LJ, why you do this?!
Sep. 7th, 2011 11:14 amLJ keeps eating the post I'm trying to make, so I'll try to make it brief, because my posts are deleted as soon as I try to use the goddamn Cut Wizard (or do it manually in HTML).
I haven't posted lately because I'm depressed, but I'm depressed (at least in part) because of vitamin deficiencies. I won't buy more vitamins because the only ones that have all the stuff I'm deficient in are "women's" vitamins, and I'm stubborn.
I started but quit an exercise program due to being a complete wimp. Which is to say, I have no endurance and may not know how to do a proper pushup. But I might try again when I'm less sick.
I went to my first doctor's appointment on my new insurance to get my prescriptions refilled, and it went very poorly. The doctor was pushy about me not getting a Pap because I'm over 21, despite not having any risk for exposure to HPV. But the doctor didn't seem concerned that I was ignoring a chronic condition that I've had to have surgery for in the past, and she tried to prescribe me a dangerous medication without mentioning the risks. At least she didn't blatantly assume I was a lesbian. And to add insult to injury the insurance company sent me a letter saying that I hadn't picked a primary care doctor yet, which was bullshit because I'd just had an appointment with one. No, the letter went on to say that all females over 18 enrolled in the plan had to also pick a gynecologist, and if I didn't pick one, they'd pick one for me. If they do, I will call and complain, but I doubt I can do much more than that.
I also went clothes shopping because it's colder in San Francisco than it is in Los Angeles, and I was consistently read as a non-binary gender. It was great, except for one salesperson who seemed to think that queer was contagious.
Anyway, I'll be catching up on LJ when I'm not obsessively watching this.
Edited for more LJ code fail. No clue what's going on here.
