we're dragging our feet
...on the hysterectomy.
Turns out that I have a whole bunch of fibroids and a Mirena is unlikely to work.
:sigh:
So I'm continuing with the progesterone for another month. We'll see how I do when I go off. Since I'm past the average age for menopause already, my GYN and I are hoping to avoid major surgery.
Blargh. -
This one may not pass...

ex post facto flood update
I didn't realize this entry has been sitting in my email (I think because I posted it on my work blog and always intended to put it here as well? maybe?) for erm... 6 1/2 months. Oops.
It's Week 5 of living in Dante's first circle a hotel, week 7 of not living at home.

2015 Reading Challenge Wrap-up
For someone who averages a book a day, I did not do well with this reading challenge (though significantly better counting audio books and re-reading, and pretty near complete if I allow one book to cover multiple categories).

Tapped out
Open house today. Another one next week. Clean, paint, tidy up anything remotely useful, stay out of my house. Why has no one seen what a great house this is? I would pick it up and move it to NH, but that's just not practical ( Read more... ) -

2015 Reading Challenge: Kellerman's Murder 101 (read in one day)
I'd originally planned to use Faye Kellerman's Murder 101 as a book I haven't read by an author I love, but Murder 101 reminded me how much Kellerman has annoyed me in recent books (though I still enjoy them, I no longer find them pure pleasure).

And this? :eye roll: Takes ( Read more... )
