No longer a cyborg…Last night I had Dr. Chin remove my Implanon. I’ve had it for just over six months. (Here’s the insertion story, if anyone wants to relive it.) NO, I didn’t get it taken out because I want to have babies. The truth is just that the level of hormones it delivers wasn’t…

Replacement iPhone procured!Today was my third day of attempting to purchase an iPhone 4. Monday and Tuesday were both completely sold out. Today I got there when they opened at 8am to see a queue stretching around the building. On one hand, YAY, they must have stock! On the other hand, MASSIVE QUEUE. I joined…

Week 37I left this a bit late… because the big race is tomorrow! I’m just about ready to go. Thankfully my cold passed within a week without too much drama, and it never moved into my lungs. (I credit several “hot whiskeys” from a sympathetic barman last weekend.) I’ve had massages each of the last…
