The Patch

I found this link on somebody else's blog and I found it pretty funny. I guess I've been pretty lucky because I've never really had to deal with this sort of stuff (or I guess I should say that the people around me have been lucky) but something is happening as of late. I feel like I cry every single day... Maybe I don't, but it's what I feel. I suppose it has to do with good ol' birth control. Two months ago I started using "the patch". It's really interesting, almost weird, sticking a patch on, when you're used to associating patches with cigarettes and nicotine. Not to mention the fact that I often wonder if it really works and how. I wonder if they'll come up with a birth control gum. That would be interesting.

These days I suppose it's becoming much more common for people to become pregnant before marriage. I'd probably get kicked out of my house if that happened. Not that I live at home, but still... Today I found out that an unmarried girl at work is 3 months pregnant. I mean its not like she's a teenager, she's 28 or something, but I don't know. I still find it odd.

Two weeks ago, I felt horribly nauseous. It was Saturday and Sunday morning. It was just terrible, I never felt that way before. I'm assuming that's what morning sickness feels like. It was worse than being hungover, because I couldn't even keep any food down. I looked at the pamphlet in the box of the patches and it said that nausea was the number one side effect. If it happens again, I think I'll have to stop it. Also, my breasts are sore a lot of the time. I guess I don't mind so much about that though, because at least they're bigger.
