turtles

outdatedclocks has pointed out that my lower-back/hip problems, and my leg problems, are probably all related to the issues I have with my feet (lack of arches?). I've been making do with CVS-brand arch support pads, but they're not really enough, and I'd like to be able to do some cardio and upper-body stuff again, which I can't really now since my back hurts alllll the time. I'd been putting off talking to my doctor about it because of my terrible experiences with my last one...even though this one's shown no indication she's suddenly going to go all 'you're lying, you must be sneaking nachos in the middle of the night, fatty' on me. In fact, she'll probably be happy to help me out, since she wants me exercising before I go on T since I have a genetic disposition towards hypertension (dad's been hospitalized for it).

BTW, for those curious about the whole doctor saga, since I've posted it around a few places but not actually here at my main journal I think (since I just realized last night ocelotofdoom had never read the whole thing)...I submitted the whole thing to First, Do No Harm (excellent blog BTW) so you can read it here (it's so long I don't see a need to copy+paste it here P:)

Speaking of ocelotofdoom, we might be hanging out this weekend :D or rather, probably are. I am still working out the logistics, I think I'll stay on campus this weekend and take the train into the city. It would mean missing a therapy appointment, but I've skipped weeks in the past (or rather, therapist has cancelled on me) so I know it won't do any damage emotionally or to my comfort level with him.

Okay I really should go to class 6 u 9;;


ETA TAG PARTY

So I spent some time doing drawings of cephalopods today

End results will be adoptables for Aramii, but I can post the sketches here if you guys want to see, once I scan them. Or y'all can just go find me on deviantart? I'm ~Crocuta-Crocuta

SO ANYWAYS my point was I also found some things out that I decided to pass on right so are y'all listening?

Alright, abrupt ending, but I must go to sleep now. I would have gone earlier but there was some goddamn coyote howling outside, which is scary enough when you haven't just been watching Noroi: The Curse. I'm still going to have to put on some TV while I fall asleep. I blame wild canines for all my problems.

Also anobjectinspace. This is his fault as well somehow. The coyote was probably him. STOP HOWLING OUTSIDE MY WINDOW TOPHER.
