hathycolI am not the best advertisement for the coil right now. So, the actual insertion hurt like a motherfucker, for lack of a more appropriate term. It hurt like hell, involving me yelping in pain at one point. Turns out that my uterus was pointed the wrong way because of my period starting that day, or something like that? Either way, VERY BAD UNGOOD.
Richie walked me to the bus stop, where I rocked back and forth and then cried a little bit on a bus with how much it hurt. I spent the evening curled up with a hot water bottle and some codeine. The next few days were really jolly painful but I just powered through. The best metaphor I had was that an angry seagull was attempting to peck its way out of my uterus, which was possibly also a metaphor for the amount I was bleeding.
Anyway, here we are nearly a fortnight later and I am still bleeding, although the cramping has eased off mostly; just a couple of aches a month. I am mostly, at the moment, assuming that all the periods I haven't had for the last year are happening ALL AT ONCE.
Apart from all of that ickiness, my moods are a bit all over the place. I keep getting arbitrarily tearful, so I'm trying to do happy things. Last weekend I saw Iona and Tali and we spent hours in a pub near Euston, chatting about stuff (how to punch people FOR SCIENCE, scrofula, other things!) and enjoying each others company, which made me feel better.
This week in work has been intensely busy as I am covering for someone else's job, but I finished college! Finished! Forever! Soon I shall be officially qualified, as soon as I get my certificate through. This is a mercy and I have no intention of going back to that college. I will perhaps get the next level of qualification when I can face the thought of Yet More Education, but not right now. I'm liking having my weekends back! We went out for dinner after college on Tuesday and I decided that I am... er... not going to miss the majority of the class, if I'm honest.
Also this week I work I won the monthly prize for People and Community, which is exciting, as it was for all of Hitachi Consulting EMEA, which is QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE, and covers, you know, a third of the world. Gosh. I won for my work on Ladies Yay, which made things a bit awkward when I had not one but two Ladies Yay meetings with people who do a great deal more for the wider organisation. Ah well. They were interesting meetings, and the one on Thursday night consisted of gently drinking wine on the South Bank at a pop up bar. Yeah, my life isn't too bad sometimes.
Although, super annoyingly, I have missed out on tickets for Saturday at LFCC because I was waiting until payday. Bah.

(I am starting back to school July 1, summer classes - I only need six more classes to finish my two-year degree in General Studies, so I'm taking two of them in summer and four in the fall - which is also a good thing but less glee-inducing. ^_^)
