what a great day.
I spent the morning driving Jaime and his friends to Holiday world, giving me a luxurious hour of listening to music and being by myself. I left the house around 8, and got back at 12, so it took up the majority of my day. After that, I took a shower and cut myself some insanely short bangs (yay for dull scissors and distracting puppies! :I) that, despite their crookedness, I actually kind of...

wanting.
It’s so odd, now, to have all of my hormones in order. After getting my thyroid regulated, it was like I gained my life back. I can’t even describe it. The minute it happened, I knew. Regulation is a slow process (it took me about nine months); for instance, when I gained back the feeling of hunger it was like I was rediscovering what it is to be alive. As soon as it was...

The Alot is an imaginary creature that I made up to help me deal with my compulsive need to correct other people’s...
