Taking Advantage

Sprained my foot at work yesterday. Bummer.

Luckily, it's my foot and not my ankle, which is a more complex area.

Even better, I was scheduled to start some vacation time today, so instead of losing the vacation time, I get the time off as paid disability time. Oh, lucky me.

Had my nails done. I rarely ever do my hands. No point. As a firefighter, my hands get so beat up, there's no room for foofy nails. Not even worth paying for a simple manicure. But today, since I'm off for the next few weeks, I did a gel wrap (as opposed to acrylic--I hate acrylic nails). They look great--very thin and natural looking. Had them put just a pinkish, clear coat over the top for a natural look. So far, the nail polish isn't even chipping, which seems to happen to me a lot, so....

Still booze and meds free.

Still happy, happy, happy.

Rover and I are driving up to Oregon to visit his sister this weekend. I'm looking forward to it.

Sex life has taken a happy turn, as the meds were making me anorgasmic and messing with my ability to get wet. Oh happy day. Sex is good again and not frustrating. Yay me. Read an article in the E.R. yesterday that says omega-3 fats and dark chocolate are good for sex life. Perhaps that's what's helping, too, as I starting taking loads of vitamins last week--flax seed oil among them.

Felt like having a drink the other night but abstained. It's getting more difficult to resist, but I like the way I'm feeling, so I'll keep it up. I have a tentative date with the Rabbit and GirlFriday on the 16th. We'll booze and smoke it up then. Haven't smoked in months and months (more than a year even?--can't remember).

Started my diet today. Meds also made me gain weight and unable to control my appetite (never felt full). Wanted a big plate of chow fun today, but came home and ate a big salad instead. Not as delicious or as satisfying, but, well, I'm tired of feeling fat. I'll have a yoghurt too, to satisfy the sweet tooth.

That's about it, I guess. Life is good. Even with a sprained foot.
