My doctor appointment was cool, and all seems to be well, though I had about five vials of blood drawn for lots of tests, so we'll see how that goes. There was a weird moment where I had to drop my pants (i thought he was going to go an internal exam, but instead he was....measuring....with a ruler....yeah....), and right before he said, uh, do you want Millie (the nurse) in the room? And I thought only for half a second and said, no, I'm fine. Then I started to think about whether he would be considered violating the law. The other funny thing was that it was totally last minute addition, like he had a brief moment of realizing that I'm not a bio-guy and oh, maybe a female nurse should be in the room.... He also commented on my belly fuzz and it's propensity. And I lost almost 20 pounds since I was last there, which means I've lost almost 40 pounds since October! Crazy. He was asking about my diet and exercise and he said "oh, you've cut all the fat out of your diet, right?" like he was just confirming it, because that must be why I lost weight. I was like, uh, yeah, sort of. Anyway, all was well, he gave me a new hormone prescription with enough refills to last a year!! And when Millie came in to take blood, she gave me a hug. She's so cool.


My blood sugar is SOOOO low right now. I didn't eat anything this morning for my tests. At 10:45 I had an orange. At noon I had bunch of bagel chips. And 20 minutes ago I ate a meal from Arby's (very bad for me, I know!). And guess what? I still feel sluggish. I don't feel hungry by any means...but I feel that my body is fighting back a headache, too. Ugh. I talked to the doctor about it, and he said he would pay extra close attention to my blood sugar levels this time, in case I'm borderline diabetic or something.

Oh, and by the way, the doc measured me at 2.5 centimeters, which is about 1 inch. Not erect, of course -- ha ha. Look out porn industry -- here I come!

I went out last night after the bookstore with De___, Ni____, Co____, and Ti___. It was a LOT of fun. I drank a little, which was sort of fun, because it eliminated my trapdoor of self-censorship and caveat giving. In other words, I blabbed a lot. Especially potentiall embarassing information. But it was fun, to be honest. I like and trust all of them, so I don't feel like I crossed any lines, at least not too far. At least I hope not. And I discovered that I like bars a lot, but only small ones on weeknights when they aren't crowded and loud. So I'm more likely to go out to chat and drink on Wednesday and stay home in my pajamas on Saturdays. But I don't think I would like to go out more than twice a month or so.

I'm very sleepy right now...the post-lunch drowsiness. Tonight will be good though. Especially the part after the bookstore.
