Hunger and thyroid

A few days ago was my second round of fertility tests. They determined that my thyroid levels are low and started me on a replacement drug. Apparently that can cause infertility. All I have noticed so far (as of last night) is that it now feels as if I am wearing a turtleneck sweater all the time (pressure on my throat) which is really bugging me. I am not sure if that is normal, but it is the weekend still so I cant call and ask.

When reading the side effects of the medicine, it said increased appetite and weight loss. Kind of odd... Then I woke up in the middle of the night (aka now) STARVING! I ate half a jar of peanuts and some pretzels while preparing muffins and sausage to eat. They are cooking now and I am so hungry I am literally shaking. It's not as if I don't eat!? I am chalking it up to the new meds, because this is way abnormal. I am as hungry as when I was weaning off straterra. It is not fun to have a desire to eat THE WORLD. I am posting to get my mind off of it for 15 minutes... not working.

Other news. George applied for a job and is in the process of applying for another up here in Boston. I am now seriously considering finding a school to take Philosophy at (as a step up from wanting to do it...) It is just a bunch of headaches to figure out all the logistics of it. I will get to it before classes start, and I know that is soon... 

I have been knitting a lot lately. I decided to make a shawl for the Slytherin KAL that is kinda lacy and it is ADDICTIVE. I dont know if I will even wear the thing, but lace shawls are fun! 

FOOD IS BEEPING, I AM HUNGRY.

Update: I found a school and registered myself. I also registered for my teaching exams.
