Blog 171: A Little Clarity
Feb 28, 2007 11:18 PM
It's amazing how things change when you've experienced traumatic loss... it really puts everything into perspective. Since I've been home I've been kicking ass.. trying my damnedest to maintain some sense of balance in my life. I've been kicking people to the curb with my 6 inch stiletto boots that offset the delicate tightrope that I'm teetering on. I love my friends.. but some of them like being weak and dependent.. but that doesn't sit well with me.. I like powerful people around me.
One of my really good friends is going to jail because she didn't listen and get a new lawyer - someone willing to fight for her on a DUI charge. Over the last few months admist my own issues I have yelled, and reasoned, and tried to make her see the error of her ways.. and now, she's got this lawyer selling her bullshit that even Stevie Wonder can see clearly. So she's going to do a few weeks in jail - that won't apply to her sentence.. along with 8 months in a sober living facility.. when she could have fought it and won because the accident wasn't her fault... I yelled at her that she's being irresponsible for not wanting to tell her mother.. and finally, that she is being selfish not wanting her friends to throw her a going away party.. that she owes then an opportunity to say goodbye... In the end I jsut started calling people and making arrangements for a party anyway.. whether she likes it or not. Fuck that. Sometimes you gotta lead people by the nose to show them they are loved. :-)
Yesterday I had to go to a post-op appointment. I still hate the county hospital I had surgery at.. although my surgical team was awesome. I always have a different resident doing my post ops.. so its like damn near starting from scratch each time.
They gave me retarded information that I already know.. that I'm not pregnant, (didn't I just tell you people I had my period like 3 weeks ago?) They scheduled an appointment for in 2 weeks for an ultrasound I asked for a month ago.. to confirm if this new small, simple cyst that appeared on my right ovary after the surgery to remove the right one. They finally gave me the prescription for birth control I have been begging for since my surgery to control the endometriosis I have been suffering from since my procedure in '04... I was so relieved to get out of there.
Later I ran off to a shoot in North Hollywood for Pinup Paradise. I am not posting the link as the guy's site has a nasty, nasty virus that screwed up my sister's computer while I was away. When he fixes it I will let you know...
Today has been filled with trying to confirm bookings and clearing out the 385 pages of friend requests here on MySpace. (I am down to 256 now! Woohoo!)
I started The Master Cleanse when I returned home from Michigan.. need to desperately get rid of all the crap in my system after all the great food I had while I was away. I've lost 5 pounds since I started 2 1/2 days ago.. I feel great for the most part.. my head is clear.. my thoughts are crisp.. my dreams are vivid. Tonight while watching the 2 hour premiere of ANTM (America's Next Top Model,) I started feeling a little heavy.. less lucid... dizzy.. nauseous. Could it be the extremely heavy bleeding for the 2nd time this month that started yesterday? Or could it be that my body was producing some minor flu or cold bug that was being amplified by the fasting/ cleansing process? I dunno... I'm going with a combination of the two. So I drank a couple of cups of the lemonade for my cleanse to settle my tummy and relax my appetite. I feel better.. drinking my cup of tea for the night before bed. Tomorrow I am going to try to get to yoga.. or at least get to the steam room. I need it. Being in Michigan twice this month has completely dried my skin out.
Off to bed..
Love, Me.
