Oh wow, that makes me want to give up the whole low-sugar thing I have going on.
Posted in So I'm having my first surgery today Posted 3 years ago
...and I'm pretty nervous. I have an umbilical hernia from the time I shoved a tiny human out of my belly. The first surgeon I spoke to took MONTHS to schedule me a surgery, I even got reprimanded for calling to check up on that whole process. The office call with him consisted of a poke in the belly, followed by the doc telling me I was fat and trying to sell me a weight loss surgery on top of what I needed. When the time finally came, my insurance changed and they couldn't cover me. We found a new surgeon and the guy actually gave me information about what was going on with my body, the surgery and answered all my questions. They called me later that same day and scheduled me for three days later (Almost a full week before the other place had me scheduled)
I'm completely unprepared emotionally. Its been a rollercoaster of "we can/can't/can fix your body" and I'm already exhausted from having a new baby to care for. Now I have to leave my child with a babysitter (my mum) for the first time, and be gone half the day. I'll have to let my husband take care of her and me because she's too big for me to hold after surgery. My heart is broken about not being able to hold my own child, maybe for weeks... and I'm so afraid of hospitals because my family has a history of bad experiences with the horrible health care system we have. AND I CAN'T EVEN STRESS EAT/DRINK. buh.

@star2000shadow: I want to do the same thing, but I'm bad at events lol. I'm trying to at least be present this time. Maybe I'll learn how to post more in general from this if I'm lucky.
@Wildfire: yeah they had cones blocking the front of our house for two months and just got around to the project a few days ago. We thought they forgot about us but no such luck.
Oooh hello! I'll answer some questions!
I love the event items, but im biased lol
My favorite is the one I made ;)
I prefer coffee. All day.
I love fires, best part of camping.
My back yard is covered in so much snow right now... The city tried to re-cement our sidewalks and I can't help but think their timing is awful.

Aw, thanks. I always love seeing folks wear my art!
Posted in what do you do when someone doesn't like you? Posted 3 years ago
I used to get this a LOT because I was super shy and awkward (still am, lol). Then I started confronting people with my feelings and observations. 9 times out of 10 it was a big misunderstanding. Communication is fantastic. Just do it gently, and try not to sound accusatory... "I've been getting the impression that you might not like me very much, is there anything I can do to change that opinion, or am I off base?"

@GoblinsAndTea: Finding your art mojo after going without for so long is such a great feel.
