Intestines: Why do you hate me so much? :(

[logansrogue]

Well, after another marathon bowel movement that would have made even Freddie Mercury wince, I had to relax and recouperate. I do what I always do when I'm under the weather in the slightest way: I immerse myself in water.

I am such a mermaid like that. I love baths. I couldn't live without them. I love filling up a tub nearly to the top and just sitting there, feeling all the weight drip off my body. I love the way my hair floats and drifts and feels ten times softer than when it's dry and hanging limp at my head. And when I get out I'm all warm and tingly sedate. Everything feels soft and fluffy and cuddly. Times like this I need a boyfriend to cuddle in my freshly clean state, I think. I have a cat, that'll do.

But my guts still feel tender and ouchy. I wish I had a pill that would make me numb from the neck down and not give me massive headaches two days after I've used them. I hate having to stay in the toilet that long, too. I really feel like my hours are wasted, being in pain and screaming like that.

The cat was a comfort. I really love my little Rogue. No, really. Like, you know those nappy ads with "It must be love, love, love"? Well, I was sitting in the bath and the cat was sitting next to me and that music fit perfectly because she was being so painfully fucking cute and licking the water off my hands and giving me love eyes. So cute it would make your brain melt out your ears.

And at one point when I was drying myself off, she tilted her head and touched my mole on my hip. I think she thought it was a bug or something - too cute. That sort of inquisitiveness really surprises me. She's ten months old and she's still curious about the world. It'll be sad when that eventually fades. *sigh*

I'm going to play Sims for a while and go to bed, I think.

One last bit of blogging: I almost love watching the news these days. Every day John Howard has done something else to make people think he's a giant douchebag that really shouldn't be leading the country. I mean, if Labour, in the limping, messed up state that they're in today (let's face it, it's not their glory days, is it?) can come out ahead of Liberal, who've basically been chained to the big podium for the last ten years, you KNOW you have severe problems and that you're FUCKING UP BADLY. Labour don't need to run a campaign. They just have to sit there and let Howard do all the hard work.

I do keep feeling the need to remind people that Labor, in its limping, messed up state, is actually still in the position of currently being the most successful an Australian political party has ever been at the National State level (no party had ever held all the states and territories before). That said, yes, the Federal party has seen better days, but its also seen much worse.

Lets hope Howard continues to fail to dent Rudd.

Heh. To do that, all he has to do is to continue breathing!

I love baths, too!!! I often joke that I spend more time in the bath than I do sleeping. And my little Merlot-bean often comes to sit with mummy during the bath, too! I think he's concerned that I'll drown.

*hugglation* I hope your tummy feels better soon!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Cats are funny like that, aren't they?

My tummy still hurts, but it's my bladder causing ouchies this time. *sigh*

Okay, hang on, let me upload them. My pokemans.

I AM ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING! SRSLY!

The pokeman cat is my favourite lolcat. :D

Hi. I'm from harryhermione, and you commented on my comment with an insult. I understand it might have been a misunderstanding, but it seriously sucked.

I wasn't be sarcastic when I said I could have sworn Ron/Hermione got together at the end of HBP and that I needed to get my memory check. I was making a joke about my stupidity.

[krystalgamer.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I don't understand why I'm banned.

Thanks.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Again - I thought you were causing trouble, you're not, obviously. Now that I know you're not, you're back to member (can post) status. So very sorry about all this.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm really sorry about that, and I apologise most profusely. All of us mods are on tenderhooks at the moment because of the book release - please understand that it was me misreading the text and nothing personal. I'm just trying to protect the community, not piss you off.

I'll fix things up. Again - I am SO so sorry.

[krystalgamer.livejournal.com]

It's alright ^_^ I understand, misunderstandings happen.

You were just trying to protect the com.

Anyways, thanks!

Gosh, what is wrong with you? Is it just irritable bowel? Surely you don't have to live like that! Maybe I could recommend a dietician that helped me a lot with my IBS.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I did see a dietician. I changed my diet but I still have the cramps and stuff. I think it's linked to the endometriosis, and there's not a lot I can do about that, I'm afraid. :(

I should also avoid spaghetti. I'd been fine with it lately but just having what I did yesterday has been awful.

[helen-jess.livejournal.com]

Gosh, I don't know much about endometriosis. You poor thing,that must really interfere with your life. Have you ever considered seeing a naturopath? I know they can be a bit dodgy, but the ones at Val Allen's clinic are pretty good. The only problem is the money and that's why I stopped going.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I don't have the money for naturopaths, sadly. I'm going to talk to my GP about going on the pill, though.

It's definitely changed my life but I'm okay with it. It's kinda made me stronger in a lot of ways.

[helen-jess.livejournal.com]

Its great that you're so positive about it all. I'm sure I'd just collapse into a blubbering heap if I had so much pain.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I thought I wouldn't be able to cope. I collapsed into blubbering heaps quite a few times. There's only so many times you can throw up your hands in despair, and you kinda get used to a certain level of pain. The good thing is that you enjoy healthy days WAY more than you do when you're healthy. It's not a nice experience and I'd have preferred not losing two years of my life to it, but I kinda feel that I gained in some things I never would have expected to. And I still have my hands and my recording equipment, so I can still do the creative things that make me happy.

Trust me - in the same situation, you'd probably be the same. Just as 'strong'. :)
