Sigh.

It's Monday morning, and a thought occurs to me. I need to get laid. I'm really frustrated at this topic of marriage that I've been on for the last couple of days. It's been a Pandora's Box of sorts for me. I had no idea my parent's divorce bothered me this much. Honestly, I just had no clue that all these years later, it was an issue. I think we do this to ourselves sometimes, just shut the box, and walk away. You know, save ourselves mentally/emotionally.

I'll be doing some thinking on this myself, but for myself. I always thought I was happy they split, but I never saw the connection between a few things that happened then, and some feelings I have about the world now. I won't be discussing it anymore for awhile, but that's just how it goes. Ultimately, a good thing to be aware of, no doubt. I pride myself on being hyperaware of myself emotionally, being able to get a grip and self-analyse, but whew, once in a while a shock rolls along and this is that. There's probably some dead-mom issues rolled up in it, hence why I've been getting kind of militant on the topic.

I'm not too crazy about acting militant, either, so.

However, the real world beckons, in far too many ways. Right now, I'm staring down the barrel of another couple weeks of work without reprieve. I may cancel something this coming weekend if my sanity continues to deteriorate, but I live the kind of life right now where work comes in droves, or not at all, and the notion of "time management" is as ironic as it is impossible. It's time to end this shit and get back into the 9-5 for mental stability and, hey, maybe even a social life! But obviously one doesn't snap fingers and see a presto-chango-better life result. That said, finding work has never been that hard for me, just a matter of whether the job I want is out there. Fact is, I know I'll have a job I like before summer rolls around -- and that's all that matters. Summertime Steff needs stability and lotsa cash in her pockets.

I'll probably post something tomorrow about a conversation I'll be having with a doc about getting an IUD. I've been on the pill for a few months now, having quit it a few years back when it was doing strange things to me, and I've been unhappy with it ever since. In fact, I went completely nuts when estrogen sent me into la-la-land back in October, and I'm longing to be back to my old self. Granted, it's been a lot better since October, when I switched to low-dose Alesse, but I have to confess: my sensitive regions aren't as sensitive as they used to be. It's wrong to lose sensitivity on the vagina or any other place. What fun is masturbation? Anyhow, I'll report on the conversation and maybe share some enlightenment for those considering the same move. The pill sucks, man. Jesus.
