I have never felt as understood as just now when I preheated my heating pad and electric blanket. I returned from the bathroom to see this.

When your body hurts (as per usual), and you're exhausted (as per usual), BUT NOW you're unable to maintain a comfortable body temperature and the underboob sweat is becoming disastrously obvious through your shirt.

Heaviest period of my life during a crazy heat wave leads to what is basically diaper rash. Oh sweet baby Cheez-its, let me just die.

Looking at the medicine cabinet when you have a migraine, a head cold, diarrhea, and menstrual cramps like “I don’t even know where to begin...”

When that stomach bug hits and you cannot chug “enough” water or sleep so you know the mother of all migraines is brewing, which makes relaxing impossible so the stress could be a trigger...

About a month out from my next neuro appointment. Meanwhile, my aura and symptoms have changed dramatically. A CT last week revealed I don't have a brain bleed or other catastrophic anatomical change in my brain, but still... this is not a fun development. At least I'm not pregnant.

My holiday depression showed up today—even earlier than last year! And the big red bow on top was trying to talk about it with my partner who says my depression ramblings make him question if our relationship is even worth it. So maybe I’m going to be broke, depressed AND single.

Pointless costs and bureaucracy as far as the eye can see with these stupid floaters...

MFW when my partner in work and life is being a grade-A zesty ranch butthole for no reason and can't take any sass back. Ugh. Boys are dumb sometimes.

So my kid puked in the bathtub... But plunging that drain brought up the matchbox car that was making the tub drain super slowly...

Whatever we’re calling this winter weather—I’m calling it BS. Damn these pressure changes are killing me.

I registered for my final classes of Masters #2; got DS4 through a rough patch and into therapy; lost 30 pounds; am doing well at work; and my partner and I are communicating better than ever.

The icing on the cake is that my ex (who lives 130 miles away) didn't return the antibiotic kid was on from the double ear infection that developed from the last time he came back sick and miserable two weeks ago.

Dammit uterus! I thought we decided you were gonna calm down with these random periods.

Every single time I start trying to unload some of my kids outgrown stuff on Facebook Marketplace and somebody immediately messages if I can give them the items for free... No explanation.

MFW suddenly a second baby sounds like a reasonable idea...

That feeling when you've been really good at avoiding triggers and you get aura and prodrome going in the middle of a day off.

Target's Threshold Enameled Cast Iron Clearance- FYI some of their colors and sizes are 50% off. I got this for $25. Their pieces are a decent imitation of Le Creuset.
