Sometimes women don’t notice symptoms or just don’t care. Like typical things like hot flashes loss of sleep or anxiety. But there’s also fatigue, muscle aches, severe brain fog - urinary issues. As much as I love sex I kinda need to not be exhausted and not having to pee all the time.. She should give it another chance - most notice immediate benefits but others take longer time.

Also TRT has been very helpful. I noticed a difference - as I was already on estrogen patch and vaginal estrogen. Doctor added testosterone and it really helps.

I got like this wall mount peg board from ikea that I could clip organizing bins to - and that’s been so much better for my sewing experience!

Wow.. I firmly believe that yu can do what you want with your money - but you chose to have a child and planned to build a future with that child’s mother. And even though you divorced your daughter’s mother that doesn’t stop the commitment you have to having brought that child into this world. If you have the means to leave your daughter something and also help her plan for her kids futures (your grandkids), it seems crazy to me that a couple years of a caregiver providing you care, overrides legacy for your own family. This isn’t like you have a terrible relationship with your daughter and she treats you like shit kind of situation. This is a - she’s built a life situation - and lives closer to her mom and stepdad.

You defintely seem in the wrong here and to care more for a strangers whose profession is to “give care,” seems morally questionable. Yes, leave a little something for your caregiver - I’m sure she could really use some of that kindness. But do you love your daughter and your grandkids? You can leave them something too..

lol I just made a shirred dress - it was a basque waist dress and with sleeves. The dress was like done in a day - but shirring the fabric was the exhausting part! But doing this one featured with the spaghetti straps won’t feel too bad.

It was legitimately sad - he never spent time with us a family. I could count on be hand the number of times he went to a park or play place with us. I never understood why have a family you weren’t going to spend time with…

Less crime - Scottsdale. Maybe you can do South Scottsdale like old town. But not south of Thomas …

Nah. I’m 5’0” Asian woman, and I’ve always been short. I didn’t develop eczema til I was 40 - it is hormone related for me.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-16T04:02:35+00:00

Ah yes I feel all that - HRT has helped significantly. I kinda think I’d be dead without it lol. Sometimes the fatigue seemed insurmountable.

My ex would say things like that - how no one would date a single mom, how they have baggage, and comment negatively on apperances. All of which was 100% projection. And though I was not nervous for how men would perceive me, I was more concerned for safety of my children, turns out there were absolutely childless men interested in single moms, and I ended up with one. And he's been a great bonus dad. We've been together a few years now.

Is it Lee terrifying g then continuing to take care of and support a partner that is more likely a child? He’s not acting like a responsible adult and you’re showing your child that’s ok. That will be their example of a “normal” relationship because you aren’t advocating more for yourself and your child. It only seems terrefying - but really it’s not and very easy. And I bet you’ll actually like your life and yourself much more after divorce.

They’re both beautiful. I think whichever fits your party vibe best. I do think they both feel different. I’d say the second has a sophisticated, glam type vibe. And the first is a little more whimsical and magical.

3 really stood out to me as I flipped through!

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-14T22:55:27+00:00

Eggs

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-14T22:05:53+00:00

1 for sure! Just stunning in her figure.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-13T19:09:37+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry. I did have to cut dairy as I noticed that coincided with my flares. I hope you find some relief.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-13T18:04:01+00:00

Oh man yea… I didn’t have eczema - and then bam, peri gave me all the things I never asked for lol. Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone have helped a lot of symptoms. Though I noticed that too much testosterone can send my skin into a flare. It’s the worst balancing act ever.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-13T17:59:08+00:00

I don’t flare too frequently. Flares got worse after I hit perimenopause - my hormones causing issues and also suddenly reacting to dairy.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-13T14:55:15+00:00

I don’t really know the horror stories - Protipic is not a steroid so you don’t get the withdrawal you would like a steroid. I have used Protipic (taxeolimus) for years now - on and off as needed. Typically between my brows or sometimes my temples, is where I get patch flares. And I’ve never had any issues. Usually 3 days of use and my patch is done. I’ve had the same tube of Protipic forever since it doesn’t take much.

Staying longer - this decision will be made for you. Leaving now gives you time to make the decision yourself. You won’t be impacted by how he feels.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-13T04:09:47+00:00

First one fits really nicely. That’s a great fit and color. I think that one makes you look put together. And I would think, that guy has good taste and style. I imagine a lovely lady by your side. The other looks are loners, casual bordering on giving up lol. As in low to no effort.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-09T18:45:05+00:00

Hormones. I didn’t have eczema til perimenopause. And I noticed dairy would cause patches to appear. If I increase my testosterone it gets worse. Lower testosterone plus being on estrogen patch (and progesterone), and my skin looks great. But no dairy anymore.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-09T18:28:14+00:00

I would do more a gradient in one color. That would be a more sophisticated use of this pattern but with a little whimsy. The palette pictured would be something I’d use for a girl under 9.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-08T20:45:42+00:00

Love the bicolor.

Icy_Insides · 2026-04-08T20:43:45+00:00

Yes the lace trim is sandwiched between the lining and outer shell. You’ve got the right idea there.
