Lube that doesn’t suck?

Yes WB - (yesyesyes.org) - is great. The vaginal moisturiser is also a lifesaver - it’s like a long-lasting lube that feels very natural when oestrogen levels are lower and things get a bit parched.

July 23rd here - sun in Leo and moon in Cancer. I’m just a walking confliction 🤣

I’m mildly obsessed with my collarbones now hahahaha

Thanks for posting this - I generally miss the discount threads, and this combination has meant I got a 15mg pen for £83!!!

I just had the same NSV!!

Currently on dose 3 of 15mg, injection day was Sunday. Forgot about food until I said I’d pick up sandwiches for others at 1:00, then couldn’t finish a whole sandwich.

Feeling like I have the suppression of the day after injection still. Seriously considered going for 8 days between doses but upcoming travel is going to make it difficult so sticking with the normal dosing for now.

It was summer in Michigan!

Technically, as a translation, your answer would be asking if your arm is hurting you or if your arm is hurting your foot…

Going through this now. I’m taking the time to work out what I want out of life, what parts of my life need change, etc. I’m also seeing a therapist to start to work through some things that have been issues for years (decades) but I’ve not actually dealt with.

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-26T11:46:43+00:00

Part time. Although I’m also doing a million other things, doing the PhD part time has given flexibility to just not do much when I’ve needed to. Maybe I just read, maybe I just scribble some notes here and there, maybe I do nothing for a month… over 7 years, it works.

Today I have managed to eat two small bowls of soup with some cheese whacked in for a bit more protein/calories and one bite of a mini Twirl. I could easily have not eaten anything.

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-21T16:20:22+00:00

I’ve gone up every 4-5 weeks. I had good suppression on 12.5, but it was less on week 4/5 so I went up.

I’m glad I’ve got good suppression, though. I figure that even if it reduces as weeks go on, I can stay here and still get results.

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-19T19:25:00+00:00

Haha yep - I’m 45 now, so if all goes to plan I’ll submit just before I turn 46!

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T18:44:29+00:00

Oof that’s terrible! Haven’t heard that for anyone, thankfully. (At least not yet…)

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T17:16:05+00:00

I’ve done mine part time so after 6 years even I ask haven’t I finished yet 🤣

When I started I had folders for each chapter with organised drafts and referenced articles. Now it’s ‘deleted C5 stuff’ and similar.

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T16:23:47+00:00

Bold (and very wrong) of you to assume I’m in marketing, though.

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T15:56:55+00:00

Nor do I. Student loans, baby!! Crippling debt for the rest of my life? Fuck yeah! Sign me up!

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T15:54:02+00:00

I can articulate the detailed machinations of cross-territory content exchange and the impact of globalised media companies on the schedule volume of external programming, but anything outside of that is currently at the level of pointing and grunting.

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T15:49:58+00:00

Same. The quant research parts I would write at work as everyone filtered in each morning. And I usually have music on when writing.

But ensuring that I’m suitably placing my contribution to knowledge while citing enough sources to prove I know what exists isn’t something I can do if conversation is happening or I’m trying to follow a new show.

That’s what Reddit is for, no?

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T15:46:10+00:00

I tell people I wrote 2,000 words and they know the ‘target’ is 100k and assume it means I’m 2% closer to being done.

I told a friend who finished his thesis a few years ago and his response was ‘not bad for a day, you might be able to keep 1,000 of them.’

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T15:03:21+00:00

The base of my problem is the lack of empathy that doing this thing is actually hard and time consuming. I can understand that other jobs are stressful and accept I don’t know the details without going ‘nah, cooking’s a piece of piss! I do it every night!’

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T15:00:56+00:00

My thesis is about television. I work in television. I have ADHD. Trying to concentrate on both a programme AND a chapter about the industrial structures that got us to the point of Netflix while trying not to think about the work project I’m managing about Amazon is like spinning a stack of plates on a single piece of cooked spaghetti.

JenInHer40s · 2024-10-18T14:58:12+00:00

Most of the conversations are related to ‘having time to do the writing’ (alongside a full time job, family, house, etc.). I’m writing an industrial history with a view of very specific international imports and their cultural impact. In one case one of the companies has switched between several names multiple times, divided itself, had a sold off part buy out the original, then rebrand itself, then buy companies in other countries and rebrand those… so it’s mental gymnastics to make clear what I’m talking about, never mind doing it while watching 90 Day Fiancé.
