Vertigo is back as a hormonal change symptom. I had errands planned for the day, but putting my hair up had me reeling round the kitchen like a cartoon figure on ice skates. So, driving is on hold, as are all tasks that require bending down. Stupid perimenopause.
Me too. 😢
Legit. Stuff coming off runways this year have struck me as very conservative in their lines and silhouettes. I don't want to say capital C conservative, cause I can't prove anything, and the fabrics, details etc are beautiful. But that's my overall impression after 5+ lines.
Last two years I've put the spatchcocked turkey on the grill. Smoked it for a couple hours and then cranked up the heat to crisp it up and finish it. So good.
I have been there! Make sure they check B12 & D as well since they go hand in hand. I’ve struggled most of my life, especially after my two kids. It’s even worse now w/ perimenopause. Had iron infusion 13, then surgery in Nov. If that doesn’t hold, I’ll need hysterectomy. Reach out if you have ?’s
Was her blanket on the pilot checklist? No? Then it’s not the pilot’s responsibility!
Should have left them to take that commercial flight home themselves.
That's so frustrating, and you've got plenty going on already and don't need that. Glad you could pivot and you'll have great time.
Oh no!! What happened?
Do not believe the bad brain chemicals! Love you Dear Heart.
And here I was excited to realize I could fit a dozen folded zines in my jean's pocket the other day.
I just pulled the local map and it shows there are more Little Free Libraries than I knew of! I’ll take advantage of that. Regular library is one of the places I’ve been. 👍 Thanks for the recommendations!
I'm in Central FL and have started leaving stacks of the FL Edition of the zine in public places. Any recs for where they do the most good? I'm concerned the ones I'm leaving at convenience stores and such may be getting thrown out. Haven't upgraded to whistles, but have the ability to print.
My spouse uses a CPAP and has needed multiple surgeries even with the machine. He's had the UP3 (uvula, palate & tonsils), repaired a deviated septum and eventually had sinus ablation. He still needs a CPAP, but he's compliant now and gets sleep and oxygen. Get the surgery if you need to, it helps.
The anti nausea meds sounds like they are helping. Good!
How’s she doing??
French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Marine Le Pen's trial for embezzlement — and details how he has used similar fascistic tactics to intimidate other judges around the world who rule against his alt-right friends.
We all had a great time! Your character creation and story setting at the end yesterday set such a tone! The brain is buzzing with ideas. I think yesterday was needed by everyone to flesh out this world a bit more and solidify where we want to go with our characters.
And yeah, very full weekend.❤️
Congrats! I’ve had a similar prep afternoon
-Leftover cornbread turned into dressing to freeze in 1 cup portions.
-Broke down 3 rotisserie chix I got for $1.99 each (meat + bones for stock)
-Veggies diced and frozen so they don’t spoil
-Bag of sweet potatoes baked before they spoil
-Soup!

You're welcome!! I've been tempted by Kerrygold and I'm sure it's great. But at that price point, I might save it for the cookies like shortbread that REALLY need good butter. Happy baking and may your cookies be delicious. 🎄🍪
I’m not sure what brands you have easy access to, but I stick to a couple specific brands now for cookies. Trader Joe’s has an excellent butter and good prices (I stock up there), Challenge and Cabot I’ll grab on sale for baking. Land O’ Lakes has been downgraded for use in regular cooking only.
This was a HUGE discussion last year in the cookie baking community. You are not the only one having big issues.
Adorable!!
Bodies are dumb and unfair.
Not only will hair grow and require shaving over third degree burned (and grafted) skin, but you can still have a period while healing (and bleeding) from fibroid removal surgery and a series of post-op ruptured ovarian cysts. I’m so over this. Come on menopause!
I've recently started freezing portions of Chinese so I'm not eating same leftovers for days. I've got silicone cups, lay down a bed of rice, some stir fry, freeze and then pop out of the cups and store in freezer bags. Then I can heat up a portion when I want it. Works well so far.
You are right to be afraid. 5:20 was easy and convenient when I was getting teens up at 5:30 for HS. 8 yrs later all my kids are in college. Do the cats care that we can finally sleep in? No.
It’s 5:30 am, and I’m going back to bed after feeding the cats.
Day 11 post op on a “simple” procedure with a 1-2 day recovery. Day 4 things went to hell and since then I’ve had 2 CT scans, lots of bloodwork, a day in the ER and today I started antibiotics for an infection.
Reproductive organs are stupid and I swear mine are trying to kill me before menopause
EEEEEeee I can't wait to read it! I've clicked the link but it may take a little while to read since I have a house full of guests for a few more days. There's no such thing as a free moment right now.
My spouse recognizes the luck we've had in timing. Entering his field, when we bought a home, sacrificing when we did for hefty future payoffs? The fact that we COULD make those choices? That's luck we had that we fear our kids won't have. We can't even recognize where those opportunities will be!
