I hadn’t talked to my best friend in like 3 weeks and I called her just to ask her where I’d find mini marshmallows in market basket and she said they didn’t have any/were sold out & she had looked for them the same day and that’s how I know she’ll be my best friend even when we’re dead

My new favorite way to make people uncomfy is by saying “this is going in my eulogy!” Whenever I do something fun or am enjoying something

Everyone likes to poke fun at my giant mary poppins bag til I have exactly what they need. Nail glue, zofran, hair elastics, nail file, hair clip, lotion, protection stones (a brick), snacks, electrolyte powder, stimulants, screwdriver, bubbles, chalk, toothbrush, sanitizer, blanket. You name it!

I had gained an obscene amount of weight during cancer treatment and after due to long term super high dose prednisone. Between cancer & weight gain, I was miserable. I am now down 150 pounds (120 of that since mid June) and I am so happy. I am working, I go on little adventures. I love life.

Market basket cashiers look me dead in the eye and smile and the whole time they already decided to absolutely destroy every single one of my apples

I don't know who needs to see this but prioritizing another person's needs over yours won't mean they'll notice and certainly won't mean they'll prioritize yours once theirs are met. It'll just mean their needs were prioritized twice and yours were prioritized never.

One of my favorite parts of infant sass is when the four month old I watch will pee all over himself during a diaper change no matter what safeguards I use and then he’ll glare at me the entire time that I’m cleaning him up. Like, WHO PEED ON WHO HERE BUD? WHO PEED ON WHO!!

I went through my coat closet yesterday and found soooo many old coats that fit now because I’ve lost weight and it’s so exciting to have so many options now and to be able to stay waaarm because things fit. I feel like I’m FINALLY leaving cancer behind me.

I fiiinally got to see the baby I nanny today, he’s had Covid so I haven’t seen him in two whole weeks & he’s been so brave and strong and I’m so proud of him. I was so happy to cuddle with him all day. Ugh such a sweetie pie I am so lucky

The emotional ricochet/volleying that happens when scrolling TikTok absolutely has to be unhealthy. I go from laughing at pure comedy to absolute despair witnessing people’s worst moments to a fucking tahini brownie recipe in like 75 seconds.

Me, knowing very well that it’s my best friends absolute busiest day at work where she doesn’t ever get a second to herself and is thrown from thing to thing: wanna see a picture of my armpit?

I left my friends apartment the other night and got to the car and realized I left my entire bra and breast prosthetics on her living room floor and I had to call her and tell her I left literally my entire boobs in her house. Breast cancer survivorship is somethin else.

I KNOW this isn’t a flashy job. I wish I could sit at a computer and make 10x the amount I’m making. I wish I could have better health insurance and benefits and PTO. But I’m trapped in this life because my health is fucking atrocious. It feels so lousy.

My boss and I were talking about scheduling for the upcoming months and he was like, “okay but what if you leave us to go get a job” and I was so dumbfounded, standing there holding his infant. Just because this isn’t a job you respect doesn’t mean it’s not a job

Some guy kept taking videos of people working out at the gym and he took a few that I know I was absolutely in and I can’t stop thinking about it. It just isn’t fair.

I’ve lost 120 pounds so far since cancer treatment and long term steroids. 85 of it has been since July. I already feel so much better. So much more to go, but so glad to see and feel results already.

I had dinner with the family I work for and they were so welcoming & kind. I watched their baby while they went to temple. When they came home they didn’t take the baby out of my hands but instead they sat with me and chatted a bit while their oldest son did some legos next to us.

Phantom nipple pain after breast cancer & bilateral mastectomy is so wild. I feel like I have needles being shoved in my nipples. I do not have nipples. I do not have breasts. It hurts so much.

I have always wanted to be a mom and due to endometriosis, adenomyosis, brca1+ and having breast cancer & extensive chemo, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to have kiddos. I can’t afford egg retrieval or egg testing.

I got a (1750 dollar) gum graft on Monday. They handed me a bag. I opened it at home and it was an rx mouth wash. I got an invoice today that I owe them for the mouthwash. If they sent it to my pharmacy it would have been 0 dollars. Am I wrong for being annoyed about the mouthwash?

Making new friends as an adult is sort of a wild experience because you just start chatting w someone in a random place & you end up awkwardly giving them your number or social media and then all of a sudden your planning a vacation together or making homemade bagels with them for their brunch

Crime documentaries these days are so wild & done so well that if you stop paying attention for two seconds it goes from talking about a small Christian town to talking about a secret multi million dollar marijuana business in like 20 seconds like hold the fuck on lemme back it up

Gum graft was easy cheesy. Sore, makes my sinus & nose hurt but it’s totally manageable with Advil. Went on a lil walk, had a lil warm soup & I’m hopeful it’ll be a-ok. Glad to check off the first off four grafts off my list.

My friend bought us fancy mushrooms (lobster mushrooms) at a festival we went to and she made us scampi & sides & a protein packed dessert in her absolutely 10/10 decorated apartment yesterday and I am so thankful to have a friend as thoughtful and fun as her

I’ve lost 100 pounds in the last 12 months, 68 of it since the last week of June. I refuse to let steroids & cancer dictate my quality of life anymore. I am praying and I am so determined that I will lose another 60 before my trip in March. I deserve so much more than this weight.

I’m by no means a prude but showing up to weddings, baby showers, bridal parties or any formal gathering with your boobs out is actually mind boggling. I had g cup boobs, I get finding sizing is hard but there shouldn’t be more boob than face showing

I can say many crazy things I’ve been through and amazing things I’ve accomplished including beating super aggressive cancer, doing cpr and a water rescue as a kid etc etc but to this day the only thing I’ve ever said that’s given people a visceral reaction is when I say I don’t like potatoes

I am very certain that my diet has become disordered eating at best. I can’t help it. I have ocd and somehow this diet has become really big and really important. I am fairly certain this will end extremely poorly.

People aging like leather need to stop doing that aging trend on TikTok it’s so nuts. As an autistic person who thinks very literally I will never understand the goal of this. You look older than you are. It’s ok. Aging is a privilege.
