Yes, I'm always exhausted. I'm pretty much a nobody; I don't put effort into growing followers. I come here to mainly read, get the news, occasionally engage with content that matters to me, and sometimes share my thoughts. She/Her

Amen @BiatchDulce. And if this Trump era has taught us anything it’s that we need stronger constitutional safeguards to prevent another horribly bad, corrupt, cruel, lawless, authoritarian from fucking with our democracy, separation of powers, and the rule of law.👇

NC to Salt Lake City to Moab to Ouray, CO to Denver ... back to good ole home sweet home tomorrow. I really loved our trip. It exhausted me but in a mostly good way. Was so nice to see our daughter. Ouray might be a favorite spot I've ever been. But I wanna go HOME right now. Flight tomorrow.

Today we arrived in Ouray. Such an adorable town. I love it here. The altitude may be bothering me; I have a headache and sore throat (dryness). Box Canyon Falls was a great spot and easy to walk up to. Taking a tour of Ouray tomorrow. Then heading to Denver, and then home on Sunday. I'm kinda ready

Arches National Park was breathtaking. We took a tour so we didn't have to do a lot of walking. We are both 50 so we're no spring chickens. This tour was billed as a "senior tour" which worked out perfectly. My kids won't stop giving me hell for it.

Enjoyed SLC with our daughter. I really pushed myself but we were able to do everything they wanted to do while we were there. That made me happy. We are now on our Arches/Canyonlands Moab leg & head to Ouray tomorrow. It's raining in Moab today - hardly rains but of course, when we have a tour

Airports and especially TSA are no place for someone with a serious anxiety disorder. Thankful for the kind agents. But there's more than a fair share of rude ones today. But I'm at the gate now. Whew. I literally cried from the anxiety dump

Very proud to vote for Cooper. He is legitimately a good guy. This also illustrates how gerrymandered we are in NC. We are way more purple than we get credit for.

It's almost as if every generation has skills that other generations do not possess either by will or necessity. I mean, I don't know how to cobble shoes, change my oil, or even sew on a button for that matter. But I can make a mean casserole, grow tomatoes, and do calculus.

Update: FIL met with my husband and told him he HAD to apologize to his mother (for what, exactly?) because "she is his mother." My husband responded with, "I am her son. I didn't ask to be born." Ooooo it made my FIL very angry. Typical dude from his generation who demands obedience & loyalty

Travel tip: Do not EVER book a hotel with Expedia because they will make cancellation (even under terms) incredibly difficult and hold your money hostage in the process. Or they'll use the excuse that you have to contact the hotel directly & hotel never responds. I lost $100. That's a lot to me :(

My MIL accused us of elder abuse back at Christmas because we didn't put up her decorations the exact day she wanted. This is not a joke; this is 100% true. It's not EXACTLY out of character for her, but it's definitely not her normal behavior. She ran to my husband's only sibling and alleged abuse.

Sitting on the porch listening to thunder. My grandpa taught me to love a good storm brewing. I never fail to think of him at the first crack of thunder. He would have been 99 last week. While I know odds are slim he could still be alive, it's statistically possible. And that makes me sad.

Spent all day yesterday in aFib and wondering what the heck was going on. I blamed my muscle relaxer. I blamed my estrogen patch. Then this morning I realized I never took my lamictal OR my beta blocker (key!!!!) yesterday. I *never* miss meds. Oh well, at least I have answers. Today will be better

He mocked Serge Kovaleski- who has the same disability as one of my daughters. And then my parents and my in-laws not only voted for him, they have championed him. It makes me physically sick & I will NEVER forgive it.

Specifically, we will be in: Salt Lake City, Moab, Ridgway, Ouray, and Silverton. It's the Ouray & Silverton I'm most worried about. Silverton is high risk for altitude sickness I'm told. I already have POTS, dysautonomia, migraine and more! I feel like it's an accident waiting to happen.

#Migraine #MigraineChat folks - we are going to Utah & Colorado in a few weeks to visit our daughter. I realized that one of our stops is in a very high elevation (9k+ feet) and another one is about 7k. How bad does this trigger migraine? I am terrified and now rethinking our route.

In our house, September 1 is the unofficial start to fall. The summer-smell candles get swapped out with apple ones. Same with the coconut bath gel in the shower - make room for cinnamon bun body wash. It's now cinnamon apple season folks. I don't make the rules.

I planned my entire WEEK around an HVAC maintenance appointment today even down to making sure the dog was at the groomers so he wouldn't bark and be scared of a stranger in our home only for them to cancel just minutes before their appointment window (12-4) because they were "too busy" today. GRR

I knew the response to Dolly's death would be huge a but I had no idea it would be this full of emotion and just plain beautiful. I have watched many covers and tributes online and I am so sad (we have always been HUGE Dolly fans in our house) but also, so encouraged. We need this collective love

I get so tired of the ableism of "they had other health issues" as if their death is justified or different. If you had cancer, but got hit by a bus and died - the bus killed you, not the cancer.

You know who else has an unfair advantage in sport? Naturally talented athletes. And people with high hemoglobin. And rich people with money for sports camps and coaches. Why should they be allowed to compete? “Fairness in sports” my ass. Never since NFTs have I heard such bullshit.

Running away to the mountains for a few days ... gotta get my laundry done so I can pack and actually GO. We rent a nice tiny house on a river. It's secluded and quaint. It's also like $100 a night which is unheard of for Great Smoky Mountains area. We go a few times a year if we can

There's a major estrogen patch shortage that's been going on a few months and is expected to last all of 2026 and mostly likely into 2027. It's only affected me once so I transferred my Rx to a different pharmacy. Welp that one is out indefinitely. I've spent ALL week calling around to find them.

Today I got notice my latest SSA statement was ready. I have spent most of the last 30 years either not working at all (caregiving disabled children) or working very part-time (my own health issues). I will get a whopping $500 a month if I retire at 62. I'll get $800 at 67. And $1000 at 70. YIKES

I am almost 50 yrs old & this past week I unpacked something from my childhood that is really f'd up. It's an excellent example of growing up with selfish Boomer parents. My parents had this giant print of a woman that hung over our mantle. I was very scared of it. I thought she was a witch 1/

I didn't realize how triggered I'd be right now with the replaying of the c*vid sh*t discourse going around because of the hearings. People in my feeds crawling out of the woodwork. Feeling that sudden ick and disrespect for people I thought I liked. I don't want to do this again.

Currently dealing with increased reflux (always been an issue but have been well controlled). Eating a reflux-friendly diet. HOWEVER said reflux diet is making me drop weight and I've lost more than I need to. I cannot get enough calories. Anyone have calorie dense reflux friendly foods?

“If your grandmother doesn’t recognise it, don’t eat it.” My gran never saw a mango or an avocado, or any tropical fruit, and certainly never saw, say, coriander or cavalo nero. She did used to eat Findus crispy pancakes and Birds Eye potato waffles, and sugar sandwiches on sliced white bread.

Taking muscle relaxers & NSAIDs (even only when truly necessary) has make my reflux 10000x worse & I'm already on a PPI. Changed them to see if that helps. I'm truly feeling so defeated by my multiple chronic illnesses. One treatment fixes one thing, but worsens another (or three)
