Hospitals should give out a punch card for a free MRI or something after 20 visits. With three teens doing checkups and followups and my own chronic health stuff, I feel like I've done nothing but visit medical offices for about a month.

Good morning, pocket friends! I have been awake for 22 hours, it's is -6F outside, and tbh, I'm pretty salty about both of those things. Going outside should not freeze your nose hairs.

I swear the past two months have me wanting to sell my house and go back to renting. Not paying a house payment or rent is nice....until the whole house decides to break at once and your emergency fund can only cover one emergency, not five.

Saying that you want to see the south suffer/secede/that everyone there deserves bad things is a fundamentally anti-Black position. I will not be taking questions.

One of the super fun things about having ADHD and chronic health stuff is that I literally forget about the health stuff. So I can be cooking, about to pass out and having chest pains, convinced I'm having a heart attack... No, bitch you just have POTS. Drink some damn electrolytes.
