Braaaaains.

Today I am the Zombie Mris. I managed all kinds of useful things, but at a cost, yah, for sure you bet, a cost. The doctor and I talked about changing my birth control and having a couple more tests run, and she took blood again. I am still not a turnip. A zombie, sure, but not a turnip. These things are good to know. Whatever is wrong with me, it is not Incipient Turniposis. So no one will have to lob me at any editors, which is also a relief, for me (as well, I feel sure, as for the editors). One of the tests is scheduled for next Wednesday and the other has yet to be scheduled.

Four of you (three households) have packages coming. Bunches of you have Christmas cards coming. My Christmas card list is not based on how much I love you. It is largely based on whose address I have. If I don't have your address, you don't get a Christmas card for sure. Sometimes you don't anyway. Sorry. This is what I can do for now.

I managed to make supper, mostly. The bread machine bread did not rise properly and did not bake through, but I didn't have anywhere near the energy to knead bread today, and I expect not to have the energy to knead bread again tomorrow. So I will try another thing with the bread machine, or I will pick up bread on my way back from getting the windshield replaced, or we will go without bread.

Often my lack of energy has been purely physical. Today, as you may be able to tell, it is not. But there have been good things, two Christmas presents in the mail, time with people, books. So.

Aww. Not even a little lobbing?

Are you on Ortho Tricyclen by any chance? I'm willing to blame Tricyclen for any evil that might ever befall a human being, including turnoposis and zombiedom.

No, I can't take triphasic birth control. I either don't have periods at all (and isn't that fun when you're first married and have to go pee on a stick every few weeks) or they last 12 days each. So the evil that befell me on Ortho Tricyclen was swift and obvious enough that I fled it.

Yes, but you'll be a zit FREE zombie.

Er.

Given your background in physics, perhaps you already know what the most commonly quoted line from the movie "Night of the Living Dead String Theorists."

Of course, it was "Branes!"

Some of us don't have your address and would like to. Could you send it to me in email please? (LacewingAgate1 at AOL dot com.) I'm waiting until we get back to write out Christmas cards, but we've already bought some, so they WILL go out. You're waaaay ahead of the game, from my point of view.

Heh. Oh dear.

This time of year, I find myself muttering physics carols under my breath to the Muzak in stores. Sigh.

Sent just now. Let me know if you don't get it, and we'll re-send.

I'm sorry to hear there's no good news in figuring out what's wrong, but am very pleased that you are not a turnip. Hang in there.

Come to think of it, while selecting b/c, you might want to steer clear of Loestrin. That's my best guess as to what caused me to go up a couple of cup sizes (in my 30s, without other noticeable weight gain).

Lord Lord. That is useful data to have.

Thanks. We're trying.
