I have a journal. But I haven't felt like personal journaling in a long while. When you're perpetually anxious and depressed, there's little point in continually putting that out there for the world to see.
So I'm going to try something a little lighter and see what happens. *shrug*
This can be deleted or made private at any time, I suppose.
If I don't reply to a comment, it's nothing personal, I'm just terribly shy. Even online.

I'm honestly glad I'm not the only one who's noticed it, because I seriously sometimes get the feeling this is the norm and I just somehow missed it before.
I completely understand. It seems that people are getting more and more self centered. It really irks me when people do that too - approach you, yack about themselves, then when you try to talk they're suddenly out of time and gotta go now! The entire concept of friendship has gone south.
I'm honestly glad not to be the only one to think that is just an insane amount to drink and an insane amount of time to wait. They all must have bladders of steel or something.
It took a lot of bravery to get through all that. You are who you are, and it had to be so difficult. I hope it's eventually worth it, that you eventually find some relief.
For the record, I don't see how anyone can drink that much water and wait an hour without exploding.
Dealing with doctors can be uncomfortable. I would recommend you to keep looking for one that you feel you connect with. Often a woman doctor can add that right amount of sympathetic tone with her knowlege and care that makes all the difference. Don't give up, just keep looking. The right doctor will be understanding and help you through the process, not just hurd you through like a piece of cattle. Hope you find both peace and healing.
Hold up a second, another neuron just sputtered. About not using something when a lot of other people use it poorly: we all need to unilaterally stop using quotation marks, based on this: http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/
We had a chickadee holed up in our clothesline one season, and it looked pretty cozy in there. Likewise the ones that put a nice downy nest in a hole in the neighbor's fence a few years in a row. Shivering is uncomfortable for us, but to them it's part of life. They'd probably miss it if they didn't shiver for awhile. When I went to visit my dad in California, I noticed the chickadees there are much, much bigger than the chickadees in Wisconsin. I guess being small is part of their survival strategy too.
As for your neighbors, wonder what they'll think when Fluffy brings home a freshly killed skunk and lays it under the porch.
Writer-to-writer comments tell you to avoid all kinds of preconceived notions and pet peeves. No semicolons; hardly any adverbs; now no dreams? Bleagh, forget that! I try not to review according to my personal biases, but I'm sure I do it anyway. Here (*pitch*), take some grains of salt!

What a pain, T. I can't imagine what it's like for you to have your routine disrupted like this. I hope someone finds an answer. Soon.
I've been to the hospital twice so far, once to see the doctor and give a urine sample, then a week or so later to drop off another sample and have my blood drawn. That was a week ago and although my mother had an appointment the same day and has gotten her results back, I haven't heard anything yet. My mother said they won't bother getting back to me if they don't find out anything so I'll probably have to call them and ask what to do next. All I know is they didn't find anything abnormal with the first sample, so, no idea what it is.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."
So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton--and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers--and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield. Can Elizabeth vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.
A quote:
"I don't have long, Elizabeth. All I ask is that my final months be happy ones, and that I be permitted a husband who will see to my proper Christian beheading and burial."
