PRIMARY: Less than one week go to now. YAY! I have purchased feminine protection for the LAST TIME EVAR (unless I pick some up for Trophy Wife). Do you know how liberating that feels? But more to the point, I won't have to delete one or two days every cycle from my calendar due to severe bleeding and pain that disrupts my life. The cyst will be gone, too, of course. Eighteen years of on-and-off torment will be over. Not nervous - just relieved at this point.

SECONDARY: My wife has misplaced her wedding ring. Currently, she's wearing my wedding ring on her necklace and wearing the rainbow gemstone ring I gave her on her left ring finger. I'm wearing my grandfather's old signet ring that I inherited on my ring finger so it's not naked. (I'm really fond of that ring, actually, and I'm sad that the only finger it fits is my left ring finger - my right ring finger is significantly larger at the knuckle, so it's an excuse to wear it.) HOWEVER, that got me thinking of something I've been considering for a while. I've thought about getting a wedding-band tattoo on my left ring finger. Cheesy, perhaps (although I've got a design in mind), but I like the idea of having something that nobody can remove from me. I'll have to take off my wedding band on Monday when I go in for surgery. If I have a wedding band tattoo, they can't remove it. My Trophy Wife supports this idea. I would never pressure her to get one - this is what I'm considering for myself. What do you folks think?

TERTIARY: I've broken past my snippet of writer's block, and I'm writing the last few scenes of my Star Trek Big Bang fic. This fic is rather overwhelming and huge, and I'm just hoping it works out the way I want it to. I shouldn't be nervous, but you know me - I am. I hope people will like it.

QUATERNARY: Really sick and tired of having religion thrown at me randomly, as if I should just simply accept it. And it's always Christianity I'm being force-fed. Random co-workers (not in my department - other departments), random folks around and about, businesses, Why, people? And how shall I respond? Shall I respect this obnoxious, in-your-face, you-must-agree attitude from people, or shall I fire back? Shall I tell them that it's not healthy for adults to cling to fairy tales? Shall I cluck my tongue and shake my head sadly because they haven't converted to (X) other religion? Shall I try to tell them of the joy of being a Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, or Pastafarian? Really, I can't just keep going along with this. I need a fair game plan of how I shall respond to future forceful intrusions of other people's religion on my life.
