Jan. 17th, 2014 07:26 pmI made a doctor's appointment finally. The doctor they selected for me is older than the last few--I google-stalked her and discovered that she graduated as an undergrad in 2006. I can't expect her to tell me that I'm "not overweight" (the last nice thing a doctor told me) but hopefully she'll prescribe me some albuterol inhalers. It's a shame they changed the propellant (something to do with the ozone layer), I don't think the new ones work as well. They should check to see what those CFC propellants are doing in our lungs, that shit felt nice.
Will I have the courage or time to bring up mental health issues? I have diagnosed myself with mild anxiety/depression/rage issues, which most people don't see, except for my ravaged fingernails and hefty recycling contributions:

And then there's the possibility that they'll discover some other interesting ailment with their routine tests! High cholesterol? Enlarged prostate? Is my asymmetrical body hair a symptom of anything?

It's the waning days of the cosmos. They still wave in the breeze, tricking me that a person is walking by the window when I'm in the kitchen internetting.

The point-and-shoot camera I bought earlier this year does not provide the sharpest images I've ever captured, but I consider that an exchange for the fact that the camera is waterproof and shock resistant. I'm a world-class klutz, and tend to drop and spill things. But the camera isn't too bad. Now that I've figured out how to adjest the ASA and manual focus, I can get some halfway decent macros. Here's a bumblebee pollinating a raspberry flower, late in the season.

We went to Lost Pond Reservation on this gorgeous spring day and took some nature macros and such.
The dark outgrowths on the sticks at the top are the tent moth egg masses.

This Sunday we went to Hammond Pond Reservation not on a rainy day, but instead on one of the most beautiful New England days possible.
