My sister’s been telling me for ages that she thinks I’ve got “hypothyroidism”, based on my slow metabolism, aching muscles, and sensitivity to cold. I didn’t take her too seriously. (We joke that she’s the family hypochondriac.) I saw it mentioned in a Glitter thread yesterday though and it prompted me to do some research. Reading this list of symptoms was like reading a description of myself. Pain between the shoulders, difficulty losing weight, always feeling cold, recurrent seasonal allergies and sinusitis, feeling depressed… plus I’ve got a family history of thyroid problems. I found a recommended specialist and made an appointment to get tested. It’s weird; I’m both dreading and hoping for a positive diagnosis. At least it would explain a lot, you know? And maybe I could feel better.

Okay, ‘fess up. One of y’all taped the Dawson’s Creek finale. You’ve got it; I want it. Let’s make a deal.

Sock Monkeys Update: Yes, I’m way behind. I know I owe about five monkeys to various people, and I haven’t forgotten you. It’s just that my friends’ oft-delayed wedding is not only suddenly back on, it’s happening in less than a month… and I still have a significant amount of quilting to do on their wedding present. I promise to get to them as soon as I can though!

That’s even funnier after a day like today. Just ask the Snook. He’s the one that had to clean up the half-inch of water standing in our dining room this morning. 🙁
