Oh Maya, I’m glad I saw this.

Glad they figured it out. My sibling has low iron and has had trouble in the past...annoying but treatable. Hopefully the pills will normalize your levels. Hope your head's feeling ok!

Jiminy Christmas! Very sorry to hear about this. I hope you’re on the mend very soon.

I fell down my own back steps TWICE and hurt both ankles. In klutzy solidarity.

Ah! Stay there until you’re 100% okay!

Oh Maya! Sending all the good vibes your way!  💜

Yikes! Glad you’re being taken care of. Hope you're about to rest and start healing. ❤️

Yikes! So sorry ... I hope you get feeling better soon!

Holy crap! I'm so sorry! Hope you get to feeling better quickly.

It’s the first time I didn’t have to work for five or so years, so that was nice. My reason to work has disappeared (my late husband’s family was HUGE, Thanksgiving was a 12 hour affair of watching football in an unheated garage. It was not great) and last year visitors were awful. So I decided to stay home. It was…

Thank you lovely, job is still absurdly hard and absurdly good. Freedom from marriage is wonderful and I’m looking for a place to have a bit of independence which can’t come too soon after so long with family xx

maya, i am glad you are feeling better, and very glad you got more anxiey meds and therapy to help you through this more stressful time - i have anxiety that is usually pretty well-managed, but when it flares from stress it takes over everything and can be hard to see a way out, and seems like i cant possibly make it…

Thanks Maya.  And a better week to you too.

Mya, I’m so pleased to hear your doctor is on the case. It will be a teary time for a while I suspect but the promise of the medication helping, a regular dose of therapy and your money starting up again are all golden glows on your horizon. Are you still in need of a cooker? I'm still on the look out xx

This is not the last SNS, but agreed that everyone is amazing and beautiful. If it were the last SNS, I promise I would make a family-style pesto in all of your honor.

I pray this is not the case but just in case this is the last SNS I wanted to thank everyone here for contributing to what has become a truly amazing community. Y'all are such beautiful people who I respect and admire so much. This blog and its community have helped me more than I can ever put into words and your…

I checked in tonight just to check on you (ok and also shelter cat update :) and am so glad things are looking a little up, if only a little. You’ll make it love, and I know you have the strength to do so. I’m sorry you feel so angry at yourself and I've been there. I know how that feels. But it will pass. You deserve…

I rescued another chicken this week. My daughter was flock sitting for our neighbor last weekend and discovered this beauty injured with peck marks all over the head and barely breathing, not moving. We put the patient in our little chicken infirmity and we fed it with a dropper and got it back to having a fighting…

Bless your heart, Maya.  I’m thinking of you.

Thank you Maya, on all counts. I’ll be fine. Monster I worry about, but she’s got excellent care and a good prognosis, and while managing this is no fun, it’s mostly just because you can’t explain to a cat that she’s feeling yukky because antibiotics are wonderful things that also suck. I’m also shy (honestly) and…
