ok. :)

Yay indeed!

And yes, please bring back the sun. I am missing it.

Yay NWN killings! Were you playing a female character? If you play a male then in the original campaign you can end up in a relationship with both Aribeth and Linu at the same time. Yay hot poly elf-elf action!

Yay kitty!

Yay car loans!

Yay [livejournal.com profile] jasra! (Envy of both of you!!)

You've mentioned this before; the character I actually finished with was male, and I would have said 'you end up in after-everything-calms-down relationships with them', as that's where things seemed to end up.

I had an active relationship declared with Linu, and Aribeth saying, yeah, pretty much "Ok, I love you and want you, let me tidy some things up and then it's Dire Weasel sex for us!" ... which didn't invalidate or end my relationship with Linu. Yay!

(I admit I grin heaps whenever I imagine Linu's probably disaster stories following any threesome attempt...)

Huh! I wonder what I missed doing or saying, now. :)
