Hello, my listy internet pals. As you may have heard, there was a big soccer game today. Spain was playing, which I found out only after they won and every corner of my internet presence was besieged by congratulations in terrible sixth grade Spanish. (“Puedo ir al bano … GOAAAL! GOAAAL!” Etc.) As you can [...]

But My Non-Imaginary Friends Are Such Smartasses…
So, my thyroid ultrasound came back and everything looks good: No nodules, no giant tumor with tentacles, not even a goiter. This last is almost too bad, as I had a name for my goiter, and had been running around talking about it like it was a person. “Does that salt have iodine in it? [...]

Like a Punch in the Neck
A few days ago, I had a thyroid ultrasound. I was totally cool with this at first. Sure, put goopy stuff on my neck and run a wand over it. In the course of what I am now calling Fun With Hypothyroidism, I’ve been through plenty of undignified visits to the doctor. At least now [...]

Coworker Dennis Is Having a Ball
Today, I called Coworker Dennis on the fact that although he acts like he’s terrible at sports, he’s actually very athletic, and just hates them.

It’s Not That Nobody Likes a Fat Girl. It’s That No One Believes Her.
I have a doctor’s appointment today. Few people look forward to doctor’s appointments, but those of us with ye olde hypothyroidism practically look backward, we hate it so much. My doctor, who is very nice and will at least prescribe something other than Synthroid for thyroid problems, is gradually driving me crazy through no fault [...]

Watching ‘House’ With Sgt. Lucky
Sgt. Lucky: And here we have another person leaving their life partner while that partner is dying. Me: Yup. Sgt. Lucky: The theme of this show isn’t “Everyone lies.” It’s “Nobody loves you.” A few weeks ago we were watching House and the diagnosis hinged on whether or not the patient was cheating on her [...]

Sgt Lucky Is the Adult Around Here
Me: The more I hear about giving birth, the more I think I probably won’t be able to do it. Sgt Lucky: Yes, you will. Me: No, I mean, it seems to take hours and cause sweating. I hate both those things. Also, I’m pretty sure my makeup will run. Sgt Lucky: You’ll look cute. [...]

Everything Is Broken
This week, both my computer and my cell phone broke. My computer can’t connect to wireless. It just searches and searches, lamp held aloft, for an honest IP address. The cell phone acts like everything’s OK, and then it says it can’t find its smart chip. I don’t know about you, but there are a [...]
