I assembled and hung a barn door from a kit by myself. It wasn’t technically difficult but it was a pain in the ass to do with only two hands. And the cat knocked it down at one point and broke a corner, but I put it against the wall so you can’t see it.
I cut my hair and decided to get bangs. I am full of regret. So much regret. But we’ll see how they look once I can wash my hair in a couple of days (I dyed my greys out) and style it how I want. Until then... Headbands are my friend.
Shelter Cat Update!
I’m continuing to give up gluten, dairy and refined sugar in an attempt to manage my poly cystic ovarian syndrome after the holiday season where I basically gave up dietary restrictions. Also giving up my unpaid family leave to return to work months earlier than expected cause I’m bored and I think I’m driving my…
Wow. I’m up for SNS! Still in the greys though. But I need to vent. I had a bit of a shitty day, but the way I’m thinking about it now, it might actually help me on my therapy journey.
We’re doing great. Currently on a small vacation at my mom’s and deciding whether to move in a month or so. I don’t like where I live and I found out there’s a 20x nicer neighborhood where rent is just marginally more expensive. I won’t be able to walk to work anymore, BUT there will be trees and cleaner streets and…
Something weird happened at work yesterday. My supervisor walked up to me while I was talking to a co-worker about a client, and he put his arm around me. Nearly everyone around us stopped what they were doing and just stared. It triggered my anxiety and I feel like my mind just walked out the door and I don’t…
For the past two weeks, we’ve been dealing with a particularly nasty bug. It ain’t the flu. It ain’t Strep, or at least not Strep a. It’s bacterial, because it responds to antibiotics, so it’s not rhinovirus. It hit my daughter first, giving her fevers of 104 and 105. Then I got it, after sleeping in her room to…
I’m giving up self-deprivation. (Not self-deprecation, which is a whole other animal that I can’t give up anytime soon.) Life’s too short to not eat the cake.
My parents got me a Roomba (which I hadn’t asked for but had been eyeing) and I LOVE it. We named him Bjorn and while my pup is less than thrilled, the husband and I really dig it!
Emily yay for the early SNL! How was everyone’s holidays? I got a ton of gifts and gave some really great gifts (the better part IMO) and got through two days with my family of narcissists and flying monkeys! My best gift given to me: a gift card for cryotherapy, where you get in the tank that’s about three hundred…
I’m so happy to catch this early, since I was late last time! As of tomorrow, I am 6 weeks pregnant. Lab tests confirmed progesterone and hcG levels were all what they should be, and I’m nervous but excited. Of course my child would start out stubborn- my husband and I realized we had miscalculated due dates at the…
If there’s anything I’d like to give up, it’s disliking myself as much. Loving myself seems out of reach right now. I’m just focusing on not loathing myself quite as much and treating myself with more kindness and understanding.
This year, I’m giving up my uterus!! And at least one of my ov’s!!
Welp...my paycheck is non-existent due to the shutdown, my pay raise next year is being frozen by executive order, and I believe my ex-wife is dating someone. Which, you know...we’ve been divorced for nearly two years. It is her call and choice to make, she has every right to move on and find happiness with whoever…
I’m not giving up anything. I’m ADDING stuff. More education, more skills, more interaction. Also, my much younger friend knows very little Queen, Led Zeppelin, or David Bowie music so I am making him some playlists. Such fun! Feel free to offer suggestions. I’m starting with having him watch Queen’s Live Aid…
It probably won’t warrant an article since she was more of a UK celebrity but sad news for fans of Britcoms, June Whitfield who played Jennifer Saunders’ mother on Absolutely Fabulous passed away.
Hi Jezzies, I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas or just a peaceful day. I want to thank all of you that replied to me about what they were doing to help the homeless, you are amazing. I had a wonderful time with my family and Ollie was very well cared for by the cat sitter. This is a pic of me and my family in…
I’m just giving up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I had rough year so I took myself on vacation for xmas and bought myself jewelry. Only my niece got a present. I also plan to give up nothing in Jan. NOTHING.
