If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve had a lot going on, but didn’t want this week to pass before I brought up a couple of things. First up are the ignorant comments from Dr. Phil. He had the audacity to say 100 out of 100 care giving…

Dealing with Anxiety
The anxiety has been real over here the last few weeks. If we’re really counting, I’ve noticed an uptick since my diagnosis. Increased anxiety after something like that is totally normal. However, I didn’t expect it to add to it. As Spring finally began to peek her head through Winter’s…

A Kinda Fab Friday
It’s been a really great week around here, despite getting the news about my dumb heart tests + monitor. I get that the tests aren’t necessarily stupid, ok, I just detest having to sport a monitor and carry a phone for a month, not to mention spending my Monday at…

Juggling Multiple Diagnoses
The holidays just about whooped me to the point that I’m just now feeling fully recovered, y’all. It was relatively low key, and very very enjoyable. But, I was around A LOT of people I typically am not, and i also work in retail, so I was absolutely covered in…

Pre-Birthday Feelings
Thanks for being patient you guys – between deleting MULTIPLE posts I had drafted and my hectic schedule – I haven’t had a chance to post in a few. What pisses me off most is simple human error led to a couple of really well written, great posts I think…
