geminigirlNews about health related stuff and news about my love life follows...
If you're following my health, you can
If you're following my health-saga, you know what happened earlier this week. So, here's what I now know...
1. It's not strep. I got those results a little while ago.
2. The TB test looks weird. Not positive reaction kind of weird, but not negative reaction kind of weird either. Instead of being a white bump, that itches (which is normally how I've reacted) I have a weird, blotchy reddish-purple spot, without much bump, and without any itch. It gets read tomorrow, but someone suggested today that it almost looks like it wasn't done right. I'll see tomorrow. If it wasn't done right, it will have to wait til next week to be repeated.
3. I called to get my strep results. They wouldn't give me bloodwork results over the phone. This scares me. They gave me strep results. They called and left a message when my gonorrhea and chlamydia results were in and negative...why won't they give me the bloodwork? How am I not supposed to panic here...
I should hear something about the bloodwork tomorrow. That seems like a long time to wait right now.
And for those of you interested in my love life...
I've been with gf #1 for about a year and a half. Lately, planning for things that are a year or more off has happened. And I'm sort of not quite all together about that. I can't even see past next month sometimes...let alone to next fall. Anyway, one of the things we often do together is to watch DVDs. She's decided to get us a <a href="www.netflix.com> Netflix </a> account together. Not that it's a huge commitment or anything, but it goes along with the not being able to plan past next month sometimes. I'm not sure what I'm feeling about that...but it's kind of fun and cool to have someone in my life thinking that far ahead.

Date: 2002-06-13 10:21 am (UTC)re gf #1: i need you to explain something to me about how you do poly, i think. actually this question may be totally superfluous if there's something specific to your relationship with gf #1 that would cause you not to be able to see past next month with her. but assuming for the moment that that is not the case (since nothing you wrote above really indicates that), why would you not be able to say: since (i, geminigirl) am poly so that meeting other people who interest me does not preclude a relationship with gf #1 and since all is well with gf #1, gf #1 and i are good to go for the foreseeable future? i mean sure, whomever one hooks up with can get hit by a bus (avert, avert) or suddenly reveal that they think that they are the second coming of Elvis or whatever--things can change rapidly for the worse in a relationship and don't i know it! but why would you not be looking down the road thinking: might change jobs, might go to school, might do this or that, but barring sudden outbreaks of "love me tender," gf and i can hang together for a while, here.
hmmm--that turns out to be a fairly personal question--feel free to tell me to go jump in a lake. in any case, i think that it sounds nice to be thought of in a long term context (so there's my bias hanging out for all to see) so congratulations!

Date: 2002-06-13 10:56 am (UTC)2. Actually, wrt not being able to see past next month it's all about me...there's no reason in the relationship for it, it's all about me, and being afraid to plan long term w.r.t. relationships at the moment...sort of living waiting for the ball to drop for the last couple of years. It's nice to be with someone not in that mindset...who is actively planning for the next year, instead of me with goals and dreams but no solid timeline. It's not a bad thing that she's doing it...it's just different from me...and I'm okay with it, just not used to it.
