Not to worry

First off, I just wanted to reassure you in blog-land that I wasn't thrown in jail for torturing my class. Surprisingly enough they were actually pretty good on Friday, perhaps because they were scared for their lives!

I've definitely hit some sort of wall. Mr. JB and I were trying to figure out if it was, in fact, all L.upron related. Thursday night I fell asleep on the couch at 9pm. I finally made it to our bed by 11:30pm and slept until my alarm went off at 5:30am. Friday night I literally fell asleep as Mr. JB was serving dinner. I slept from 8:30pm to 12:30am, got up to take a shower (yes, I am a night showerer and I can't sleep properly unless I have washed my hair), then slept until 7am. Yesterday I took a two hour nap in the afternoon, fell asleep on the couch from about 9:30 to 12:30 and then slept until 8:30am!

Needless to say, I've taken full advantage of the long weekend to catch up on my sleep!

I'm starting to notice some other L.upron related side effects. I've definitely gained some weight. Our digital scale at home is not working, so I weighed myself on my father-in-law's old fashioned scale and I'm definitely heavier. My clothes are starting to feel tight around my belly area and I just feel different. I know a big part of my weight gain can be attributed to having to curb my exercising since my lap. I used to practice yoga 3-4 times a week, and although I'm still going as often, I'm doing easier classes that aren't as strenuous.

So in order to curtail any more weight gain I bought a pedometer. I'm going to try to take at least 10 000 steps a day (I'm at 9 430 and I'm about to head to bed!). It should be pretty easy at work since I move non-stop at school. I also think that my grumpy moods have to do with lack of energy. I also start training for the local dragon boat race in a couple of weeks. It's the only team sport that I take part in and I absolutely love it. Yoga may be something that I've practiced for years, but my true love is being on the water. I dream one day of owning a house with a garage big enough for my own kayak. Some women dream of fancy jewelry, I dream of owning a kick-ass roof rack so I can transport my kayak to the lake!

Mr. JB and I have been at his dad's since yesterday and today we played tourist. We went to Niagara Falls and visited the new casino (he won $11 and treated me to S.tarbucks) and then we went for a walk to see the falls. My family used to visit the falls regularly, but I haven't been to see the actual falls in years! Mr. JB jokes that his family doesn't even look since they're from the area. Then we took a quick trip to the outlet mall and I scored the cutest dress. All in all we had a great day.

One last thing: I had half a glass of wine with dinner tonight. Mr. JB's uncle and cousin are visiting from Arizona and I wanted to partake since we were having a nice dinner. I searched on Dr. Google and I found that it was okay, although someone posted that alcohol made their hot flashes worse (I haven't had any hot flashes, on the contrary I've been freezing since I got my shot!). Am I allowed to drink while on L.upron?

Also, I seem to be making a ton of CM! I thought that L.upron was supposed to dry me all up. Is this normal?

Lastly, my injection site started to hurt again yesterday. I got the shot almost two weeks ago and it bothered me for a day and then nothing. What is up with that?
