@fuckoff-hs
Finally ready to admit I might have fibro but I’m kicking and screaming all the way.
I prefer being in a state of denial.
When I got up the nerve to ask my doc, she just looked at me like "yeah whatever"
I guess I'll wait another five years to bring it up
Well hell
I haven't used cannabis in about a month. I've got 5-6 new flares. One has opened and is draining like a beast. Hurts, too. I was going to sit down and medicate this evening but so far it's a no go. I'm trying to give away some old furniture and I've had several inquiries but no takers yet. Gotta keep my head about me so no medicine yet.
On the left is a flare on my breast (top side of the breast because I do nothing normal). It looked like it could be a monster, but on the left is a pic of the same flare two weeks later. If I'm going to flare at all, that's the ideal healing process. A little flaky skin, no draining, and a mostly closed up flare. Stay tuned to the next post for the opposite, a small spot that turned into a monster.
So, after talking to numerous dog professionals (my vet, my trainer, a behavioral scientist) we’ve come to the conclusion that Denver is never going to move past his aggression. It is just a part of who he is, no amount of training is going to change that. Of course, I felt pretty shitty after reaching this conclusion, so I did some online shopping to feel better. Here is Denver modeling his new CAUTION vest. Between this and his muzzle, I think people will know to avoid him 😉 Our goal is to give him a happy and fulfilling life without granting him the opportunity to bite anyone else.
This is awesome. I have an aggressive dog and for the last fifteen years I've adjusted our life to protect him, other animals, and other people. He's an incredible dog and he's been worth the extra work.
I hate when they make you describe yourself on the first day of school like???? me????? tired angry egg trying to live an honest life
INTJ Tip: Learn Sign Language
I started learning American Sign Language a few years ago, and it’s one of the best decisions I ever made. I suggest it to everyone, but if you’re a naturally unexpressive introverted night-owl (like many INTJs are) it comes even more highly recommended.
Here’s my reasons why…
1. If you learn it with other people you hang around with, you can use it when you really don’t feel like talking. This is great if you hate talking in the morning or just when you’re enjoying the silence and don’t want to break it, but still have something to say.
2. If you are naturally inexpressive person, and want to become more naturally expressive, sign language helps a lot. There’s nothing wrong with being inexpressive, but a lot of times it makes communicating with other people harder. (If you aren’t very expressive, you know what I mean.) Sign language forces the speaker to exaggerate their motions and facial expressions to properly covey their point. Thus you become comfortable expressing yourself more often and are more used to doing it.
3. Like any other language, you can talk about things and people in front of other people who don’t know the language.
4. You can easily talk through windows and across large or noisy spaces instead of trying to shout.
5. If you don’t want to talk to an extroverted random stranger who decides to strike up a conversation, pretend you’re deaf/mute and sign something to them. 9 times out of 10, they will drop the conversation.
6. If you’re sick and your throat hurts, you still have a painless way of communicating.
Ok I’m intrigued can you send me some links as to how to go about learning ASL. Preferably a practical and quick approach too. Thankss @intj-journey
American Sign Language Resources
Being reblogged (rather than just sent to @technomancer98) for all my followers because I really think this is a good idea for all the reasons above.
(These sites are only aimed at American Sign Language, because I am American and that is what I’m learning. If you are not American, I’d suggest learning the sign language of your own country. But, hey, you can do whatever you want, no one’s stopping you.)
http://www.lifeprint.com/ Really great website if you want to learn. Very thorough. Pretty much anything you could ever possibly need. Breaks everything up into lessons, objectives, vocabulary… etc.
https://aslnook.com/ Geared for a very wide family-friendly audience (and, thus slightly boring), this website has a ton of videos of good, clear sign language being used along with the words either spoken or written out on the screen, so you know what is being said. Good for learning to read other people signing, bad for quizzing yourself.
http://www.signlanguage101.com/ This site has a few video lessons that are probably useful if you like that sort of thing, but, to be honest, I get too bored too easily, so they never work for me.
https://www.startasl.com/learn-sign-language-asl_html Another lesson setup, but it only has the first 3 classes before you need to pay. Nevertheless, it has good content and is another good place to start, especially since 3 classes will actually get you pretty far.
Video Dictionaries http://www.aslpro.com/ http://www.signasl.org/ https://www.signingsavvy.com/
Also, use YouTube. I don’t know of any specific channels, but there are a lot of deaf youtubers who use ASL, just make sure it’s actually ASL they’re using and not like German or British Sign Language. Sometimes you can sorta follow along, other times, its completely different.
