@jrm_14 I can't figure out what those are. Broccoli? Joints? Stoned broccoli?
I'm on day 2 of Provera and I'm so frigging hungry. It's only 9:50 in the morning, and I would kill for a McDonald's cheeseburger. I've already had two waffles, a bite of a cupcake, a hunk of feta cheese, and a Kit Kat. I expect to gain ten pounds in the next three days.

@jsnakehole well really you’re just getting food for the dog then and it would be rude to let him eat by himself!
Me and Fi decided to do homemade gifts for Christmas this year and I’ve gotten way too into it and want to make homemade gifts for everyone now. I’m really excited because I’m gonna do different infused alcohol for family members and I’ve never done it before. The one I’m most excited to do is strawberry infused rum for SIL to make strawberry daiquiris, I might have to make extra for taste tests...
@CraftyG Definitely make extra for taste tests! That sounds like so much fun and a great gift! @jsnakehole Good luck finding better cupcakes today! Bad cupcakes are definitely not worth the calories.
DH is working at church today so I just did a bunch of yard work and raked up a ton of leaves. He had better be impressed when he gets home! But now there's a huge pile of dishes and I don't want to do them, so I may leave them for him as a trade off.

@nitnat007. That makes me sad. She probably has more sex than me, too.
Team+spouse game night went well. I had really delicious non-alcoholic berry Spumante. Judge me. My autoimmune stuff has been out of control. The last thing it needed was booze.
So DH has a friend, who has been very nice to me but is, objectively, absolutely batshit crazy. She carried on extremely toxic relationships with married men yet complains about how she can never find a good man, has an eating disorder and a million medical problem (real or otherwise) but claims to be fine, etc. Definitely not someone I would want as my life coach, but she's always been very kind to me. For the intents of this ramble, we'll call her Jenna (like Jenna Maroney of '30 Rock'. Because she definitely has a streak of "I'll do it... but only for the attention").
Jenna texted my husband today about getting together to discuss parenting, as she knows DH and are trying. We didn't understand why she would want to talk about it, so he asked her- and it turns out she wants to adopt an infant. And supposedly her psychiatrist thinks it's a great idea- a claim I find dubious at best. I don't even think DH and I would ask her to babysit. She has so many issues she needs to resolve- there's no way she could be a single mother. All I could think about is the scene from '30 Rock' (because I have a '30 Rock' moment to relate to all parts of my life) where Jenna Maroney says that motherhood would humanize her and Liz Lemon goes "Don't adopt. That child is better off in Somalia. It can be a pirate, or a warlord's concubine!" because Jenna is such a nightmare. That's how I felt when I heard this Jenna is considering adoption. I'm all for people making their family in a way they see fit, but I really hope any adoption agency she works with realizes she is not a person to be a stable parent for any child.

@jsnakehole After “married man” thing, that is not where I thought that story was going. Whew! Did they end up getting together? I have never seen 30 Rock, so I don’t quite get the reference. I understand you are saying that overall, this person has some seriously questionable life choices. I, too, have an eating disorder, and have for most of my life. I’ve been in and out of hospitals, residential, inpatient, and outpatient treatment for 15 years. The last 3, I’ve been further into recovery than ever. TTC has been a struggle not to relapse because, well, control. I also have an autoimmune disease that is progressive and serious. I struggle a lot with ‘should I conceive when I act like this towards my own body? When my body already fights itself on an immune level? Am I a worthy enough person to be a mom?’ When I don’t take my antidepressant, I have thoughts like, “I don’t even think my husband would be impacted if I wasn’t alive” and then lay in bed for days, empty, inside myself. So, add some major depression in there, too. I totally know what you were saying was she has a lot of shit to get together before she becomes a mother. I am saying that despite mental illness, many women are great mothers. ❤️ Getting all types of medical&mental health in-check is imperative before expanding a family-you’re so right! It sounds like her issues go above & beyoynd currently being managed correctly, though. Shit needs to be figured out as it seems like her life is pretty unstable! I hope that she can learn how to effectively manage her challenges so she can grow her family in a healthy environment.
@jrm_14 lol I'm here! just wanted to say that you're awesome for being so open and honest about your struggles. A lot of people try to hide them and it shows how strong you are that you can talk about them like that. Keep up the good fight!
@offtoneverland@darkstar42 Thanks, friends ❤️ We all fight our own battles. Mental illness is manageable with the right supports and the desire to do so. Thankful for a supportive community here.
@dukestar5 Of course, any excuse for me to make extra and spread the joy!
@SmashJam yeah I always thought it would be a really long process but apparently you can infuse it just for a few weeks and it will be great. My plan is to make extra now and keep it in the cupboard so then I’ll have some already to give as presents for next year too, or just to see me through the year, whichever comes first...
I have been having incredibly ridiculous dreams lately. Like, two days ago my family and I had to swing through super tall trees by standing on them and grabbing the trees behind us, swinging them forward and then jumping onto that bunch of trees, then repeating the process.
Yesterday's I remember being slightly weird, but the only detail I remember is my hs bf and his wife were in it. That's not super weird it happens a lot.
The dream I remember from last night I don't remember the premise to but I laughed obnoxiously loud a lot and said, "spoiler alert!" so often that I started to see the annoyance on everyone's face, even in the dream.
@smashjam I've been having super weird dreams the last few nights too. Mostly I can't remember dreams within 30 seconds of waking up, but since Thursday I've had lots of people from different places and times in my life all coming together in dreams. This freaks me out to "mix" people in real life and obviously does in my dreams too!

