Done(ish!)

    I finally put the last piece of the kids' Easter surprises together tonight!  Which included adding custom names, printing custom envelopes, adding heat activated cellophane and then assembling it all! 

    My final cost was $203.89

    Let me remind you that I literally said, "let's do something little and cute for the kiddos this year for Easter..."

    Literally freaking 200$ later, I am finally finished! Let me tell you how relieved I feel! 

    Now, I have to work on the adult goodies! Which is far less intricate than the kiddos stuff but still is going to take some effort! 

    I am still trying to figure out what's going on with me! Starting tomorrow, I am going to completely cut out Gluten from my diet to see if some of the issues I have been having are being caused by celiacs. 

    I was on track to being diagnosed with that as a child but doctors never really helped me. They chalked almost everything up to bullshit and it never went anywhere. Which I think is where my PTSD comes from when dealing with anyone in the medical profession!

    I haven't met a doctor yet who has treated me like an actual human being. Listened to my concerns and taken real action to make sure that my health is where it needs to be! 

    I have been to several over the past several years. They always have the gall to start off every single conversation with, "Have you ever thought about losing some weight?"

    Are you fucking kidding me?! Have I thought about it? 

    NOOOOOO, I have ALWAYS wanted to be an overweight pile of garbage...but thank you SO much for asking! You're a medical fucking genius! 

        Even with that, I took my health into my own hands and lost 130 pounds on my own. then I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery and that has been wreaking HAVOC on my body for the last 2 years. Learning a new way of living life without an organ is proving to be more difficult than I originally thought! 

    Anyway, I am off to finish up some things I've been neglecting! Here's to taking our lives into our own hands and not rolling over to the pain, grief and sadness that creeps in when our guards are down.

XOXO
