\nI got my flu shot on Wednesday.<\/strong> (I also keep being tempted to add an “e” to flu.) It was my annual exam and they were already doing unpleasant things to me so I figured that one more wasn’t going to make the occasion any less wonderful. At least mine is out of the way now and I can focus on making sure that Jon and Daniel (especially Mr. No-Immune-System-To-Speak-Of) get theirs.<\/p>\n
\nI probably could have avoided going in for my annual exam.<\/strong> One of the FNP’s at the practice (which is huge — 12 providers) had called in a year of refills on my birth control pills. (We’ve been through this.<\/a>) The only reason I’m so good about going in for my annual exam is so that said doctor will refill my birth control. After all, I believe that I should be monitored by a doctor if I’m going to be on a medication like that. It was so tempting though to cancel the appointment because the refills were called in anyway… (Can you tell how much I hate my annual exam?)<\/p>\n
\nI hate Lion Brand Homespun<\/a> yarn.<\/strong> If the super-secret project(s) I’m working on didn’t call for it, it would still be in its bin at Michael’s<\/a>. The only benefit is that it crochets up relatively fast. (I’d post pictures except that people close to the recipients read my blog and I don’t want the secret to get out.) My doctor did also criticize my mad crocheting skillz.<\/p>\n
\nCrocheting with fibromyalgia is an adventure.<\/strong> I have a prayer team dedicated to praying for my joints as I work on these projects. So far, I’ve been amazingly lucky and the arthritis in my right thumb isn’t messing with things too much. I have to be aware of what I’m doing as far as my wrists, fingers, and elbows but my thumb has behaved.<\/p>\n
\nI still haven’t caught an episode of The Biggest Loser<\/a> this season.<\/strong> Tuesday has become NCIS<\/a> night for me and I’m too addicted to switch. I’ve been meaning to catch The Biggest Loser<\/a> online but haven’t yet. Uff da!<\/p>\n
\nI have a strange craving for Brie on crackers.<\/strong> (I needed some cheese with my whine, right?) Seriously, I do crave Brie right now. I could theoretically pick some up at Trader Joe’s<\/a> (along with some crackers) but I haven’t because I don’t usually think of it while I’m there. There’s also the lactose-intolerance issue and the fact that it would probably cause some major IBS issues.<\/p>\n
\nI’m craving stinky cheese in general.<\/strong> If I had my druthers and could eat anything in the world without gaining a pound or adding to my liver damage, I’d be noshing on some Pub Cheese and vegetable chips from Trader Joe’s<\/a>. *sighs*<\/p>\n
