My exciting life...

My life has been very exciting lately! I have done some things that I have never done before or I haven't done in a long time!

Never before...

*Smoked a cigar (strangely, I liked it! It didn't taste icky like cigarettes and it perked me up after excessive Indian food and booze...)
*Went to a poetry reading (Billy Collins...comic genius...)
*Went to a mediation session at a dharma center (the longest 40 minutes of my long life...)


Not for many many years...

*Got a perm (feedback from friends and colleagues was that perms was an all time hair low...some friends indignant at other perm haired friend for "leading poor Sarah astray"...(raising the question of who is to blame for all of my previous hair "styles"...))
*Went to a dance club (they have beds in dance clubs now!!)

Well, it is official. I am a hypochondriac loon. According to my doctor, the only hope (slight) is intensive yoga. Here are the diseases I don't have:

*Hypothyroidism (sadly...)
*AIDs (thankfully...but no surprise because the platelett people are always after my plateletts) (I don't want any comments from you politically correct folks out there saying that I should have written HIV, because if you have a yeast infection for 5 months and have the HIV virus, that is AIDs!)
*Diabetes (no surprise there...I don't think anyone in my family has ever had that...)
*Hypoglycemia
*Other diseases/conditions the doctor thought fit to test me for but did not bother to mention...

Questions the doctor asked me that confirmed my belief that he thinks I am a loon...

1. Do you feel like hurting other people?
2. What, you have a job? Where?

Question I asked him that he couldn't answer...

1. Is intensive yoga going to make my 5 month old yeast infection go away?
