Life is Crazy: Update in the Midst of a Pandemic

Shit. Is. Crazy.
I realize that I haven't written here in a while, and for that I apologize, mostly to myself.
Writing is something that I really enjoy, but I've been so busy with school, then, well, you know...
Honestly I think we have ALL heard enough about the Coronavirus Pandemic by now, wouldn't you agree?
I personally have been out of work and taking classes online since mid-March.
I am grateful that my family and I are taken care of and healthy.
I am grateful, as I started a new medication recently, and this is a good time for my body to adjust to it.
I am grateful that I've gotten to work out way more. It makes me feel strong as hell, and slightly more sane.
I am grateful that my friends are well.
Despite all of the absolute insanity, uncertainty, and anxiety, I am grateful.
(Side note: I also really want a hug, like, so badly. Shout out to my fellow "physical touch is my love language" people.)
Being home I've also gotten to organize and clean things, and watch (way too much of!) some shows I've been wanting to see.
Oh, what are they, you ask?
Namely Community and Schitt's Creek.
I couldn't tell you what it is about these shows that has me addicted, but I'm watching multiple episodes a day.
In addition to that, my family and I have been watching through Psych for months now. We're almost done Season 6 and I am very very sad that we only have two more seasons after that.
All good things really do come to an end. :(
Other ways that I've been filling my time is baking, taking walks, listening to podcasts, and admittedly, spending hours upon hours on my phone. (Whoops.)
And up until today, I also spent a lot of time keeping up on classwork and projects.
I took my last final this afternoon though, and with that I am officially done the spring semester!! I honestly don't know what I am going to do with myself now that I'll have loads of even more time.
I hope you are all doing well and I hope we get to hug our friends soon.

Talk to you soon!

My Bilateral Salpingectomy Experience

 Hi! Happy almost June! ☀️ Don't listen to me EVER when I say I'll be back soon, because that's proven to be very untrue. I come and go as I like lately. But I am back because I wanted to make a post about my Bisalp experience last January. A bisalp, short for bilateral salpingectomy, is a procedure where both of your fallopian tubes are removed. This is a permanent form of sterilization, and as someone who doesn't want kids, is a choice I am very happy with. :) *NOTE: A bisalp is different from a tubal litigation. The procedure I got completely removes your fallopian tubes. A tubal just ties, cuts, or in some way interrupts the usual path for the egg to travel to the uterus. Bisalps are MUCH more effective and eliminate the risk of an ectopic pregnancy.* I had known that I wanted to be childfree for many many years. So when I got a new gynecologist, I spoke up right away about how I was interested in this procedure. My doctor is AMAZING, so we began the process immedia...

Ramblings: Past & Future

I think I'm too stuck on the past. I think I'm too stuck on the future. There are nights that my entire heart aches, remembering what it was like to be a kid. Remembering the ease and simplicity and beauty of the days. Smiling at the memories I made with my family. Wishing that now a scraped knee was the most painful thing I would experience. Yearning for my sweet innocence and present-focused mind. I didn't think much about the future at all. My worst fear was that I wouldn't finish my homework in time to go outside and play. There are days where my heart races and my body is paralyzed at the thought of the future. Thinking of what lies ahead in the coming months, but more often, years and decades. Sometimes I am able to smile and feel at peace with the future I have dreampt about for myself. But I also know that life rarely works out the way you want. I fear all the coming troubles and challenges that I don't believe I could handle. I think I thin...

Winter Favorites!

Image
This is going to be the bloggiest blog post I've written so far. Yesterday was the winter solstice, and even though it sure has been feeling like winter here for some time, now it's official. So I thought I'd do a brief post on three of my favorite products that I use in the winter! The first is Carmex lip balm. This comes in a tube, a stick, and a little pot. Right now I'm using the stick, as it's the most convenient. This stuff is magic y'all. Nothing soothes and smooths my lips like this. I put it on every night before bed, and once it gets cold (like now) I use it throughout the day as well. The biggest con with this is that it'll leave some pretty sticky lip marks on your water glass. But that is a small price to pay for all the pros. Carmex retails for about $2.79 at my local Target for a pack of three. The second is Hemp Hand Protector Hand Cream from the Body Shop. This moisturizer is INCREDIBLE. It doesn't matter ...
