when i went home, mum gave me some glucosamine sulphate tablets to take. since then, my knee hasn't creaked, nor my hands. i hadn't actually been having trouble with my hands this winter, but i'm always frightened i will, since a few years back when they ached. it wasn't fun. it's why i wear fingerless gloves.
i forgot to hand in my learning journal, two weeks on the run. i now won't have a lesson for a week and a half, so i've got time to edit it a bit. i can't remember if i mentioned it, but we talked about LJs the other week and D said he didn't really mind what was in them, as long as it was useful to me (paraphrasing of course).
this was meant to be a short post about a couple of things i forgot. does anybody get annoyed at teeny posts, and want me to edit instead? it occurred to me i could, but by then i'd already been typing. <lazy helzy.
cold hands now. need heater and gloves, and maybe a nice cup of tea :)
isn't it nice when you can plan LJing as part of your actual work? that's what's so great about the Learning Journal shtuff.
okay i really am going now.

one unforseen bonus to the glucosamine may be a lack of period-related back pain; i'm not certain, because i took a yellow pill as a precaution before a three hour band rehearsal, but i didn't have the usual warning signs; felt impressively pain-free and cheery. it usually makes me tired and bloaty, feeling like i need the loo all the time to release the pressure, and that somehow transforms into incredible pain up and down my spine, and kind of spreading from there. so i try to avoid that. my flatmate seems to have something similar and i have asked her to please go to the doctor about it, even if she can't swallow pills, because it was so simple to fix for me - she may be in luck, and that's an extra day a month she can be doing useful/exciting things. but yeah, glucosamine may also do it, which was the original point of this paragraph.
my period has been unusually heavy, and i've had to take iron tablets two days running now. i say unusually; i may be simply returning to standard after having been on the pill, but i seem to remember the periods becoming lighter when i turned eighteen. as such, this is the heaviest one i've had in, um, two years.
and it's still not as unpleasant as the ones i had in my gcse years. i didn't realise i was anaemic, i thought i was just lazy/not getting enough sleep, and forced myself to go to school, and get to all my lessons, and try to concentrate, even though every step was painfully difficult. i felt like lead. hah, people wonder why i'm not as pale any more.
ETA: this is possibly why i don't think much of some peoples' idea of what "commitment" is.
