So I have kinda good - kinda bad news. Last week I went to the doctor because I was having alot of tingling and aching in my hands and feet. I had a blood test done, and today I got the results. It turns out I have a very underactive thyroid. The reason this is good news is because it isn't something more serious like MS. And it also explained why I get headaches so often, why it's so hard to lose weight and so easy to gain it, why my hair and nails are brittle, and why I get depressed often. The bad news is that I now have to take medication every day for the rest of my life. There isn't really any side effects, and I can still drink and stuff ... but the fact that I have to take this every day just makes me feel unhealthy.
Also, at the same time I was getting my tonsels checked out because their permanently hudge, and they've really been bothering me lately. I'm being sent to a specialist, which makes me happy because I can finally get this bullshit dealt with.
What other news .... ummm. School starts on Sept. 4th, and I guess i'm excited for my final year. I'm planning on applying for nursing so that I can become a registered psychiatric nurse.

Throw away my misery, it never meant that much to me, it never sent a get well card.
