I got my gutters cleaned. It’s super hard to find a gutter cleaner which is why I put it off. I am super scared of heights and so is my partner. I made a bobo pvc pipe gutter cleaner and accidentally knocked off a downspout from a higher level and it was literally packed with leaves.

I’ve written 50,000 words since June 15, done my morning pages every day, and finished off writing some GOOD GOOD smut a little earlier this evening. 

I moved! And man, did it start out as a doozy. First, the movers were careless as hell. Mr. Smuttins fired them about 1 hour into the expected three hour move, after he saw/heard them literally throw a box of dishes clearly labeled fragile on all sides. So we moved everything else in ourselves, and I am formally…

Thank you. 😊

Prozac actually worked for me for awhile, but I switched because my docs said that Zoloft was more recommended/studied for pregnancy (not preg yet but trying toward the end of this year). I was alright with it but for the last couple of weeks my panic attacks and anxiety had come back, so the change was probably…

I’ve been accepted into grad school! I left for a camping trip on the 22nd and I was hoping to have news before then, and every day of my trip, I would hike out to my car, then drive 40 minutes round trip to get signal on my phone, and was dejected every day there was no news. On the morning I got back to my city, I…

Hmmm, well I finally switched meds this week from Prozac to Zoloft, and things are finally starting to improve.  

I had kind of a major breakthrough in therapy. I had been feeling like my therapist and dietician were teaming up against me. I finally realized they were teaming up against my eating disorder. I was protecting the ED because I identified so strongly with it, it felt like they were attacking me. I’ve had an ED most…

I ran eight miles --- the longest distance I've run in at least two years. It feels great to be able to get back into the kind of condition I want to be in. I don't own a scale, and I don't weigh myself except at my yearly checkup, so I totally judge myself  based on feel and fit of clothing. I feel good aboit feeling…

Merci merci merci ça me fait chaud au cœur. I am so proud to be French this is my country of choice even if I wasn’t born here, they still love me and accept me with open arms.

Also found out that my husband who has lived through leukemia and skin cancer doesn’t have glaucoma so that is the best news ever.

Mr. Nequam appreciates the compliment! Considering he had not done any sort of bead loom work in decades and this is only the second piece he has done since getting the loom back out, it’s really quite good. The only thing he regrets now is that you cannot read the lettering on the scrolls very well (“MY BLACK AND…

I made an amazing pie from scratch and fresh-picked cherries! I am now in heaven.

Nothing special this week but I found out that I got my French citizenship a couple of weeks ago but hesitated posting here because of the aggressive toxicity of one male poster who lurks here (and attacks, then dismisses people who don’t agree with him- and honestly makes me feel unsafe) but despite his hatred I am…

I mentioned upthread that I finally got rid of the alien I’ve been hosting for...5 years according to the doctor. He was a dermoid cyst approximately the size of 2 man fists put together (the doctor had limited props for demonstration) and was hiding behind my bowel. But the doctor managed to save my ovary and…

I started a new job in mid May that I’m not entirely qualified for.  My boss moved up my 90 day review (which was originally scheduled for August 14) because he wanted to let me know what a difference I have made to the company, how impressed he is with how quickly I've learned, and how much easier I have made his…

Nothing particular from me (though I was able to help out a couple friends last Saturday, which was gratifying), but my husband finally finished his beadwork piece:

Tell me more about the fasting!  What, how often, etc.

Not sure if what I do is the same as you, but fasting has changed everything for me in my weight loss. Congrats to beating your plateau!

I took the week off to take care of my baby for the first time ever since she was born 15 months ago. I've managed to keep her reasonably well fed and rested and she's happy. I'm tired as all fuck though!
