If I have to give up coffee because it causes my adenomyosis cramps to be so much worse I don't know if I will ever recover

I've discovered this is an issue and I don't yet know if it's only during a certain time of the month or always

Just take my uterus, please

I tip my hat to anyone who is raising, has raised, or will raise a teenager. Even as an unofficial auntie I get worn out and it takes a lot of thought dealing with them lol

It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.

My adenomyosis/endometriosis is really flaring. I spent some time in bed today just waiting for the Tramadol to kick in. And it's not the best, but it helps. (Can't take other opioids, I'm mostly allergic)

I need to reschedule my surgery follow up. This doesn't feel sustainable

A Morsel of drama.

"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"

a light brown and white pitbull smiles right at the camera. she has a light pink nose mottled with black, light brown eyes, and a large goose-egg lump on the top of her noggin, over by her left ear. her name is strawberry.

strawberry the pitbull sits in some grass and looks up at you while wearing a felt strawberry costume. it’s a red cape with yellow dots for the seeds, and she’s wearing a green leafy hat, with one leaf gingerly propped up on top of her head lump.

a mostly white pitbull with a light brown spot over her eye and ear and a big raised lump on her head snuggles with two kids on a gray sofa. she’s tucked in under a striped blanket, her head resting on one kid’s chest and with the other leaning lovingly on her back. she has the most contented and peaceful sleeping face.

This is Strawberry. She was almost euthanized in a shelter because of the bump on her noggin. Fortunately it was harmless scar tissue from an old injury. Her unique appearance helped her get the attention of a forever family, who love her just the way she is. 14/10 (IG: strawberrytheunicorndog)

This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)

Lately, when I have had hard days, and feel alone in the struggles when i’m too sick to type about it, I think of Alice and her last letter to us all.

Alice is my disabled ancestor. I come from her line, I will join her when I leave. something in that is comfort. especially as an estranged adult.

Bill now due in 4 days (it was actually 6 initially). If anyone can help me get to $100 raised, I could breathe a little better (and avoid late fees). Thanks in advance.

Supply chain disruptions from the Iran war could raise prices for drugs, electronics and more The Iran war has halted oil tanker movement in the key Strait of Hormuz. The conflict is also disrupting the wider global supply chain beyond oil, affecting everything from pharmaceuticals from India,...

MANY of our drugs are made in India, my generic thyroid medication included. Trump thinks this war is nothing, a game, but these are real threats all created by his presidency.

I have a long list of places that I've done work for. They do select you based on your demographics

I've been making my income from user testing and research this year. It's not as much as I'd like but it helps a lot. My husband doesn't have to pay for everything, and I can support Mutual Aid with extra.

If you live with any #disability or #ChronicIllness, check out www.m3globalresearch.com to make some extra $. Sometimes I get paid $30 for a survey, and I interviewed a pharma company about one of my health conditions for $85 this week. Not a scam. If you're healthy though, don't apply lol

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Spring Break is coming up! I've already got some supplies building up but I know there's going to be more need. Hopefully we get our taxes by then so I can really contribute a lot!

If you prefer to Venmo me & have me pass it on, it's a pleasure. I'm @cutejewelry on Venmo.
