I may have spoken too soon on the lack of side effects from the Junel I’m taking. Although I haven’t blown up at my husband (this is really good), I did have an emotional breakdown today while I was out to lunch. Thank goodness no one was with me.
Today is a blistery cold day in Baltimore. The wind-chill factor is in the teens for sure. I was bundled up with my down coat and scarf and walked two blocks to Chipotle. After I ate, I left the restaurant and immediately saw a dog tied to a parking meter. The dog was beginning to cry in a way that was really sad and distressed. The dog was shivering as well (who wouldn’t in this weather) and as I made my way past him, his cries grew stronger and louder. By the time I got to the end of the block, I broke down into tears and began sobbing. I turned the corner and walked a few more feet and still heard the dog crying and I continued to cry harder too. I finally decided to go back and find the owner and tell them “WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU LEAVING A DOG OUTSIDE IN THIS FREEZING COLD WEATHER?!?!” and then I noticed the cries had stopped. By the time I turned the corner, I saw the young woman with her Subway sandwich bag dangling from her wrist and she was untying the dog.
WHEW.
Although this was great – I still couldn’t stop crying. What the heck? I finally calmed myself down and realized – was the Junel affecting me???
Hm….
