Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

Hey all,

My best friend lived through the night. There was a chance of her going into Acute Liver Failure (which has a one in three chance of death!) but she survived. THANK GOD!

She’s in a hospital now and will be there for a while, but she’s okay and hopefully will get the help she needs to be better.

I had lunch with a coworker today and saw someone playing on the downtown astroturf that reminded me of my best friend. I started to cry thinking about how she would come to my work and hang out and distract me. Then I realized that I’ve been a little emotional recently, very sensitive…

Well *duh*! Shit kind of hit the fan over the weekend, but something else was at play here….

I had to think about it all day long until I realized what could be affecting me… MY BIRTH CONTROL PILLS!

For the last 3 weeks, since I started my pills, I have had the weirdest cycle! I have spent more days ON my period than off. Now, that’s not CONTIGUOUSLY, mind you. I had a week on, then a week off and now I’m back on–not a good sign… I don’t mind this weird cycle except for the fact that I am EXTREMELY emotional because of it. Oi vey!

I thought the pill was supposed to regulate me but it has turned me into a big cry baby with a moment of extreme sadness each day… Today I saw was watching Grey’s Anatomy (DVD) and a woman reminded me of my mom and THAT made me cry. I’m telling you, I RARELY cry and with the help of FemCon FE  I seem to be making up for it in abundance these last couple of days.  Maybe I am a wild beast that cannot be tamed by a daily dose of estrogen and progesterine (or whatever they put in "the pill")

Changing the subject, I moved around the furniture in my apartment. Totally rearragned everything: the "Bedroom," living room… the whole nine. if there were movable furniture in the shitter that would have been moved as well. I love three-day weekends.