@jrm_14 That was so strong of you to share. Thank you!
@jsnakehole It sounds like she doesn't have a handle on things. FWIW, I've been looking into adoption and it's really not easy. She'd have to be very responsible and ready for multiple meetings and need to meet certain requirements before being considered. I would hope if adopting is what she really wants, then the process would either help her realize she needs to get her ish together or realize that she's not currently up for the challenge.
I posted and ghosted (or more like posed and fell asleep) last night.
@jrm_14 I totally get what you're saying, and I would never judge a person's ability to parent based on them having an eating disorder or mental illness (especially since I've suffered from both myself). But with this particular person, she refuses to get well (mostly because she insists on going to doctors who just 'yes' her rather than treating her condition), and refuses all help. She's gone through rough times and she would tell MH how much she needs help and is ready to get well and when he would try to give her advice or support, she'd flip out and not speak to us (and most of her other friends) for months. And I'm sorry if my comments caused hurt towards you, that was not my intention.
A lot of this girl's issues, from what I can tell, stem from her really really unhealthy relationship with her mother. I would just hate to see the cycle repeating itself.

@jsnakehole, from my perspective, I told get what you were saying. My mother has several mental health issues (anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, depression, etc.). And has suffered on and off from anorexia my whole life. She is a wonderful mother, and has been a great grandmother and helps with her grandchildren.
On the other hand, I know other people with similar issues, and well, they should not be responsible for another human being.
@jrm_14, you got this. Autoimmune disease is terrible. And I get the loss of control with eating to an extent (binge eating disorder here) and worry how to care for someone when you don't always feel l like you can care for yourself. TW prekids, I was terrified if I would have the strength to hold them with how bad my arms can hurt, but I got stronger as they got older. I know that won't be the case for every disease, but my point is, the body can adapt to its new expectations.
Two randoms today: 1) What is with the weird black and white photo challenge on Facebook? The pictures are so weird and silly but so many people are doing it. I hate the Facebook photo challenges...maybe that should be my FFFC. I think I just need to bite the bullet and cancel my FB account already. (Okay, I just deactivated it. I feel so free!) 2) Has anyone heard about the upcoming mobile game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite? DH said it's going to be like Pokemon Go, but for HP stuff! I'm so excited. I will definitely have to upgrade my cheapo phone in order to play it, but it'll totally be worth it.
Spent my weekend working on the dollhouse tw (talking about dsd)
Santa gave dsd a dollhouse kit for Christmas last year. She helps with it when she's here and picked out the colors, etc. I do most the work though. In theory I hope to have it finished by this Christmas.

@jsnakehole I know it was not your intention to hurt anyone else. Thank you for the clarification on how this person’s lack of personal responsibility for herself and her issues need to be addressed. Life is hard!
@holly321. Thanks for the cheer & sharing ❤️ Nice to hear those worries about things like weak arms, etc, happen to others.
My dog got skunked last night. Ugh, why?!? Poor DH had to deal with it by himself and was up until almost 2am cleaning up. Our house stinks and now I’m at work paranoid that I smell like skunk. Temps are in the 40’s and we had the windows open all day. I’m really hoping it’ll be a little better when I get home this morning!

@jrm_14, you got this. Autoimmune disease is terrible. And I get the loss of control with eating to an extent (binge eating disorder here) and worry how to care for someone when you don't always feel l like you can care for yourself. TW prekids, I was terrified if I would have the strength to hold them with how bad my arms can hurt, but I got stronger as they got older. I know that won't be the case for every disease, but my point is, the body can adapt to its new expectations.
1) What is with the weird black and white photo challenge on Facebook? The pictures are so weird and silly but so many people are doing it. I hate the Facebook photo challenges...maybe that should be my FFFC. I think I just need to bite the bullet and cancel my FB account already. (Okay, I just deactivated it. I feel so free!)
2) Has anyone heard about the upcoming mobile game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite? DH said it's going to be like Pokemon Go, but for HP stuff! I'm so excited. I will definitely have to upgrade my cheapo phone in order to play it, but it'll totally be worth it.

Santa gave dsd a dollhouse kit for Christmas last year. She helps with it when she's here and picked out the colors, etc. I do most the work though. In theory I hope to have it finished by this Christmas.

@holly321. Thanks for the cheer & sharing ❤️ Nice to hear those worries about things like weak arms, etc, happen to others.
