Iâm a whiney bitch when he is gone and has no contact. Didnt talk to him Saturday to Thursday last week, and now we cant talk again. I saw a dead body this morning. Then me and a friend almost got tboned by a dude running a red light at like 50mph. And then I found what appears to be a new tumor on Kruger. Yay for everything happening now.
When I read this, I wanted to cry. I know it's not a cure (yet), and that it's still fairly early stages of testing and everything else, but it's hope for those of us with PCOS. Or for those who have partners or loved ones with it, because of as of right now, there is no cure, you can only manage it. So here's to hope!
So much shit has happened in the last year. Some good, some bad. We got a jeep, then it blew up 3 weeks later, so we bought a brand new car. Then a few months later, my husband's car gets stolen. It gets found 2 weeks later, and then he totaled it on my 21st birthday. Since the wreck wasn't his fault, insurance covered the car and we were able to take out a loan for a truck. Which was great. I was put back on metformin and birth control, and was to skip periods. Well, didn't even make it 5 weeks on pills and I started bleeding, it wouldn't stop, I passed something abnormal, and ended up at the ER, and they still can't tell me for sure if it was an early miscarriage (if so, I didn't know), or just a uterine cast. My vasovagal syncope decided to be crazy and my heart rate went to 0 for 4 seconds and I woke up to my husband almost crying and trying to wake me up after they inserted my IV. So that caused some extra visits to a cardiologist just to be told that I have really bad vasovagal, and my heart is fine. Oh, and my husband suffered fairly severe whiplash and a concussion which now has him taking antidepressants to battle migraines. Then, our dog is diagnosed with a mast cell tumor (cancer) and had to have a very large chunk of tissue from his chest removed and they didn't even get it all. The good thing is I admitted I was having some issues mentally, and am now seeing a therapist and a psychologist, who have diagnosed me with depression and some anxiety. It makes me feel better to know why some things are going on and why I have such highs and lows, but it still sucks. I'm trying to work on not allowing myself to hold on to "nonworkable" thoughts, stop saying "no" to things I enjoy, and to not compare myself to others. I hope to start using this more as a diary, but we'll see. I royally suck at opening up to people, even when my insurance pays them to listen to me. So maybe typing my thoughts will be better.
Exclusive: The Pretty Little Liars star opened up to E! News about her struggles with PCOS and gaining 70 pounds in over two years after her performance on DWTS
Sasha Pieterse is feeling relieved.
During Tuesdayâs episode, the Pretty Little Liars star surprised fans when she got emotional opening up about gaining â70ish poundsâ in two years, which she later learned was due to a hormone condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Her samba with partner Gleb Savchenko was inspired by her struggles with the condition and with the criticism she received on social media over her weight gain, with the performance earning praise from the judges and viewers.
âHonestly, itâs a big relief,â Sasha told E! News after the show about finally revealing her condition to the public. âIâm glad that people know and it really is about awareness and letting that sit for people that may have it and they donât know.â
Aside from finally being able to talk about her struggles with PCOS, Sasha, 21, is hoping her performance inspired women who could possibly have the same condition to seek treatment.
âI really want women who have this to figure it out because it really does affect you later in life,â Sasha, who has lost 15 pounds since joining the show, explained. âIt can lead to ovarian cancer and infertility and breast cancer and all kinds of things. So the fact  that I have that platform and he incorporated that into the dance and we did it and we performed it and it felt awesome is all I can ask for.â
As for Gleb, he was quick to gush over his partner, telling us, âIâm so proud of Sasha. I was so excited after the dance!â
Looking ahead to next week, the couple admitted they were excited they didnât have to learn two dances again and were looking forward to the nightâs âGuilty Pleasuresâ theme, as booth Sasha and Gleb share a similar one: âMy guilty pleasure is baking,â Sasha said, while Gleb added, âI love cooking, too!â
Oh, and for any Pretty Little Liars fans concerned over the future of Emison (Emily and Alison, duh!) after it was announced that Sasha would be starring in a spinoff, The Perfectionists, with Janel Parrish on Freeform, you might want to press play on the video above to receive some very good âship news from Sasha!
