Bye Bye Iron

I haven't felt good lately. A couple months ago my birth control got swapped without warning from a 4-day placebo pack to a 7-day placebo pack, and it's been a nightmare. I'm on birth control because I bleed a LOT without it. Limiting my period to 4 days keeps me from becoming anemic again. 7 days is too long, and this time it was really bad. I've become exhausted, dizzy, lacking energy, and constantly fatigued. I haven't been painting anything, though I still went to Ceramics. Thankfully I've been put back on 4-day packs so this hopefully won't happen again. In the meantime I've been taking iron supplements.

FUN FACT!: If I'm not on any birth control whatsoever, I bleed 15-20 days a month.

I also have been really antisocial. I know that's a bad thing, but I just literally don't have the patience right now. I'm just exhausted.

Tomorrow a cleaning service is coming to clean the main floor, which means I need to clean my own space. The fatigue hasn't helped me any, but I just emptied both of my garbage cans and my recycling bin. I still have to:

  • Vacuum the reptile room
  • Vacuum my room
  • Clean sink countertop
  • Clean sink mirror
  • Clean toilet
  • Feed the frogs
I don't think I can get that all done tonight, but I guess I can at least try...

Oh, and it's been impossible to take photos for the new shop because it's been raining or hazy every fucking day. Waiting and hoping for a clear sunny day.

Working on my own rabbit-head design, but still need practice to get the measurements right.
