@robin-miller I feel like I have failed you! So sorry I haven’t logged in. My job has been NUTS lately. I think it will start to calm down and if it doesn’t…well…I’ll be out after December 13 for my surgery anyway!

Yesterday was AWESOME! I took the train to DC, spent all day wandering around the museum. It was just so wonderful. A lot of things that were hard to look at/hear but still a good trip.

Food was sketchy.

I had a breakfast sandwich for breakfast

A slice of pizza for lunch

And I had the insides of a gyro for dinner.

I walked a lot but I haven’t…[Read more]

Here’s how food shook out for me:

-breakfast sandwich

-green salad w/seafood

-a few bites of mashed cauliflower w/added protein

-a handful of pretzels

I thought I ate a lot today but typing it out, maybe not so much…

I know how this feels. That’s what happened with my alopecia. Wasn’t caught in time and is now irreversible.

I do think you need some time and space to focus on your health stuff. Is there anybody at all who can help with your MIL so that you have some room to do that?

Mid-week sweep!

Did you get to that meeting? And how’s the meal planning going?

Sorry I’ve been so absent. I got slammed at work. But I’m BACK!

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

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]

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]
