So I switched from a megalomaniac-like corporation to a small conglomerate over the past few weeks and I have to say, the switch it good.  I get free stuff every month!  WOOOHOOO!!!

Sorry I haven’t posted, ladies and gents, but I’ve been busy.  First off, the job was sucking the life out of me, and second I have a slew of medical atrocities.  The good, the bad, and the ugly shall follow.  The Good: phlebitis.  It’s a somewhat painful condition where the superficial veins in your skin get inflamed, it’s like a bloodclot only simpler, less painful, and less deadly.  Yeah, that’s the best thing right now.  The Bad:  I have the heterogeneous factor five condition, a gene mutation in which I am 8% more likely to recieve bloodclots, but it could be worse, I could have both genes which would make me 50% - 100% more likely to recieve bloodclots and that’s what my nephew has.  The Ugly: I have lose 100 lbs, 8 lbs a month, 2 lbs a week.  Why?  Because my PCOS symptoms will diminish and the risk of diabetes will be less ominous and all around I will be healthier.   So I said I’d opt for surgery, but one, I’m too young, and two, I have factor five.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying being overweight is bad, even that being morbidly obese is bad.  As long as you’re happy with who you are and what size you are, that’s cool, but I happen to not be very happy and not very healthy.  I wheeze when going up one flight of stairs, but that could be because I smoke.  Yeah, that’s another thing I have to stop because I’m on birth control and I smoke and with the factor five, that’s not a very good combo.

And there you have it.  My life in a nutshell.  Can my medical problems be any worse?  Yeah I guess they could be.
