I had my first pap smear today.

Uhhhhhh. Not cool.

But, whatever. I was only supposed to consult the doctor about my birth control pills. I asked him if he thought it would be okay to get off them to see if my periods would come back naturally, and he said that would be okay, but to make sure I get back on them if they don't come back. He also scheduled another ultra-sound for me next Thursday. I had one last August to see if there were any tumors or growths on my ovaries preventing me from having periods normally, but there was nothing there. All they found was that my ovaries are enlarged slightly; I have no idea what that means in terms of health. But they just want to check up and make sure things are okay.

I also asked when I should start getting mammograms, seeing as my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother all had breast cancer. He said around 35 years old, but I kind of see that as a long time to wait. I dunno. Guess I'll just have to be really careful.

My dad fell off a ladder today, wtf. That's not the first time he's done that. He's an electrician, so I think he's inclined to, heh. Unfortunately, he brought part of the ceiling and a table with a large coffee brewer down with him. In a room with a bunch of people in it. Yeah, I would have died of embarrassment. But my dad's his own action hero, so.

woodstock_lover, I got your card today! So cute. Thank you! ♥

My heart, also, has been acting up this week since I'm so insanely tired. Wah. It's like I wasn't put together all correctly right when I was born. I have all these little things wrong with me. I demand a recall. :(

So it's bed early for me tonight.

ETA: Oh yeah. Robert is my boyfriend like whoa.
