#3GoodThings 1. Panic attack just now, but! I'm learning to be patient with myself and they continue to get shorter 2. Izzy purred and begged to lick the back of my ice cream spoon when I was done. Reminded me of her and Boomer tag-team begging 3. Feelin' loved today

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Taste: There is none, and coming from a cancered pill-taker that’s the highest of compliments. emilysuess.com/2024/11/13/r...

Update: Mom got Blizzards while she was out and my gut's being a real trooper about how much I love ice cream. This is the good place.

My gut says no to Brussels sprouts, even though my heart says "please and thank you." So I skipped one of the meal prep dishes that included them but Dan, the foodie, asked if I wanted to try the mashed potatoes. 🤯 What they do shouldn't be legal. They were so good. 85% of the meals are amazing.

Expiration dates on candy are why I have trust issues.

This no-longer-hangry post brought to you by @dpoem.bsky.social, egg and cheese on an English muffin, and a tall glass of OJ.

Here's a small act of resistance that could have a HUGE impact. It's absurd to think we have to fight for this when women with certain haircuts complain about things like how many sprinkles fell off the cake they ordered, but, alas!

So important to save #telehealth 💻

Just bought and put some music on flash drives for my mom. Between YTers labeling videos for search (not necessarily song title) and my brain. Whoo! 12 songs took me like 45 minutes. I want a cookie.

It's Sunday, and I've had coffee and Ollie is already in here being cute. The day is starting off strong.

Also, my site is mobile friendly. If you haven't visited yet because cluttered, full-page sites on your phone your phone/tablet are a nuisance...I got you!

#3GoodThings 1. Surprise chocolate 2. A snuggly cat 3. Feeling cozy and sleepy at an appropriate time

Where dogs are like warm, furry Xanax--the antidote to anxiety, cats are like anxiety barometers. Izzy only hangs with me when I have met a certain threshold of having my shit together. She's like, get back to me when you're not a hot mess. (She's hanging out with me tonight, so that's good.)

Oliver is not amused by this bullshit. #Caturday

I took a shower and it was bad but terrible. Baby steps!

Social constructs require the disabled to think about their disability more than they want, so when people roll their eyes about us defending ourselves it's not unlike when I was 5 and my 15-year-old brother told me to "quit hitting myself" while he slapped me in the face with my own hand.

Support trans and nonbinary Girl Scouts and buy some cookies 🍪 www.erininthemorning.com/p/2025-trans...

#3GoodThings 1. 3500 revolutions on the LegXercise thingy with decreased anxiety feels so different in a good way 2. Princess coffee and brownie bites 3. Hope instead of depression

Woke: I don't know how to convince you that you should care about other people. Bespoke: I don't know how to convince you that you should stop nazis.

And if you can't or just don't want to fuss over your edibles or hate math-ing...whatever. You have options. I'm just saying. These are my favorite. emilysuess.com/2024/06/29/r...

I know I repost this a lot, but I got a payout this month that bought food for the week. So I'ma keep on keepin' on.

Izzy just warmed up the foot of my bed and left. That's my love language.

I don't know who needs to hear this but "pain management" is everything but... And it pisses me off!
