Violence Is Violence TW: Domestic Violence
Please excuse me if someone has posted this recently- I haven't been around much, but I tried searching for this and didn't see anything...
Thank goodness for thinking before typing...
A few days ago my friend posted a "throwback" picture of his sister in the hospital. The picture was pretty old (it was a scan), and in it his sister was sitting in a hospital bed smiling, surrounded by the members of the band NSYNC. And judging by their hairstyles it was during the peak of their popularity. I almost…
Completely changing your diet for a health condition
A few months ago I was diagnosed with a really nasty stomach condition called Gastroparesis. Essentially my stomach digests food really, really slowly, and this causes debilitating chronic nausea, burping (up the taste of my food for hours and hours after I eat it), fullness, bloating, reflux and regurgitation, etc. I…
A pretty polish for a great cause...
I'm not usually one to promote products but I thought this was really cool. Julep has created a polish named after Malala Yousafzai and 100% of the proceeds are going to The Malala Fund. I'll definitely be picking up one of these polishes!
Watch my favorite hockey team make asses of themselves!
Please note that you cannot un-see this.
Trader Joes?
Colorado recently got not one, but TWO Trader Joe's stores. Right now they seem to be engulfed in a traffic/ parking clusterfuck of epic proportions but I've heard so many good things about this place around the internet that I'm wondering if it will be worth it to check out when things die down.
Dog Squalor
Well it's finally happening. Our sweet little Bernese Mountain Dog puppy is almost all grown up (he'll be a year next month!) and the tidal wave of dog hair has been unleashed on our home. Wherever he goes he leaves black opaque spots of dog hair. There's even been dog hair tumbleweeds! I know he's going to shed and…
Feeling Disturbed (TW: Possible animal abuse?)
The other day I helped throw a baby shower for one of my friends. Her mom came over early (to bring jello shots?) and brought her new puppy with her. The puppy is a purebred German Shepard brought over on a plane from Germany and she is training it to be a service dog for her alleged (self-diagnosed) PTSD.
Dealing with mainpage/ Facebook negativity...
I didn't think my story would be mainpaged, hence why I didn't write "please don't mainpage" but I'm not upset it was. I put this out on my own blog too because I wanted it to get to as many people as possible and I knew I was opening myself up for some negativity. Strangely enough, people have said things I didn't…
My Battle With Antenatal and Post-Partum Depression
Hey guys I finished my story last week and put it up on my blog. It's really long, but I wanted to post it all at once rather than spam you with multiple posts like I did on my blog. I know that there are others here that have gone through the horrors of AD/ PPD and I feel like the more stories that are out there the…
Forgive me lord, for I give no fucks about Peyton Manning.
I almost wish I did though so I could buy this shirt:
I made another thing! And a question!
So I haven't been 'round these parts for awhile having come down with the plague, and then another plague struck, and then my doctor didn't re-fill my thyroid meds for a WEEK and things have just been turrrible. But I made a new thing and I want to show you since I can't share it on my social media accounts!
My first cross stitch!
I got the pattern from Subversive Cross Stitch and it was very easy to follow. I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I can't wait to cross stitch more horrible things! From now on all my family/ friends are getting cross stitched things for ALL the holidays!!
Confronting your worst nightmare...
I have severe Emetephobia. It developed when I was a young child (strangely unprovoked), and it has ruled every waking hour of my life since. Right now it's in a particularly bad place since the medication I was on pooped out. I go through periods of the phobia being treated ok, and periods of it being awful, and…
My throat feels a little sore... OH GOD IT'S HAPPENING!!
Mr. and Baby Keepcalm have both come down with a nasty case of the flu and I have been biding time until it's my turn as well. Baby KC has been sleeping on top of me for the past four nights, breathing/ coughing/ sneezing on my face for hours at a time and screaming if I try to move her. Last night I was yawning and…
Everyone is sick and I'm next!
Mr. and Baby Keepcalm both have the flu, and this is night #4 of Baby Keepcalm sleeping pretty much on top of me and breathing/ sneezing/ coughing on my face. Last night she sneezed into my open (yawning) mouth! I'm a goner, just playing the waiting game. I was the only one to get a flu shot this season (I stupidly…
I'm weaning off Lexapro and I'm scared.
(My first GT post, wheeeee! I screamed with joy when I saw my posting privileges!)
