Did I mention that today I was DYIIIIIING? OMG.

Long story short (and TMI) cramps since my mastectomy have been horrible. I never had them before. Now I get migraines, random weepy days, super-cramps and, just for fun, occasionally a hot flash.

Lovely.

So today was a super-cramp day. And I mean it was bad. I was up most of the night because I…[Read more]

Wow. That’s a lot, Maria!

Well first, I agree with your therapist. Good for you for letting yourself have a good, old-fashioned cry!

And also I’m so glad you’re having a relaxation day. Those can be lifelines in the middle of a sea of stress.

I’m so happy to see your post. <3

Last night was one of those nights that I just couldn’t sleep. So as soon as my husband was out the door, I went back to bed for a couple of hours. Now, I’m about to head to the grocery store and to pick up my husband’s jacket that he left at our son’s house last night.

My husband had his “one on one” interview yesterday and it appears that it…[Read more]

Wow! You’ve really been through the wringer lately! I so glad that you’re taking today for yourself. You really deserve it. I hope you start feeling better soon and I’ll be praying for you!

Oh that was CUTE!

My Halloween was pretty uneventful. I worked. Came home. The kid and I watched The Addams Family and Gremlins. Last year we got zero trick-or-treaters so I didn’t buy candy this year and guess what? Kids came to our door! I felt bad but oh well. I guess maybe next year I’ll get a small stash of Tootsie Rolls (which I personally…[Read more]

Nothing really. My digestive system has been in an uproar since we went to Baytown last weekend. I stuck to my eating plan (much better than I had hoped) and was able to get through the weekend without eating anything off my plan. I have no idea what’s causing this. However, my entire system has been off this week. I’ve had severe pain issues and…[Read more]

I think my body is starting to turn on me. (Starting???)

I woke up with a stiff neck and shooting pains in my jaw and forehead. I’m just really sick of feeling crappy!

I am going to take this as a sign that I need to do better with taking care of myself. So far all I’ve had today is a slice of wheat bread w/ peanut butter. I do need to go get…[Read more]

Ok so I’ve been out of the loop. I’m so sorry!

What’s been going on with your eating?

PARTY DAY!

OMG. It was a long day. A tiring day. But a good day.

My baby girl had such fun with her friends. Not all the family she invited (and who RSVP’d) showed up, but you know what? That’s life. We still had fun.

But I feel safe saying this here.

I AM SO GLAD THE PARTY IS OVER!

My anxiety leading up to it was off the chain, but then once…[Read more]

Yes…I get that feeling! I’m going to post in the Facebook group to remind folks that the forum is here! (That’s one of the reasons why I was initially hesitant to start a FB group. I thought it might kill the forums. I guess now I know my sense about that was probably right.)

As for me, Saturday was one of those days where I mostly vegged. I…[Read more]

You are so committed, Robin!

Yesterday was a great day for me. I went to church and we had a beautiful Reformation Sunday service. Afterward my church did Oktoberfest and I had a brat (no bun), sauerkraut and a little potato salad. From there, I basically hung out at home until it was time to take my daughter back to campus. The weather was super…[Read more]
