Today I was vaccinated for our upcoming Asia trip. In just over two weeks P and I will be arriving in Bangkok and exploring much of Thailand and Indonesia and possibly Laos for 16 days. I am excited, but the nurse who vaccinated me today managed to scare the crap out of me along with making my arm hurt like crazy. I am basically convinced now that I will be ridden with malaria and rabies by the time I return. Remind me not to pet any stray Thai dogs. Because I can promise you I will want to.
Does malaria make you lose weight?
I finished my last pack of birth control pills, which is kinda of funny and freaky and weird. Spent my first 35 years trying successfully not to get pregnant, can't imagine it is that easy for your body to just switch gears. I will be 35 in a couple weeks, which, in baby-making land, is considered advanced age. In addition, I have polycystic ovary syndrome. I have a feeling that this is either going to happen super easy and fast for us, or that we're screwed and should consider picking up a baby girl or two whilst in Asia. Either way, I feel suddenly very grown up and as if my being suddenly has purpose. I am not used to having a purpose.
