let's go red wings

What's new?

The Detroit Red Wings swept the Phoenix Coyotes last night and are now moving on to Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This is our 20th consecutive year in the playoffs. We are pretty much the bomb diggity.

I had a good day yesterday and even felt good about myself for a change, so I rewarded myself by staying up till 1am watching the game at Cheli's with Keith and some friends.  The last time I hung out with these guys was St. Patty's day when I had two breakdowns, and some random guy apparently wanted to take my picture while I was sobbing on Keith's shoulder. Good times.  But! I did not cry last night!  Success!

I pretty much cried all day on Tuesday, though, so yesterday was a nice change of pace.

I'm probably going to start using facebook again..My single-word post the other day was just to see who's out there. And, btw, none of you responded appropriately, although I should have written it better..  I was hoping to see "I'm a car" as a response. Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about.

It's actually really nice not checking facebook every day to see what others are doing, then worrying that you missed something so you spend an hour reading through everything in your newsfeed.  It's freeing.  But, I do miss seeing pictures (even the ones that I torture myself with) and I think I'm feeling ok enough to not post something depressing every day. Well, I feel ok enough today not to post something depressing. Can I just point out that I'm not crazy and babies/pregnancy-related things really are following me? I did look at facebook on Tuesday and what were the first things in my newsfeed? (Adorable) Baby bump pictures from that girl-that-I-really-like-and-we-were-supposed-to-share-our-pregnancies-together-but-I-just-had-to-ruin-it and a pic of an acquaintance's brand new baby girl, who is perfect, of course, and alive. The magic word.

I'm going to make this an extra long post, as I just received a call from my doctor. I had some bloodwork done last week to make sure all of my levels are ok. Apparently my thyroid is low. I'm not sure how low, but I now have an appointment this afternoon to find out.  I've been on thyroid medication for.. some amount of time now. A year? or two? And I honestly believe that either my thyroid or my medication for it is encouraging my depression(or whatever you want to call it), and both could be true according to the interwebs.  I'm not sure how long the medication stays in your system, but I'm pretty sure I forgot to take my pill on Tuesday (did I mention how bad my memory has gotten?). Tuesday ended up being a terribly bad day for me. Coincidence? I don't know.  I also think I might have forgotten to take a pill around the time I had the bloodwork done (maybe a few days before) so I wonder if that screwed up the test? We shall see. I'll let you know what's up after my appointment.
