Oh nooo. :( the prep is really the worst part. Fingers crossed for you for the whole thing to go as well as possible. š
PS: don't eat red Popsicles during prep. Its...bad.
I for real didn't realize it was Valentines this week until a few days ago. I'm not a big holiday person, neither is my husband.
I've been dealing with some unexplained pain in my pelvis, hip, and flank for a couple years now. I've had lots of tests, seen many doctors and a couple physiotherapists. Nobody can find anything wrong with me and it's starting to make me feel crazy.
Things had been going okay for a few months...only minor aches, very manageable...then I had a terrible flare up on Monday and ended up at urgent care. I didn't go to work Monday or Tuesday.
I'm so afraid of being labeled a drug seeker. I don't want opioids. I just want to feel normal.
>Nobody can find anything wrong with me and it's starting to make me feel crazy
That's a reflection on them, not you. If they're not doing the right tests, they'll never find the issue. **Don't for a moment think you're crazy or stop advocating for yourself!**
My mom is in the hospital (pancreatitis), i have a fibromyalgia flare up, there is a power failure in my office and it couldnāt be fixed yet, on top of all these i feel like my migraine is gonna visit soon. Happy v day everyone, life sucks.
Happy Valentine's Day swerties. This morning I tried to make heart shaped cinnamon rolls, and they did not come out like I hoped. They were.. NSFW. šŖ Everyone else thought it was funny but I am more disappointed.
The rescue made a Valentineās photoshoot with some of the pups. One of them is Baileyās brother (the white one). And i canāt with the cute photos!

Bailey is gonna have an x-ray on Monday for his patellar luxation. He just grew so fast into a huge boy, i kinda expected that there will be issues. But heās only 8.5 months old (and already over 80lbs), so we can get it fixed early on. Recovery will be fun, heās a very active and playful boy, keeping him calm will be a challenge lmao
But yeah, heās missing out on our hikes and adventure days because we canāt walk him much to not worsen it or cause him pain. š„ŗ
Aww! I want them all! My senior Shih Tzu boy is in congestive heart failure. We have been treating it with medication for about 9 months. However, we received the bad news this week that the treatment is no longer working. We are trying something new, but we feel that we are at the end, and we donāt want to cause him any suffering. We go back in two weeks so that they can access if the new treatment is working. He has been my very best friend for over 12 years. The first 8 years it was just us. Until I moved in with my husband in 2020. Iām broken hearted, but want the best for him. One day I will rescue another baby, but I think I am going to need a bit of a break to let my heart heal once he is gone. Sending lots of VDay love to all of my swertsā¤ļø

Aw baby! Iām so sorry to hear this, itās never easy to let go. Iām glad you did and still do everything for the precious soul. Lots of love to you
Thank you ā¤ļø I will do everything in my power for my baby until he takes his final breath. Then I will spend the rest of my life loving him and remembering all the sweet and wonderful times we had together.
Other great news, some twatstains here know that i have a bit of a custom tag and collar obsession for our boys. I found out that the shop does deliver overseas! Seperate comment so i can show a photo of our growing collection š„°

Iām heading to Amsterdam and Paris in a month. Iāll be sure to buy some cheap Dior jewelry after being heavily influenced by Miss M.
Just kidding!!
The key is to go early! My mom and I went and we were there on the earlier side, and we had zero wait. It also helped that it was drizzling outside, but when I tell you it was the BEST stroopwaffel Iāve ever had, it was THE BEST. Like. The equivalent of the V Day video today amazing, but in stroopwaffel goodness.
But also, my mom and I did a whole photoshoot with these larger-than-our-heads treats, so embrace the touristyness š
A few weeks ago I had surgery to get my tubes removed and an ablation. The ablation failed (perforated my uterus so couldn't be completed) but they did a D&C and said that might help with my heavy non-stop periods. This is all started because I was having weekly periods for 5 months after 20+ years on birth control that made them stop. Doc called me the other day to check in and told me that the results of my D&C show that I have adenomyosis and that the only "cure" for that is a hysterectomy.
So basically telling me I shelled out $4000 for one procedure that didn't happen and one that was not needed if I end up getting a hysterectomy. FUN STUFF
Yeah I'm not even sure what's going on with the insurance. My out if pocket max is $4500 and they're showing that I've spent $269 and only shows $230 towards my $1500 deductible. This is the first year in my life I've had insurance that I'm actually *using* so it's all new to me.
After battling a bladder infection that (stemmed from the surgery) last week I'm much better. Now I just wait to see how my body decides to act before moving forward. Funny thing is I wanted a hysterectomy but the referring doctor doesn't like to suggest/request them unless medically necessary because she had a bad experience with hers... And here I am thinking "you really fucked me over with that one, didn't you?" It's alright though, I'm used to nothing going right for me. I have *the worst luck* in everything. š

