Rats, my cover is blown.

And I know you walk around with a stake for my ilk.

Nah - vampires are fine with me. Therapists, on the other hand, need to watch their step. Plus I wouldn't want to waste my therapist repelling tools on an innocent vampire.

Gaaaaaaahrlic!

I love garlic. I am an unusual vampire.

But what if I’m not just a vampire in deep cover? What if I’m a therapist?

Arg - the horror. Luckily I have garlic, silver bullets, wooden stakes, and a crucifix at the ready.

I think i will have to get new winter clothes as i washed the ones i had in storage but they still smell a bit musty. At the beginning of summer last year i sold the old wardrobe they were in and just threw them in a storage box as i was depressed at the time and couldnt bear dealing with them.

I would try soaking in a vinegar solution and rewashing first.

What a nice visit we had with our son. H went and picked up Taco Bell for dinner so he stayed longer than he probably would have otherwise. So we sat outside and talked and ate dinner and it was wonderful. It was the perfect end to a good day.

So it's another cyst

Only 1.8cm, but the doctor said that size doesn't predict pain and vice-versa. Everything else is normal. He just gave me pain meds and told me to see my gyn. I'm still in pain... Well, at least I know what it is, and it won't need surgery *I think*.

daisydid · Apr 23, 2021 at 11:21 PM

Scarlet, I’m glad to hear that it’s not a large cyst. I have questions but don’t want to ask publicly. Can I PM you?

I still want to talk with L today about the stuff h said yesterday but I think now I won't be an emotional mess doing it.

Glad you're feeling better artie bean.

They are from the same Church/Child Development Center. That's why I knew it was meant to be. I share a birthday with them too but just month and day obviously, not the year. I was going to wait until next year when more of my debt is paid off but he is so darn cute, and when I saw his birthday I was like, this is meant to be. So I sponsored him starting yesterday. I've already written him three letters and sent him a birthday gift. Yeah, I'll probably have to dip into savings this pay period but that's okay. Most of the time I won't have this many doctor appointments and vet appointments. He's super cute. I love his eyes and his little mohawk.

Awww this was cute to read. You're a very kind soul kit.

Wtf is wrong with me why am I like this

I don't think there's actually anything wrong with you.

Sometimes the stuff I do watch does also effect me.

Maybe try to go with the flow for now C. It's okay if you're still unsure about wanting a child if you've been with that person for less then 6 months. Six years would have a different answer.

Speaking of hugs. I remember one vacation we were on when our son was little, we were in this small town and in the town square like place, a college student was standing in the middle of the square wearing a big sign that said "Free hugs". So my son and I went and hugged her. H didn't want anything to do with it, but I thought it was cool and wished I had the nerve to do something like that. Offer hugs to total strangers on the street. Can't be doing that during covid of course, but at the time, I thought it was neat.

One time at Pride, I saw someone with that sign. Was too shy to approach but felt comforted.

Thank you, Lemon. You're so sweet.

I just splurged and got a theragun wave roller - it is a little slice of painful vibrating heaven. So much better than my old vibrating roller - the foam is a little softer and it goes for a long time. Foam roller exercises really help my old body move better and it is interesting to me to see how such an innocuous looking thing can be so painful to use but feel so good when it is finished.
