https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l50L4GYhpLc The last few weeks have really just been taking some good (or bad, if you have the same opinion as my doctors) advice from Mr. Rodney Adkins and I’ve just kept on going and not looked back. Up until Tuesday… I didn’t have time to anyways. Every second that wasn’t devoted to doctors appointments,…… Continue reading If you’re going through hell…
The trying to stay positive front is just that… a front. A fake smile to cover the chaos that is whooshing around in back inside my head. Even under the best CURRENT circumstances this week as memory hits hard for our family and every year, more crap that my brain just doesn’t seem to want…… Continue reading My brain can’t handle this week
A couple more trips to the doctor due to uncontrolled bleeding and we’re REALLY off to a swell start to April aren’t we? This month already has so many negative things bogging down the really important special moments I really don’t have time or energy to waste on whether my body decides to crap out…… Continue reading Seeing red…. so finding some green.
I’m about as good at typing on my phone as Mr. Mango is on a real keyboard, so this little update is slightly overdue. It’s not that I haven’t been able to meagerly communicate otherwise, but sitting upright and straight is probably the least comfortable position possible, and there’s no way I can get my…… Continue reading There was a hole down there…
Treading water through a massive lake of depression wasn’t bad enough, dawn was rising and a shore line was in sight. Of course as soon as the grips of despair seem to loosen that is when anxiety took it’s hold and pulled me under. Not just the daily strain of general anxiety gnawing away in the…… Continue reading I made it through the MIL invasion!
I’m still sometimes amazed at how awkward me being sick can make other people. Usually resulting in them either slowly cutting themselves out of my life and once in a while popping up on Facebook to wish another Happy Birthday or noncommittal ‘lets get together sometime’ OR they ‘try to help.’ By this I mean…… Continue reading How to get rid of any illness!
It’s kind of odd, I initially started this blog over a year ago now to document the more medical/ physical side of my journey in hope that it would help me come to grips with accepting life with a (multiple..) new chronic conditions and worsening symptoms while also juggling motherhood, partnership, mental illness and well……… Continue reading Lupus (and everything else) Limbo
Really it’s my own fault. No one ever told me “hey, drink the crappy old coffee, you don’t deserve fresh good coffee” actually, quite the contrary. On more than one occasion Mr. Mango has come right out and asked why I subject myself to that sludge when smooth black silk is available in a few…… Continue reading I had gotten used to crappy coffee…
No, my little corner of the blogsphere isn’t known for life hacks or DIY home projects, but after so many recent questions from people much like me asking why I carry around a funky coloured sock… I figured some explanations were in order. Actually. It would be more accurate to say I was inspired…… Continue reading Easy Budget Friendly Relief: No Sew Hot Pack
I’ve mentioned that my brain isn’t exactly in the right head space to write…at least anything that seems to make sense, but there are so many other things at play making it difficult to sit down and get everything out. Just wanted to check in before it’s assumed that I’m gone for good. At this…… Continue reading A whole lot of everything.. I can’t even begin to catch up.