Thereâs nothing cute about blood shot eyes from skyping all night. Thereâs nothing cute about trying for months to save up for a plane ticket. Thereâs nothing cute about the inability to be there for the one you love. Long distance relationships are difficult. Theyâre tough and take a toll on those who are involved. Stop romanticizing them. Itâs not always adorable. Itâs not always cute. Things get rough - a lot more difficult compared to those who have the pleasure of seeing their significant other whenever they want.

Miniature Australian Shepherd dogs have such a strong tendency to herd that theyâll herd children! They are easygoing, perpetual puppies that love to play! Hereâs the source of the video.
I post dogs about all the time because I love them so much! Hereâs another dog post, although Iâm warning you itâs a tear-jerker.
Of course with the strong herding instinct comes ankle biting because thatâs how they controlled their herd. So be careful with them and young children together!
Kruger had 2 back to back grand mal seizures and David was underway so I had to try to keep our 60lb dog from hurting himself and also calm down from 2 major seizures by myself. And I had to then call multiple vet offices because the 1st two turned me down and we ended up at an ER Vet. His bloodwork showed nothing, so I could either pay $1300 for them to keep him overnight or I could pay the $400 for tests that they'd already done, so tonight I'm camped out beside Kruger on the couch. It's been a hell of a day.
Periods suck and my uterus wants to kill me. One of David's buddies crashed at our house Monday night and of course Tuesday morning around 445 I was awoken by the familiar feeling of blood oozing everywhere so I ran to the bathroom and magically only got blood on the bathroom floor and all over me, and not our carpet. But then i had to make a quick jog back to our bedroom after I cleaned myself up some so I could get new underwear and then run back to the bathroom.. with David's friend still on our couch. I then just crawled back into bed and called in sick to work because I knew I wouldn't be able to function and they got pissed at me. Me missing work is better than me bleeding all over their store.. worst period I've had in a while..
Later he convinces the whole town to set up his wedding with the knowledge that the would-be bride would be thrown into it. Everyone finds his creepy-ass tactics as cute and âboys will be boysâ esque. So yeah, he is terrifying.
Yeah, the truly scary thing about Beauty and the Beast isnât that Gaston exists, but that society fucking loves him. People who deride the movie by saying itâs about Stockholm Syndrome are ignoring that itâs actually about the various ways that truly decent people get othered by society. People donât trust the Beast because of the way he looks, which only feeds his anger issues and pushes him further away. Gaston isnât the only one who criticizes Belle for being bookish, either; the whole town says there must be something wrong with her. And her father gets carted off to a mental asylum for being just a little eccentric.
Howard Ashman, who collaborated on the filmâs score and had a huge influence on the movieâs story and themes, was a gay man who died of AIDS shortly after work on the film was completed. If you watch the film with that in mind, the message of it becomes clear. Gaston demonstrates that bullies are rewarded and beloved by society as long as they possess a certain set of characteristics, while nice people who donât are ostracized. The love story between Belle and the Beast is about them finding solace in each other after society rejects them both.
Notice how the Beast reacts when the whole town comes for him. Heâs not angry, heâs sad. Heâs tired. And he almost gives up because he has nothing to live for. But then he sees that Belle has come back for him, and suddenly he does. In the original fairy tale, the Beast asks Belle to marry him every night, and the spell is broken when she accepts. In the Disney movie, he waits for her to love him, because he cannot love himself. Thatâs how badly being ostracized from society and told that youâre a monster all your life can fuck with your head and make you stop seeing yourself as human.
Society rewards the bullies because weâve been brought up to believe that their victims donât belong. That if someone doesnât fit in, then they have to be put in their place, or destroyed. And this movie demonstrates that this line of thinking is wrong. Itâs so much deeper than a standard âbe yourselfâ message, and thatâs why itâs one of my favorite Disney movies.
We bought a Jeep last night! It's so nice to have 2 vehicles now, because I can actually go do stuff while David's on duty and we don't have to try to schedule me taking him/picking him up and everything else. I'm also flying home soon and moving all of our belongings and my dog out here. Woo!
We moved into an apartment last weekend, have gotten to see each other every day since, and are actually getting to do married people stuff. I'm still getting used to seeing him every day. We haven't seen each other this often for so long in about a year and a half. I've missed my best friend. Now all we have to do is find me a vehicle and get our stuff here from Alabama. đ
