What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
CM, if you want to sharpie your eyebrows on, don't be dissuaded by anyone. Just Do It!

Surfing the net at 6:30 AM thinking if I can do these online college courses in computer science I can start to make something of my life. I've been pathetic for too long.

There are 7 CS jobs posted for every 5 filled (at least here in TN).

You should do it if you can!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Thanks, SteelCurtain! I put in a request for info at the college, I'm waiting for them to get back with me. I have some small doubts that I can handle it. It depends on the workload. I have some mental health issues that have improved recently. That's why I haven't done much with my life so far.

Mainly I would like to start out in some sort of tech support. I have always enjoyed helping family members with their issues with computers and electronic devices, even though I don't really have any technical skills yet.

Also I'm interested in computer repair/maintenance. A few years ago my old computer's hard drive was damaged in an electrical storm. When the guy we have locally pulled all the info off of it and put in a new hard drive, it seemed like magic to me. I thought about how cool it would be to be able to do that.

If you ever need a laugh, google "eyebrow sharpie". Smile
My brows are quite light and I pencil them in - very carefully, though (and without a Sharpie!), after seeing some of those pics lol

Odds on whether or not she has a "No Regrets" tattoo?

...odds that it's actually "No Regerts?" Devil

I think it's incorporated none too artistically into her tramp stamp.

Side note: I've been thinking that if I decide to not to reconstruction, I might do a small chest tattoo on the left (the cancer side) that in some way incorporates the words "Not today" as in, "what do we say to the god of death?"

But 'tis still under consideration since I haven't 100% decided on reconstruction options yet.

Nonsense, people will always get cancer, there's no use in depriving yourself of things that you enjoy because of it.

Another side note: Another tattoo I've comically considered if I choose no reconstruction: Two upward-facing arcs and two strategically placed circles.  Tongue

Bedtime, goodnight all.
Tomorrow I think I'll check out the Bermuda triangle x-files episode and see if I can become even more atheist. :-)

This is the first day post-diagnosis that I legitimately hate my life.

This is the first time in more than 12 years I'm having a period unrestrained by birth control and

it's.

fucking.

awful.

I'm remembering all the reasons why I went on birth control in the first place and am hating that fucking cancer has forced me to go off of it and that this "menopause-inducing" medication they have me on now hasn't kicked in.

Do you think I could ask the docs to remove my uterus while they remove my boobs?  I'll pay out of pocket for it.  Seriously.  If I've got another 20-30 years of this ahead of me then take that fucking organ out of me, I'm not using it anyway and it's only making me miserable.  Make it part of the first uterus transplant.  Give it to someone who wants a kid or is one of those freaks who likes having a period because it reminds them that they're a woman.  Bullshit.  I have two X chromosomes, that's more than enough for me.

That shit would make me cranky for sure.  Get a sneaker ready.  The next person through the door gets it, no exceptions.  You'll feel better.

Me, just got back from pilates class. Man this shit is tough. Too many muscles complaining all the time. I do the recline exercycle for a half hour after, enough to keep my heart rate at or above 100 bpm.

On a positive note, I stopped and got a coffee and a banana & chocolate chip vegan scone on the way home. The Y is slightly more than a half mile uphill from me so that gives me a warm up before pilates and downhill grade coming home after cycling.

If I can keep this up maybe I'll start to feel springy again. Got the weight off, now I want to be light on my feet and nimble again.
