Those are very long days, msbelle.

I am taking Friday off to help with science fair at the twins' school. And then to take Grace to the GI. And then science fair again that night. Then mammogram the next day.

My life is EXCITEMENT CENTRAL.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had a male vegetarian friend when I lived in Greece, and he had someone ask him if he was still able to have sex, despite not eating meat.

I know several vegan guys who've said that people have asked them this. Also, whether eating tofu makes them grow breasts.

Because books.

Are people doing sexy stuff I don't know about? Aside from swallowing, which seems like it would matter more to your partner from a vegan's perspective (in terms of consent), how are eating and sex related?

This could be one of those things I don't want to know, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, well, soy=estrogen, the internet says so.

Eating meat is a manly thing to do. Vegetarians, therefore, become impotent. I think is the reasoning.

Wow, people are weird.

Agreed. No one ever asked me that when I was vegetarian, though.

I managed to switch over most things from former doc earlier in the week, except for my records. But that means mammogram got moved to a new office and moved up to tomorrow. I am, as always, a bundle of nerves, with added not-wanting-to-be-needy or whatever. Here's hoping it goes smooth for you, Kat, and for me too. Then, next week, exciting routine bloodwork. I feel like I should get a sticker that says 'I am being a mother-f*cking adult.'

Could I get some ~ma for an eye test I have tomorrow morning? An early test showed me as being at high risk for macular degeneration, and I'm re-testing tomorrow to see if the pigment levels in my retina are stable or not.

eye-test~ma, Anne.

And mammogram~ma for Kat. And for me too, if I haven't used up all my ~ma.
