more drug tests, self-diagnosis for me! all right, this morning (instead of eating all of spk's cereal bars) we have coffee and an apple. whoo freakin hoo... and the weather's bad which is good because I wanted it that way in order to work on my shit. as long as I don't fall asleep again like yesterday for two hours all will be well. hence the coffee I got about midway through writing out the terms and I was going to do article summaries afterwards but now I am doing them as I go and you know what? I got this test all wrapped up on most fronts. I am a little concerned about the short answer questions but I am pretty certain I can breeze through the IDs and the multiple choice as long as he actually sticks to the stuff he claims he is testing us on. midterm no problem. soon back to the paper though and then onto the outline for my thesis *ugh* fun stuff going on. well at least I won't be hunting for swingers as hardcore. I have given up on that for a leisure activity and until I can get Alice's rope thing to work out I am stuck on that too. all there is left to distract me is the TV and I am going to try and go back to the "you must exercise to watch TV" program so that will be taken care of. watch me conquer... tomorrow I have a powerpoint presentation to deliver but that's it. well...work, but that's been pretty easy and a waste of time in the office. bring in some articles to read and don't go nuts. pretty simple. Didn't do much yesterday honestly. got a letter back from another drug test study which I can work for one of the studies anestheseology is doing, assuming they are okay with my birth control being the patch. they mentioned pills but not this so we'll see. I'll get to take pills to reduce heart attacks and strokes by lowering cholesteral for a month and have some regular blood draws. not a big deal but the downside occurs in that I can't have coffee or *gasp!* chocolate for a month. yup, no caffinne in any form and the chocolate is going to be hard. but it's $200 if I succeed and not a lot of work so sounds doable. that reminds me I got to call UHS about my tumor...don't worry it's not a real tumor...it's just this thing on my hip that I thought was a spider bite but it's not going down. predictions are it's a cyst and I was going to drain it myself but it seems to be shrinking but it hurts so time to show it to someone. while in hospital visiting spk's mom I realized how different we are in terms of self-diagnosis. I am loath to go to doctors even when it's free and willing to buy my own Rx drugs or whatnot over the internet...I'm a narcoleptic where can I get preludes for low cost and no hassles? hmmm....whereas he won't attempt to stick needles into himself or pull his own teeth or move a tube in the hospital. lol and yes I find that odd with his ability to stick needles into others and such but I guess that's just him. I was brought up with the belief that a doctor is merely human and knows as much as anyone else who reads the same texts knows so I can easily diagnose and treat myself whereas he would rather leave it to trained professionals. So be it. but yeah, got to call UHS and have this looked at. hopefully the practitioner I see won't suck. the huge ass scar on my shoulder is the fault of UHS malpractice so I tend to never trust those bastards. and in a hour I get to call my codependent drug dealer to answer some of his questions about sex. I made sure he wasn't going to join the ranks of my other friends in becoming whores, which he isn't, and I am hoping that whatever he is asking doesn't involve the possibly skeebie bastard thing I did to him when i was upset at him about something. he hasn't changed his phone number though so it must not have affected him... interesting day maybe...
