Getting excited as I see my story’s finish line approaching! Just 8k words left to go to be eligible to win NaNoWriMo. Gotta start tying up loose ends and bring everything together soon enough. Kyla’s Secret will be available to read once it’s edited. 

Getting worried about my top editor whom I haven’t heard from in more than just a few days and was having problems when we last spoke. 

Really hope nothing’s wrong here. The dining room light flickered every few minutes. I switched to the kitchen light and it’s doing the same thing. 

Nane took off on vacation for a week. After we chatted about Krankheiten und anderes dinge and I laughed at how she thought of me when she saw pink limos she thought were ugly, we said our goodbyes and then I realized something… every time my beloved German hottie takes off something big seems to go down with me and it’s usually not in a good way. *nibbles fingertips fearfully* Hurry back, Mädchen! 

Found some negative reviews on my Endo doc. Not just star ratings this time, but a couple of comments. Mostly it was to bitch about the lack of staff friendliness, but I still think she seemed to know her stuff and that’s more important than smiles and friendliness. Sure, a smile and a sense of humor here and there would be nice, but her job is to adjust my meds so I don’t end up in a myxedema coma. 

It is scary, though, just how many quack doctors there are out there. So many seem to be incompetent just as much as in any other field. I read up on how one woman was told by her doctor that you “don’t take thyroid medication forever” and was told to stop her meds. In fact, thyroid disease is chronic and permanent. Well, she stopped and her body shut down and she nearly died. It may very well not kill you or turn cancerous if you never take medication, but the symptoms would no doubt worsen and be a bitch to live with. 

Andy cracked me up earlier, saying that I should've checked the reviews before seeing her and that if it’s hot that’s all the rating I need. LOL, but I didn’t pick her. My primary did. And she’s not “hot.” Yeah, there’s kinda something appealing about her appearance, but hell, I’ve always liked the older woman that you wouldn’t exactly find on the cover of a beauty magazine. I’ve never been into what most people consider “attractive.” Of course I can appreciate the beauty of a supermodel and others considered to be hotties, but I see them the way I see flowers and butterflies. They’re pleasant to the eye but they don’t usually stir my libido. And yes, married or not, devotedly in love or not, we’re all human and we will always meet people throughout our lives we’re attracted to. There’s no beating human nature.
