Thyroids and Laundromats and Awards, Oh My!

I have known something was wrong with me for the last few years as I am exhausted most of the time and sleep a lot on the weekends. Thyroid problems run in my family, so I have suspected that was what was wrong but my blood tests came back within normal limits. Until recently. Finally the test shows that I have hypothyroidism, an under-active thyroid, and I have been given medication to try to regulate it. It may seem strange to be happy that something is wrong with me, but the joy is in knowing that it has been found and thus can be fixed.

Also, Violette from The Mystery Bookshelf has kindly awarded me this Super Commenter Award.


Thanks, Violette! I'm not going to pass this along to anyone specifically, but thank all my wonderful commenters for stopping by!

Our weekend started off with a bang on Saturday as we tried to do laundry. We live in an apartment building where we use the building's washer and dryer, along with 7 other apartments. We have to pay for both the washer and dryer loads but it's much cheaper than the laundromat and is upstairs as opposed to going out. Well, when Jono went to switch the load from the washer to the dryer, the dryer would not work (after putting our quarters in it). So... we had an emergency trip to the laundromat on Saturday morning. Sigh, at least we could do several loads at once while at the laundromat so we were done fairly quickly. Hopefully our dryer will be fixed by this coming weekend.

I've had thyroid problems most of my life, and have been taking Synthroid since I was a teenager. I think it's for hypo, not sure :) I just know I have to take it every day, probably for the rest of my life.

Hope the dryers are fixed soon, what a lovely way to spend the weekend - at the laundromat. Ugh. :)

Have a great day!
