It's 12:05 AM....

And I am tired!

Corey and I looked at apartments while he was down in North Carolina. We found some near the UNC campus that we really like. The pet fee is ridiculous, though. We might have to hold off on getting our dogs. I should be doing my statistics homework right now but I'm not feeling the math currently. Corey and I had a "talk" the other night. Well, it was more like our first real argument. The strain of school and work is really getting to us both, and we take it out on each other, too. It ended well and we emerged stronger, which is good. We're back on track. I'm up here in Ohio right now. He's working a night shift so he can spend the days with me and work while I sleep so he can get a decent number of hours in without compromising our time together. He gets off at 7:00 AM. I'll be asleep by the time he gets home, but he can climb into bed with me when he gets here.

I think my new birth control is affecting me in a weird way. I have a mucho diminished appetite; I can only eat when I'm hungry. And here's the crazy thing: I will actually REFUSE food now. WHAT!?!! Since when have I ever refused food? I don't know. But I've lost 4 lbs, which makes me feel good about myself. Not that I need to lose weight in any way but maybe shrink my belly a bit by not always being stuffed with food. I feel good, but also I think it's affecting my libido. On Ortho Tricyclen, as the hormone dosage increased, I had a higher and higher libido. With Yasmin, the dosage is the same throughout the entire month (something I'm not used to.) One of the points Corey brought up in our argument was that our intimacy rate has dropped substantially in comparison to our usual rate. Once I actually thought about it I realized that he was totally right. I hadn't even realized it, but instead of maybe 14 times a week (I know that's a lot but we're young and not together all the time,) we're averaging 5 times per visit. That's nothing. That's straight pathetic, honestly. So he and I will work on that. If we determine it was just us and our schedules and stress levels then I'll rule out the new birth control as being the culprit. I don't want to give these new pills up; they're spectacular.

Time for bed.
