swimming pools and movie stars

i haven't done anything in like 3 weeks. i go to work (on days when i CAN make it to work), then come home and sleep. i'm still always extremely exhausted, and haven't noticed any difference since i've been taking the iron. the bf and i used to go out to dinner or meetup with friends for drinks at least a week. now, we lay around and watch a lot of movies. i thought about going to lay by the pool over the weekend, figuring that would still involve lying around, but i was just too tired to walk down there.

i had an echocardiogram this week. basically, an echo is like an ultrasound of your heart. you can see the ventricles and atriums and the blood flowing in and out on a little tv screen. i felt like i was watching a tv show starring my heart. and if i may so, my heart is quite the thespian.



out.

iron (wo)man

my blood tests came back showing i have iron deficiency anemia. from what i've been told, normal iron numbers for women my age are between 150-250. my number? three. yes, three. so, i have to take iron pills for the next 6 months or so. they make me kinda sick, so i'm not looking forward to that.

more later.
