7Days.4 - Arrrgh.
Something I did yesterday tweaked my back. Maybe carrying Cy (who is a nice, heavy steel hybrid, not aluminum) up the stairs, maybe the bad angle at which I lifted him to spin his wheels a little while I was wiping him down, maybe I did it when I was filling his tires. I truly hope it was one of those and NOT the actual riding of the bike that did it. So today, instead of having a nice bike ride, I stayed in, turned on the heating pad, and threw painkillers at myself. It's late afternoon, and that seems to have done the trick; it's too late to enjoy a ride now, though, because of those swarms of no-see-ums. I hate picking those little f*ckers out of my teeth.
Anyway, this is still a picture of progress! During the Fall 2009 run of 7 Days, I tried to sprawl on the floor like this with my yarn and ended up in a LOT of pain. This time around, the offending ovarian cyst is absent, and I was able to pop right back up. Tomorrow, the back and I will try taking Cy out.

7Days.3 - Cy got to go outside today!
I took him out, wiped him down, shined him up, and performed ALL KINDS of prepositional phrases on him. Then I hit the road and after 10 minutes started sweating, carrying a goodly amount of sunblock into my eyes and making me turn around and come home. Oh, well. It's a start.

No one can say I'm not prepared.
This is how tough I look when there's no sunblock in my eyes. On a side note, I would just like to reiterate my million-dollar invention idea for the benefit of those who don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook: Someone needs to invent sunblock in pill form.

7Days.2 - Hot.
Today was actually hot, so this is what I look like when I'm standing in heat. Note the lack of smile/will to carry on. Normally when it's hot out, I stay in the nice, cool basement apartment; however, you guys have seen way too much of that, and I had a good excuse to head over to Jenn's today. This was taken on her porch.

7Days.1 - Hey Packet, guess what time it is again!
[Packet]: Aw, crap. Already?
Today was one of those 7 Days days where I left the house, thought about taking a picture at the store, decided I'd do it later, got home, thought about taking a picture, decided I'd do it later, and repeated this process until 11pm, when I thought, 'OMG, it's 7 Days today!'

Sunlight! Run!
Having to take pills every four hours means that I'm up during hours I'm not normally up. I walked out of my room this morning, and THE SUN TRIED TO KILL ME BY STABBING ME IN THE EYES.

7 days, day 5 - out of focus
Today I went to the doctor and found out that I have an ovarian cyst that's 11cm x 8cm. 11cm is just over 4 inches. So this cyst is hanging onto my ovary (my doctor has a French accent, she calls it a 'hovary') and squishing other things around. The only way to find out if it's a bad cyst or a benign cyst is surgery with a 3-day hospital stay. Since it's rather large, she's removing that whole ovary. One's enough anyhow, and since I don't plan on using it for pregnancy purposes, she's also agreed to tie the tube on the other side. Silver lining, I guess.
This picture sums up how I feel today, camera strap and blurriness included. I know the theme for Day 5 is dinner. Darren is cooking dinner as I upload this photo. That's about as close as I can get.

Can I just tell you how much I adore a cat that headbutts? Because I will. For hours, if you don't stop me.

7 Days, day 2 - Style
It's the braids. That's my hairstyle today. Or it could be how the redheads are hanging out together, because that's our style. I'm rather fashion-impaired, so I wasn't about to show off my wardrobe style.

7 Days, day 1
My back's all hurty, and it was colder out today, so I just stayed in and didn't do anything creative for the first day like I'd wanted to. None of the self-portraits I took were entirely in focus, either, so I just picked the cutest one of Packet and played with it. Check out her psychedelic right eye and her lips. They crack me up :)

Mammogram day (take 2)
I got a callback because Righty wasn't smiling or something for last week's mammogram, which meant that I had to remove the rings and put them back in again. Nobody tried to walk in on me this time.

52 weeks, week 17 - NEW WATER BOTTLE
This one has a straw and it sips and it has grippy parts around the middle and the cap, and the lid has a swoopy thing that I can carry with one finger, and it's pink so I won't lose it. Also, the straw part has a tab so if my hands aren't entirely clean, I can open and close it with my thumb.

Christmas at the American Legion Post 530
I'm thinking 1977 or 1978. I'm also sure I could knit that sweater. *squint*
Some of these were already uploaded to Facebook. Sorry for any reruns.

Best Halloween Costume Ever
I called it 'Blind Date from Hell'. That's my mom's bridesmaid's dress from her sister's wedding, some horn-rimmed glasses, about 30 braids tied off with tinsel pipe cleaners, and Keds painted like pink sparkly saddle shoes - complete with rhinestones and tinsel shoelaces. There wasn't even a contest that year.

Cutest Baby Picture EVER
Funny, I keep trying to 'lose' this photo and it keeps popping up again. Now it's on the wienernet forever.

52 weeks, week 16 - Mammogram Day
Not only did I have to get up earlier than usual today, it was because I had to get the girls squished. This is after the mammogram, after putting one nipple ring back in and deciding the other was too much trouble, and right before someone else tried to come into the same dressing room (good thing I didn't end up having to explain the camera!). Right after this, I realized I hadn't told anyone that the girls are pierced, so I [put my shirt on and] chased down the technician and told her because I wasn't sure how that would show up on the 'gram. This was a routine part of my physical, but we'll all cross our fingers anyway, shall we?

52 weeks - week 15 - Mah hrbls, let me show you them
This is how much hair I lose EVERY TIME I SHOWER. I used to work for a plumbing company, so I take great pains to not let the hair go down the drain. Instead, I ball them up between my palms and toss them over the shower curtain, then collect them and throw them away after towelling off. Aren't you glad I shared this with you? Aren't you amazed (like I am) that I have any hair left on my head?

52 weeks - Tagged by OMSH - I haz a chocklit
Within 5 minutes of seeing this photo (or you know, when you can), take a self-portrait, post it to flickr, and tag your friends with Add a Person.
Caught red-handed with my cocoa. Don't believe anything the mug tells you. I haven't even tried to drink coffee for about 20 years (although there was that nasty incident where I thought chocolate-covered coffee beans wouldn't be the same). You can even see the cocoa 'seasoning' on the inside rim of the mug. I'm not an addict. It's cool. *whistle*
