Oh my gosh!

Oh my gosh!  Mystery Tadpole barely has a tail left!  And his nose is getting more pointy!  Photos later today.  Maybe we can tell what he's going to be.  😃

Also, little bristlenose pleco has been BUSY.  You can see all of the places where he's cleaned the algae up.  I know I'll have to clean the tank more to keep his poops cleaned out, but at least I'll still be able to see in.  Scrubbing algae off the tank every few days is just crazy.

Anyway, off to work.  Feeling mostly normal-ish so far today.  😃

I'm about to say something weird.

I'm about to say something weird. I have my old Mirena. Dr. Daniels let me have it back. 🙂 Souvenir, bitches!

It's actually much smaller than I would have thought.

Awake. Feeling ok. More comfy if I recline rather than sit.

Awake. Feeling ok. More comfy if I recline rather than sit. I THINK that I'm hungry and that I could sleep more, but I'm not sure. Finding that to be totally weird. Those are usually things that I know about. How long do drugs last? I took my pills around 12:45. My head feels pretty clear. Lack of pain could be the Ibuprofen I took before falling asleep or left over Lortab in my system. No idea. No complaints - just curious.

Well, I'm back from the doctor. I'm ok. 🙂

Well, I'm back from the doctor.  I'm ok.  🙂

I ate an ass ton of food with my pills so no nausea or anything else crazy or bad.  I had about 5 minutes of uncontrollable giggling and then I slept in the waiting room until I was called back.  That wasn't so bad.

Once I got back there Dr. Daniels told me that it was probably gonna hurt.  He asked me to not tell him because then he'd have to stop.  He's a softy.  🙂  I told him that I didn't even cry until he left the room last time, so no worries.  Also, I told him to do whatever he had to do to get it out because I don't have insurance or enough money to pay for a surgery.

He gave me a numbing shot and although he used more tools this time, and there was more blood, it was less painful than last time.  He did get it out and the string wasn't cut completely off - it was pushed back up into my cervix somehow.  I'm guessing the last doctor did that because I can't imagine that that happened on it's own.

Anyway, my new one is in and I'm good for 5 more years.  Hopefully, my hormones level out soon so I can stop with all the weepy and crazy.  All in all this whole ordeal wouldn't have been so bad if not for the infection, but a few weeks of "blah" is still a small price to pay (in my opinion) for 5 years of birth control I don't have to think about and 5 years of no periods or PMS.

Well, I'm really tired, and my guts are sore, and my head is a little bit wonky so I'm gonna rest for a while.  Maybe take a nap.  I just wanted to let y'all know that I survived and will hopefully be back to my version of "normal" soon.  ❤

Seriously.

Seriously.  I have been a hostile, weepy mess all evening.  I hate hormones.  I don't understand why I feel the way I feel.  I just feel it, and it's crappy, and it's not good, and then I'm mean and I'm crying and it's stupid.  WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS?

Tomorrow I go back to Dr. Daniels for him to try to get my IUD out.  This time, with drugs.  🙁  He'd better try hard because if he can't get it out this time it means surgery... and I don't have the insurance or cash for all of that.

I'm nervous.  I'm nervous about the pills jacking me up.  I'm nervous because I hate to feel nauseated more than anything ever.  And I'm nervous because I'm worried that he won't be able to get it out.

Jonathon and Leslie - I'm really sorry I wasn't great company tonight.  That is exactly why I've been avoiding everyone.  LOL  Lucky for you, you missed the uncontrollable sobbing on the way home.  There was snot and everything.  It wasn't pretty.  Poor Shaun.

I'm REALLY hoping that getting a new Mirena will level me out.  If not, I don't know what I'll do.  I can't live like this.  Actually - I can, but I refuse to.  It sucks.  🙁

Mystery Tadpole is near the top of his pile of rocks...

Mystery Tadpole is near the top of his pile of rocks with his nose out of the water.  Aww!  ❤

Yesterday was great. It was JUST WHAT I NEEDED. 😃

Yesterday was great.  It was JUST WHAT I NEEDED.  😃

My friends Laurel and Emily came and spent the day.  They are animal people, too, so it was really nice to be with people who GET ME on that level.  Unfortunately, it is so rare for me these days.  🙁  Y U NO LIVE CLOSE TO ME???!!!

We did lunch at Panera, and later went to Petco, and finished the night with some IHOP.  At Petco I got some plants and an albino bristlenose pleco for my betta tank.  I wanted one of those because they stay small.  My tank is right by a window, so I'm growing crazy amounts of algae.  😳  He will have plenty to eat.  🙂  Also, Laurel brought me a little tadpole.  We're not sure what kind he is.  He was shipped in with the goldfish where she works so she took him out.  I guess we'll see how he turns out.  That should be interesting.  He has arms, legs and a tail right now.  SO CUTE!

We hung out with the fur-kids, obviously, and Laurel brought her tortoise Clover - who is a FUCKING TRIP.  Such personality.  Just wow.  That girl is FUNNY.  😃  She definitely has to come back again.  I will just have to make sure I vacuum first.  She was all, "This dog hair and fuzz is MINE.  You can't have it.  I will put my head in my shell so you can't take it.  I WILL EAT ALL THE THINGS."  😂😂😂  Since my vacuum wasn't working I had to call Shaun and borrow his.  To keep the tortoise from being bad.  😃

Of course we did nails, and hung out, and talked, and watched movies... regular girl stuff, I guess.  But with animals so that made it x1000 better.  Ladies, we HAVE to do this again.  Come back anytime!  ❤
