Stop being hyperbolic about the Olympics?!? You are literally the worst person to ever live on this or any other planet.

Due to the prednisone, I ate an entire container of the TJs roasted red pepper soup the other day. Was delicious.

I have vanilla organic valley protein I add in. Between that and the yogurt and the chia it’s pretty nutritionally complex.

Fun fact: in an effort to have them overlook the doping scandal, the Russian Federation first tried to bribe the IOC officials. When they flat out refused the bribe, the Russians the offered to make a generous “donation” to the next IOC charity ball, to which the IOC responded: “We don’t have balls.”

Thank you!! I’m really proud of myself. It was fucking hard and it’s going to be a bumpy road (I am going to need to start taking vitamin B to repair my nerves) especially as most of our friends have no idea that anything is wrong, not to mention his family. Or his mom! Oh Jesus, his mom. She’s going to be a handful.…

Just real quick... Your sex life is trying to tell you something. Listen. It’s usually the best indicator of a relationship’s viability.

Girl, I cried my ass off through a few yoga classes last year while in the depths of my grief. I had to stop going for a while (several months) because it was all too much. But when I got on steadier footing and went back, I found it really helpful. Just taking that time to be still mentally and fully present within…

I put yogurt, a banana, chia seeds and some frozen strawberries in a blender.

Nothing to offer other than I’ve been there for elderly relatives at the end of life and while it’s exhausting, it’s also a privilege. But no question, it’s a significant task—you and your friends are to be highly commended for going to your dying friend, especially since it was such a great distance. How lucky your…

Our communication was touch. My husband and I communicated emotions through touch. I’m a pretty cold/WASPy human being, so actually talking about emotions was nothing I was ever good at. So we ‘talked’ emotionally through how we touched each other, passively or intimately. How and where I touched his back could…

I bought this one. That collection actually went all the way down to a size 8. It’s adorable in real life

thats the foul-smelling stuff that removes paint from your morals, yes?

Welp, it didn’t go exactly the way I planned it (calm and composed and straightforward and free of extreme emotion) but the dude and I finally had THE conversation and what it comes down to is he simply isn’t ready to be in therapy (I respect that) he doesn’t feel like a sexual relationship is necessary for deep and…

Last Thursday (01Feb) two childhood friends & I took a one-day trip from NYC to Orlando to visit a fourth friend from childhood. She was sick and pre-hospice. We were intending on quietly visiting, but her house was such a pigsty (apparently the cleaning person her husband & she hired doesn’t do anything of value and…

I desperately covet this wrap dress he did for Lane Bryant a year or two ago. Hat and all.

This week up in ‘Grief is really really fucked up: Bonus Prednisone Edition’

I just have to share that today is the first day of my life where I felt completely content.

Mental Health Thread:

Dating thoughts please! I haven’t slept with anyone for nearly five years. I’ve been on dates but it’s mostly ended up meeting with men who are full of themselves or the rare time it’s been with a dude I’ve liked, they’ve not followed through on a second date.

Like you, I’ve never had the desire to have children (I’m 41 and married). When nosey people (unfortunately it’s usually women, usually mothers) ask about our lack of children, I am honest. None of this “ooohhh the world is s scary place, how could I bring a baby into this world!” BS. I tell them I have never had the…