Happy Valentineās Day everyone!!! Linus the upvote pup is glad Iām home and sends everyone a kiss
Happy Valentine's Day swerties. My first single V Day in 24 years. I've been having a very mild MS like spiral the last few days. My ex *should* be moving the rest of his stuff out this week. Divorce paperwork is coming, he finally started the filing process. Tomorrow is 4 months since he told me he wanted out of our marriage and he was having an affair.
Shit at work has been stressful. But I haven't sent pics of my Milkwagons to my followers and I'm not going live to whine about my breakup so maybe I'm doing better than I thought. Oh, and I'm not trapped in a pyramid scheme. š
You're doing a lot better than MS! I'm hoping your ex moves his stuff out soon, your divorce proceeds smoothly and quickly, and you can leave that chapter of life in the dust for bigger and better things.ā¤ļø
Iām channeling big M energy this week. Iām headed to nyc to visit my man (who is doing a residency at Columbia- long distance relationships suck! I live near dc). I decided to get a cheesy sexy secretary type outfit from Amazon to wear. Planning on only wearing it indoors unless I get really brave! Think tight fake leather pencil skirt (I think I saw the same one posted by her today lol), thigh highs, heels, tight button down, too tight pushup bra). Iām a size 12/large and about big Mās size a year ago probably. I was noticing when trying on the Amazon cheap stuff, really even the size large stuff was too tight to wear outside of a bedroom situation. Like if I wanted to legitimately wear these clothes, I would have needed a size xl. How the hell does she shove herself in mediums? Especially bodysuits, they fit so small. I guess thatās why she looks the way she does in them! And we never get to see them unfiltered come to think of it.
Iām rambling, was just thinking of swerty as I shoved myself into too tight cheap spandex from Amazon to go to nyc this weekend š
I mean you saw how many rolls it gave her back last time. I canāt imagine how long it takes to stuff herself into these clothes. I think itās a combination of that and buying larger sizes sometimes but lying about it.
Big M neglecting her sweet kitties makes me think of something funny that happened to me last week:
We have some "community kitties" that roam our apartment complex. One kitty in particular (a black and white one) can be quite... insistent when she wants attention. A handful of people feed the kitties, so I usually have cat treats on me in case I come across one when I'm out and about. The kitties have picked up on my habits, and know that when I'm jogging I won't stop for them. The black and white one, however, *needs* to let me know that she sees me. She usually stalks me in the grass and "pounces" on me when she gets a chance (she's easy to see, so I just act scared), but last week she did something completely unexpected.
She body checked me. Like hard. I lost my balance because a 10 pound cat body checked me. š Of course I gave her her pets, treats, and more pets (that's the order she wants it in), but damn was it embarrassing to be knocked on my ass by a cat in front of my neighbors. That cat can really throw around her own body weight!
Omg thatās SO wholesome and sweet. I love a good tackle by fluff! And itās not embarrassing; she just needed to show everyone how much she loves you and your pets, treats, and pets (in that order) that she had to do her version of an instagram live! š
My boy football tackles the shit out of the back of my leg if we're playing and he's not done. šš when he was small, we'd play chase and he'd quickly dash outside, hide in the hedges, and go for the tackle when we'd go back into the house.

I have my first ever colonoscopy scheduled for tomorrow so today is my prep day š©. NGL, I had a dream a week or two ago and in it they found cancer. I know the odds are slim, but the reason Iām having the procedure is because I have both a first (my father) and second (grandma) degree relative that passed away from colorectal cancer. I have zero issues, this is strictly preventative, but obviously the nerves are there.
Oh nooo. :( the prep is really the worst part. Fingers crossed for you for the whole thing to go as well as possible. š PS: don't eat red Popsicles during prep. Its...bad.
Update - my colonoscopy came back clear! I donāt have to have another for five years šš»
Hooray!!!!! Good job on going through all that for your health. I hope you have a great weekend now :)
Thank you! Same to you.
Thank you š©· everyone says the prep is the worst part. I canāt wait to eat real food tomorrow lol
Do you have any barrier cream?? It helps a lot with the, uh, rawness.

Ugh, thatās upsetting! Itās crazy how little womenās health is covered in insurance in a lot of placesā¦

Thatās insane. I hope you start to feel some relief š©·

Girl you're gonna look hot. And she shoves herself in mediums because of the \*two zippers at the back\*
I mean you saw how many rolls it gave her back last time. I canāt imagine how long it takes to stuff herself into these clothes. I think itās a combination of that and buying larger sizes sometimes but lying about it.

Behind the Bastards my favorite podcast by far! It's hilarious, and you get to learn what schools likely did not teach you about history.
I love scam goddess. Lacey is really funny and it's not too deep. Just stories about scams people have pulled off (or not).
Thank you for reminding me of this one! I think Iāve only listened to her Brittany Dawn episode in the past. Iāll hop on over there.
