stupid birth control patch
No longer on the patch, no longer pissy. Not only did the patch make me pissed off all the time, it made me unable to sleep. After nearly three weeks of not sleeping more than a couple of hours a night, I took the last patch off two days early. I was determined to use it for a full cycle which is 21 days, but I only made it 19 days. Close enough ( Read more... ) -
Ragh!
Still on the patch and still pissy. Additionally, I've had two days worth of headaches. Neither Ibuprofen nor caffeine has helped with the headache.

I knit a stupid hat!
I learned how to knit in the past few weeks, and it's surprisingly easy. I've spent years putting it off because I thought it was hard, but I was (happily) completely wrong.

I am lazy
I keep forgetting to update lately. I've been very busy, so it's not entirely due to laziness, but I won't try to claim that I'm not lazy ( Read more... ) -
Ed is on a roll
Ed is master of breaking things lately. Following closely on the heels of the wedding ring incident, he has now also managed to break his car, and our friend's dining room chair ( Read more... )
