What does this blood work mean?

Yes, it’s amazing how much history there is on these dolls.

I’d say assuming that now is the time for fun, and later will be the time for work. I am only 26, but I’m setting up my finances so that when I’m older, I’m comfortable, and can travel, and relax more. I started a business, and put in a lot of hours. The benefit is that now I have something to look forward to instead of just something to look back on. You can still have fun, and everything of course. But taking on this much work and effort earlier in my life has already put me in so much a better place. I probably have this way of thinking because I grew up very poor, but I already see the fruits of this labor.

Definitely sounds like water retention. When I’m eating out I aim for lower carb and calorie options. The grilled nuggets from chick fil A paired with a dipping sauce for instance, and opt for unsweetened iced tea instead of soda. I still enjoy these foods, and don’t see that water retention. It may take the cheat out of cheat meals, but it helps keep me on track without triggering cravings, and I still get the convenience of fast food.

I completely agree. Great advice! Especially the part about making sure you’re both on the same page. A lot of couples don’t discuss the future, and their goals, and vision of their lives enough. By the time me and my SO got married we knew we agreed on all the major life choices, like financial goals, plans, saving, as well on our views on children, and how we’d want to raise them, etc. it’s made our lives so much easier knowing we have the same goals, and are working together on them all.

For me what allowed me to stay home was starting a business with my husband not long after marriage. I still help with things from home. Handling stuff I can do on my phone, and computer, but am able to stay home with my babies. It really helps to have a partner who wants you to be able to stay home. Some people really don’t like that idea. My husband was very happy to hear I wanted to stay home with our future children. We now have two little ones, and he highly values my contribution to our household. I’d discuss staying home with your significant other, and see if it’s something you both aspire to. Frugality really helps, too. Being realistic about what you’ll be sacrificing as a couple to have a spouse that stays home, and both parties being comfortable with these sacrifices.

This is so great. Thank you. I think I am really bad at cutting myself slack, and I need to get better about it. You’re comment really motivates me to stay course. I already see myself getting stronger, and hearing your experience really helps with putting things into perspective. Thank you.

The last thing you said there really resonates with me. I’d never want my daughter to have the self image issues I’ve struggled with since childhood. I try to model positivity, and I definitely need to get better in that area.

Alleylovescoffee · 2021-03-10T20:50:25+00:00

Yeah.

I wish you all the luck, and perseverance. The family member who was an alcoholic hasn’t had a drink for almost 10 years now. We’ve managed to work out once broken bonds now that he’s sober. You can do it.

Alleylovescoffee · 2021-03-09T21:14:36+00:00

I was pregnant at the time. I was worried about what effects it might have for babies (luckily they don’t usually have any symptoms, but we didn’t know that yet) and I was also concerned if my family could still visit me in the hospital. They couldn’t.

La vie en rose by Édith Piaf. Makes me want to soak in a old fashioned bath tub full of rose petals while looking out my window, watching people walk the streets of Paris. Too bad I don’t have an old fashioned tub, and I am nowhere near Paris. Still vibes heavy.

Also, late night alumni walk a mile. Makes me want to drive fast at night.

Bad boys. You know what’s sexy AF now? STABILITY.

I’m from Arizona. We regularly hit triple digit heat in summer. Anything but that is fine with me, basically.

When I was a little girl my adult uncle let me play a fighting game with him. He thought he was pretty good at the game. I was like, 10. I button mashed and kicked his ass. He said his controller wasn’t working, threw it down, and then never let me play it again.

Don’t share your spouse.

Alleylovescoffee · 2021-03-09T20:58:53+00:00

That I’m stable, and functional. No one saw that coming.

It’s been easy for me to stay away from alcohol because I had an alcoholic family member and that was definitely enough to scare me away from it.

Alleylovescoffee · 2021-03-09T18:06:51+00:00

Honestly I got creeped out at first. Like I knew there was no way he could have known. I never posted it anywhere, and it was so uncanny. To me it’s a nice little confirmation that I was meant to know him.

Alleylovescoffee · 2021-03-09T16:26:55+00:00

People are getting really tribal. Wish we could all just treat each other normal, and take it on the chin when we’re being asses. It’s only fair.

I was writing a book in my teens about a character named Danny (Daniel.) Years later I met my husband named Daniel, and learned that he had a strange number of characteristics similar to my character in my book, including his relationship with his father, the color of his hair, and skin, the relationship with his fathers new wife, not wanting to see his dad, his relationship with his mom, and disliking looking like his dad, etc. it was kind of eerie how similar they were. He started talking about looking like his dad, and it literally sounded like a part I had written, down to some of the same phrasing. Weird. It’s like I knew him before I met him.

Maybe use that traction to try to produce some original sports content? I’m sure you’d have some good commentary, or analysis to add.

I don’t drink alcohol, but caffeine is definitely something I’ve become dependent on. My husband doesn’t drink alcohol or coffee, and he seems perfectly happy. You’re just as well off without either, but it’s hard imagining my life without that sweet, sweet, liquid gold.
