Y'know what?
In case anyone, for whatever reason, might be remotely curious, the following is a list of symptoms for hypothyroidism.
A... number of these apply to me these days. So you know what?
SCREW THE POSSIBLE THYROID DISORDER.
I took a NAP.
I am TURNING UP THE HEAT.
And I am making COOKIES*.
Am so tired of being tired and cold and feeling constantly like I'm depriving myself.
*Cranberry Oatmeal, and I'm feeling generous so I'mma share the recipe!
1 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
t tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cardamon (DO NOT LEAVE THIS OUT, IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE)
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit of your choice)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat like a redheaded stepchild.
Combine dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture and stir well until blended. Fold in dried fruit. (Or, you know. Just stir. I won't tell.)
Drop by teaspoonful onto parchment-covered baking sheet. (Obviously I mean normal teaspoons, not measuring teaspoons here. Otherwise those'd be teenytiny cookies. Like... crouton-cookies.)
Bae 10-12 minutes or until golden.
ENJOY WITH MILK.

Y'know, part of me is so afraid these tests are going to come back and the doctor's going to be all THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU, YOU'RE JUST LAZY :D, and no matter how much I know that's simply not true, I'm just... I've always had this thing where I'm just irrationally afraid of being accused of faking an illness.
...Which miiiight be why I tend to resist going to the doctor unless something is actually WRONG.
