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 ocelotofdoom linked me to this, and I disappeared into it for a couple of hours.

( Results )

I'll probably resize a few and use them as icons for owlofowls since I don't have any icons over there yet.

I have a sewing post to do as well, but have to okay it with Paige first anyway so I'll give you guys a break and wait until tomorrow to do that P: and you'd better bet there'll be a baking post this weekend, too. I'm not trying any new recipes so it'll mostly just be photos showing off my cookie decorating skillz.

BTW, I would like it to be known at this time that there are WAY TOO MANY FUCKING SPIDERS IN THIS HOUSE.

Been mainlining Dogtown, the show about the largest no-kill shelter in the US. The episode on some of the Vick pibbles made me cry ;n; one of them was so scared of people that for a long time he would only crawl on his belly if they put him on a leash, he wouldn't walk. They rehabilitated him though and I'm pretty sure he got adopted? I fell asleep lmfao have to go back and re-watch the episode later.

In this episode they have what looks like a border collie/lab mix who herds everything. Right now she's herding rocks. Aklfklsajfdsak

Also, Derek's been playing in the basement with Tripper again. I.E. been playing street hockey in the basement and encouraging Tripper to chase the pucks. Tripper has brought up two hockey pucks now and dropped both on me X.x now he's laying down with one and the other is sitting next to me on the couch. Prior experience suggests he will continue to bring up every single puck down there lmfao

How come so many little dogs sound like gremlins when they're angry? Are we really sure these little creatures are dogs? D:


ETA: AUGH. Was reading creepypasta, listening to this, in the dark, and my audio just warped suddenly D: in the SCARIEST POSSIBLE WAY.

ETA2 IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN RIGHT AS I OPENED THE CREEPYPASTA WIKI AGAIN

GETTING NERVOUS WTFFF
