Duuuuude...at that point I'd've probably asked for the frying pan. You are a bonafide badass

I’m feeling a little more hopeful today. Usually when the weather is gloomy for several days my mood goes down. I didn’t have the usual store of summer sunshine I get from the pool either. Too sick to go this year.

We got hit with some heavy wind and some flooding but only a bit. My prayers are with anyone impacted by the recent weather.

I’ve been healing my relationship with food on this Ozempic. Decided to have a slice of pizza with alfredo and pepperoni. Wrong choice. My system did not like it at all with the medication onboard. Although I’m following several people who have been through this journey and am learning what not to do, some things I still learn firsthand.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.

Oo I’m weird. All I had was back pain. I went to a midwife and their solution was a cold can of soda to lay on! By the time I’d arrived I was too dilated for any meds. It was fast. I made my husband walk with me throughout the night. Then I called at 8am, I didn’t want to wake the midewife if it was false! Ha. Less than 4 hours after arriving my bundle arrived.

I stayed in bed this morning. I woke earlier than planned and said hell no. I was in that twilight zone, not really asleep but dreaming. Ooof, what dreams. I feel much, much better. I’m not irritable at all. I feel reborn. I just needed to dream! I’ll keep my pdoc and see if I can get prn meds for sleep.

I don't get why they won't do hystrectomys on people who want them for mood swings and mental health in general. Its a literal life saver. But no, you need to be trans or have cancer and even that isn't a guarantee.

I'm doing fine today. No coffee for the first time in weeks and my stomach is fine for the first time in weeks. My mom says I look depressed. My moods are fine though.

I didn't want the epidural. Needle in my spine? Hell no! For me the whole labor and birthing process was just incredibly uncomfortable, not really painful. Honestly, I've had worse period pains. At least contractions only last a few minutes. Period cramps don't let up. I just found the whole experience gross and uncomfortable. Very gross.

That's awesome! There is nothing like good sleep!

I'm in a pretty good mood today and slept well last night. Had a nice jog this morning and sauteed sausage, chopped onion & minced garlic for a 15 bean soup I will need to start in an hour or so. I even remembered to soak the beans overnight this time around

Just got finished dealing with the cats' litter. H prefers we order this one brand that is low-dust, and the litter itself is great, but it comes in a 40 lb. large bag. The only way to really deal with it for me is to parcel it out & scoop & fill 1 gallon ziploc bags first. It is such a pain.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

Possible trigger:


I am just frustrated for some reason. I don't know why.
Possible trigger:

I'm still tolerating my mild depression. I watched a new Ellen DeGeneres comedy special on Netflix. It was mildly amusing, pleasant. The audience kept roaring and i didn't think it was THAT funny, but i guess she has a big following. Still keeping up with walking my dog three times a day. Not sure how i am managing to get out of bed at 7:20am, but i seem to be doing it. Getting headaches tho.

Hugs to all in need!
