  11. I did *not* need a flare 4 days before surgery, no thank you. I hope it’s just the heat. Not that it’ll be much cooler in Porto. And the Ragweed pollen certainly isn’t helping.

    I was planning to deep clean the bathroom today so it’ll be clean when we get back. It’s pretty fucking gross, ngl. But I’m in so much pain :(

  15. So, a little over a month ago, one of my co-workers just quit after her shift without any sort of notice after the other front desk person had left with notice. So now, it’s just my office manager and I covering the desk. It’s been crazy and made worse by the fact I simply can’t catch up on my spoons. I’m rapidly running out of bandwidth to even put on a happy face for customers when I’m so sore and tired. Any advice from any other #spoonie ? How do you deal with something like this?

  24. Where Pain Learns to Breathe: And Still, I Do

    I cherish what is good— those fragile, golden fragments of ease— but I dread what is required: the procedures, the waiting, the quiet endurance of pain. Still, it humbles me. It teaches me to love as if each day is a final draft, as if time itself is borrowed…

  25. Sitze an meiner Steuer, habe mir beim Sachen-aus-dem-Drucker-fischen die Schulter verrenkt. Mir ist dizzy und schlecht, muss da jetzt durch.
    Aber ich sehe gerade nochmal eure Unterstützungen und super lieben Kommentare, die via Ko-Fi eingingen. Ich blende Gutes so oft unbewusst aus. Danke, ihr Hasen! 😭💚

  26. Schönes im Osternest statt Billigschoki
    Okay, okay! Nix gegen Schoki. (Glashaus. Steine. 😅 Bin ich in meiner Rage-Bait-Era? 😬🙏) Ich kann ja auch nicht ohne. Zum Frühstück oder für Snacks brauche ich aber etwas mehr. Mein kleines Kochbuch passt auch toll ins Osterkörbchen, macht noch länger Freude und hilft gegen Hungi.
    Rausgebracht im Selbstverlag. Erhältlich via Amazon, direkt bei mir oder über meinen Ko-Fi-Shop. (Werbung.)
