    I’ma label this as TMI just in case lol

    Title

    I had a pap smear last week, my first one ever (I’m 31, I know I should have had it waaaaay earlier) and I still feel weird as heck down in there. Doc was lovely, absolutely no complaints, but I am most certainly not a fan of the process. When I pulled my dacks back up and sat down again, she placed the smear stick thing on her desk, and the end was red - gave me the heebies. She asked if I bleed a bit during sex, which I do and said yes, but I thought it was just little tears. Apparently my cervix is swollen. Go figure.

    I should apparently get my results in another week or something.

    In other news, my cat is so damn cute! Here’s a pic of him mid-yawn with his pretty white belly, he lets me pat his belly without losing his mind (mostly haha)

        TMI response

        He has, often. All the time. I just thought because I’m ‘small’ and he’s 6" erect, that I was just tearing slightly. We get a bit… Rough lol

        I actually went for the pap because I my periods are wildly irregular and heavy.

        I’m getting tested for gonoreah and chlamydia because she noticed the swolleness, just in case. If I have either, I’m 100% blaming my slutty abusive ex lol

    My son is away at his end of primary school camp. This is day 2/4 (so he’s only been away one night). It’s pretty hot over this side of the island this week. The call has just been made: They’re evacuating the kids due to the heat.

    These kids are going to be devastated. They’ve been fundraising for and talking about this camp all year, the build-up has been massive. I was there with the kids yesterday morning and they were super excited as a group in way I haven’t really seen since they were all 6-7 years old. Coincidentally, tomorrow is his 12th birthday and is the day the kids were all going to the waterslide park. He was especially looking forward to that.

    Instead, he’s coming home this afternoon. No clue as yet if they will be able to do anything (eg. refunds/camp later/excursions etc) to make it up to these kids.

      My aunt over in WA told me about the extreme heatwave declaration as well, at first I thought high 30s/low 40s isn’t that unusual for Perth. Then I remembered it’s not even December yet, and it’s apparently kind of come out of nowhere. Real bummer for those kids, but I guess it’s a Teachable Moment… hopefully you can find a way to make up for it at home for your son at least. Maybe next week?