There are also a ton of apps for Sign Language out there, but I haven’t found any free ones I’ve really liked yet. Definitely worth poking around, though.
If anyone has anything they’d like to add to this list, please do!
Because I don't have enough shit to deal with
I found out last week that I have bursitis in my hip. I stg I am not old enough for this shit. For those who don't know (I didn't), bursitis is inflammation of the synovial fluid filled sacs that cushion your joints. It's not the worst pain I've experienced but when your hips hurt so bad you can't sit, that's fucked up.
Just when I thought I was out of the game...
I've been in remission for a few months. I finished a gut busting round of antibiotics and shortly after started medicating with cannabis. O. M. G. The cannabis is a miracle worker. I've been completely flare-free for a couple months. The last time that happened I cut everything out of my diet except eggs and kale. Just because I'm not having an active flare doesn't mean I can't post. But I didn't feel like I had anything to contribute the past few weeks. Well. This morning I woke up with a small flare on my waistline and a fucking monster on my labia. It's not huge in diameter, maybe half an inch. But it's also raised from my skin about half an inch. Like a double-size hearing aid battery got implanted under my skin. I'm a little nervous about this one, y'all. I can't figure out if it's just inflamed or if it's full of ick that is going to drain. Ugh it's so gross and I want it gone.
I installed a bidet add-on to my toilet today. My nethers have never felt so clean. Or so cold.
Migraine Hangover
People don't tell you about the migraine hangover. I'm worthless for at least the 12 conscious hours following a migraine. Brain fog Fatigue A general achiness Fatigue Brain fog Inability to give a fuck about anything except the fact that you survived another migraine. Things I can do with a migraine hangover: Go to work (barely) Color my hair (nope!) Yard work (hell no) Interact with others (lol why) Watch a movie (with the loud car chase and fight scenes and music swells? Ayfkm?!) Lay on the couch and read a book (yes yes that I can do)
I woke up with a migraine and the Aleve/imitrex combo wasn't working so well. I thought I'd give this cannabis-for-migraines thing a shot. I used a small amount, as the last thing I wanted was to be high with a migraine. The nausea went away immediately. A second dose took care of the headache. All in all, a successful trial.
When my doctor has look up my diagnosis
I’m just like:
Confession #2,143
when’s there gonna be an “end the stigma” fucking facebook ribbon or something for “gross” health issues b/c i want to vent to my friends about ibs and be validated but i can’t because i know they’ll get grossed out and it’s not socially acceptable.
Or tell them about the painful weird lesions in your private regions that look like boils but aren't
Shout out to the "ew you have what that's gross" spoonies.
Finally ready to admit I might have fibro but I'm kicking and screaming all the way. I prefer being in a state of denial.
My friend explained the spoon theory to our DM and he was like “ohhh so it’s like when you’re out of spell slots and you need to take a long rest to regain them all” and now I keep thinking of myself as being out of spell slots instead of out of spoons
It’s perfect actually because taking a shower is like a 2nd level task, whereas making an important phone call is a 5th. If you’re out of 5th level task slots, you can’t do that phone call. However you can expend higher level slots to take that shower if you’ve spent your lower task slots on dishes, eating, and getting dressed.
THANK YOU FOR REBLOGGING THIS FRIENDO BECAUSE THIS IS A PERFECT COMPARISON AND IT HAS RESTORED ME
…suddenly spell slots make sense to me. ok all magic users in dnd are spoonies it’s official
I’m going to drawing drawing this comparison for friends who “just don’t get” the spoons analogy. :)
@theecrohniegrace @graphicallyill
Oh.
I like this.
Cannabis update
I'm still in disbelief. I've been using cannabis now for a month. My HS tends to get worse the week before my period so I wanted to wait until I'd gone through a full menstrual cycle before getting too excited. I vape every few days. I've been flare-free this month except for the one that popped up this week. Also I'm premenstrual and haven't vaped for a few days. Last night I took my medicine ;) and this morning my flare was completely gone. It could be a coincidence. All I know is that yesterday it hurt like a bitch and today it's gone. Hooray for cannabis!
I realized something this weekend. I'm not working a job that requires 1500000% dedication and uses every last coping skill I have. I'm not working a job that requires my time 24/7. I've started writing and photographing again. First time since college. Huh. I have reallocated my goal-directed behavior spoons. I like.
