When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

lol I was just thinking that!

My hair has thinned a lot, which I hate, but tbd if it is age, due to weight loss, due to bleaching the heck out of my hair for a couple years, or some combo. It’s no longer falling out like crazy, but it hasn’t grown back either.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I feel a nostalgic urge to bring up thread proliferation, for some reason

I have been In Menopause since 2019 AIFG.

I mean except for the visible aging and lack of fitness, but not menstruating? I can’t believe I did that for 33 years, give or take a couple of kids.

Right?!? I mean, mine got shortcut by the cancer thing, but it's amazing how quickly I've gotten used to not having to deal with it every 3-3 1/2 weeks (once a month, my ass) and thinking back on what a nuisance it was seems like a dim memory (again, partly because I've had bigger fish to fry, but still).

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I loved not having a period with my 2 consecutive Mirenas (which would have been 3, except apparently my cervix is made of steel).

Medical question that dr. google has been no help on: I'm tapering off the prednisone I was prescribed for the bronchial thing I've been dealing with, and I have two days of antibiotics to go. My coughing and shortness of breath are starting to come back, whee. If this keeps going, do I contact the urgent care clinic I went to for this?

Definitely. You might need a different antibiotic. Are you still using the inhaler?

Yep, still using the inhaler for the max four times a day allowed.

The other thing about being on the prednisone is that I haven't had any migraines or all-body inflammation pain while I've been on it. Once I find a damn PCP, I guess I'll mention that to them.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

House update:

All the flooring is done and the walls are repainted. The new cabinets have been installed in the kitchen, and most of the cabinet pulls are attached. Some of the countertops are installed(one of the pieces turned out to be too small) and some of the appliances have been reattached.

Pretty close to being able to move back in.(Finally!)
