I’m making progress!

Hey-o. It’s me again. I know I haven’t been around a whole lot, save for occasional OTs, etc. Mainly because I’m wading through my I-turned-30-now-what crisis. Anyway, re: title of this post, my friend and I have started saying this when depression or anxiety rears its ugly head and we need to relate it to each other.…

Got my test results back from the doctor today. The good news is: I’m not anemic, I don’t have thyroid issues, my blood sugar is normal, my insulin is normalish (slightly elevated but not out of a healthy range but it could be stress) my progesterone is normal, my doctor isn’t suspecting PCOS, and my kidney and liver…

So as some of you may remember, my grandfather had heart surgery in January. He’s had a hard time recovering (he’s 85 years old just for reference) and I’m finding out that at least a portion of it is because he hasn’t been following the aftercare instructions.

So when I go to a certain grocery store in my town, I pass this place called “Vanilla Dental”, and every single time I think “if the alternative is Kinky Dental, I’d much prefer vanilla.” Although a vinyl or latex dental assisting uniform might be kind of fun.

Can we kick things off a bit early? Asking because I just made a frozen strawberry margarita.

Hey GT. This may be a long post, but I’m mostly just hoping to air things out by writing it down. Talk of depression, anxiety, trauma after the cut.

Hey GT. I’ve decided that I want out of Texas by the end of the year. It’s time, and going on vacation earlier in the month confirmed that. I’ve lived here all of my life, and I want a fresh start in a new state now that I have moved into my thirties. I want to move to Oregon or Washington.

Hey y’all! All systems are go for my trip to Portland, Oregon next week. I’m checking in to see if folks are still down for a GT meetup while I am there. I get in Monday night and leave mid afternoon on Friday. I was thinking cocktails one evening would be delightful, but I’m open to suggestions :)

Hey y’all! As mentioned previously, I’ll be on vacation in Portland from April 2nd until April 6th. A few GTers mentioned interest in doing a meetup while I’m there, so I’m making this post to discuss and gauge interest. I have a ticket to a comedy show on Thursday night (the 5th), but outside of that, my plans are…

I’m going to Portland in April! I’m so excited!

Has anyone here travelled alone? I just got my tax return and I desperately need a vacation. Most of my friends are teachers or broke students and can’t go anytime soon, but my best shot at taking time off is going to be March or April, so I’m considering taking a trip by myself.

Talk to me about smells.

I’ve got a deep bruise on my right shin from where I tripped and fell while wearing wedge boots this past Monday. I also re-injured it by banging it on an open cabinet drawer at work a few days later (I cried, it hurt so flipping bad). Good news: I can walk on it fine, I have full range of motion, and it doesn’t throb…

The transition out of undergrad has been very hard. This is going to be a long, feelings-heavy post.

Hey GT, so I’m on the hunt for some jeans and work pants and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a thicker lower half. Cut for talk of body shape stuff and sizing.

How’s everyone’s weekend been? Any dinner plans nailed down? I’m making greek lemon chicken skewers, brown rice and greek salad for dinner. I’ve also got some pita bread that I’m going to brush with some garlic oil, as well as hummus and makings for a garlic yogurt dip. Dessert is some key lime pie gelato that was on…

Hey y’all, here’s an update on my grandpa’s heart procedure. He went in and had the surgery this morning and is in recovery now. I took a half day off work and spent it at the hospital with him and my mom. The doctors said that everything went perfectly smoothly, and he should be going home tomorrow. By the time I…
