My Lumps, My Lumps

 My intensely frustrating lady lumps.  If you're not freaked by discussions of female health and want to know why I'm doing this, I've put the details in the black-out, just highlight to read it.

So I have PCOS, or Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome.  Basically ovary zits, for the lay-person.  It's very painful and it decided to flair up again recently, so today is going to be spent laying down doing absolutely the minimum of things that use any muscle in my entire torso.  Fun times, NOT.

This however swings a bit of an upside, as I'll be tied to my laptop today for my own sanity and can't wander away from it.  As a result, I'm updating the ever-loving schist out of my various blogs and sites and if you'd like to see a feature, like a launch page, or a word-count accountability tracker or something, just let me know.  I'm also done editing my Queer Writing Zine for this last June, but I can't get to the printer today (Grrr).  I'll put up a separate post for that in a little bit.

As always, prompts feed the muse even if I don't get to it right away.  Let me know what you want!

You have my sympathy on your flare up. Hmm prompts...

Something about dealing with self harm would be nice. Or for something less heavy, something about summer treats!

Hiya! On top of congenital heart defects, they're keeping an ultrasound eye on my ovaries too, next one Friday. Also prone to cysts, so I feel for you.

Came via ysabetwordsmith's fishbowl.

Prompts, and you mention Queer. Can you do agender, asexual, and/or aromantic? Genderfluid is also being discussed by the Kid. Something for a really smart tween.

I'm just gender queer, female bodied enough for troublesome ovaries, but really uncomfortable with things considered part of women's culture. The ONLY way I'm going to another bridal shower is if either of my nieces want me there. Last one I attended, I was completely out of place.

Oh hey, there you go, degender a ritual or rite of passage!
