Why I feel sexy AF
I went to the doctor solely because I need the 300$ wellness bonus our work gives us for doing so. Carey was working an evening shift, so I had to take V with me. I asked the doctor about my eczema, which usually pops up as one single dime-sized patch on my face that quickly disappears with a little Neosporin, but this time has spread to four ( Read more... ) -
Disgustingly abbreviated post
I put myself on the job market in May after 5 years with the Crisis Team. The next 2 months was a frenzy of employer contact requests, interviews, and spastic real estate searches. Job searching is a full-time job, and job searching while holding a very demanding full-time job and trying to be a wife mother friend and daughter was one of the ( Read more... ) -

Ugh
Had to call this school in MN that made me an offer and basically say, "I can't accept because you're not offering me enough money, but if my husband gets a really good offer in the same area, I'll be able to afford to take the 10k pay cut you're offering."

Sent at 1am so that it would be the first thing I saw when I woke up:
Hey Girl,

And yes, I could have called you, but I either get voice mail or some reason why you were busy or whatever. I know that life gets busy, but I also know that you have travel time that could be an opportunity for a call...

Don't Judge
I'm just going to dive in like it hasn't been forever. We are looking to move to either Minneapolis or Massachusetts this summer. My anxiety has taken a strange form: perseveration and obsession with skincare ( Read more... ) -

Blood brag
Just wanted to do a little bragging that between my Divacup, sea sponge tampons, Thinx panties, and Lunapads, I'm now a zero waste period girl. I still carry three no-applicator tampons in my purse for emergencies, but It's awesome to finally have all the angles figured out. Hopefully, I can get Victoria on the bandwagon a lot faster than I did, ( Read more... ) -
The Women's March
I want to document my participation in The Women's March because a tiny, optimistic part of me believes that the Ump administration may eventually be viewed as the catalyst that mobilized a lot of passive people and spurred others, even politicians, to realize how dangerous unchecked executive power can be. It was also the only day I've felt truly ( Read more... )
