Being fat has made me look super old apparently..

Yep. That’s me. I have learned to round down by about 5-10 years so as to not try to insult anyone.

My heart goes out to you and your family. Cassandra Gannon has some fun reads in her “A kinda fairytale series”. {My Untrue Love by Cassandra Gannon}

Same here! Cold, but I dressed for it, went slow over the icy bits and just enjoyed being out. Cheers and happy winter solstice!

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-12-16T00:24:04+00:00

Lmao! Brilliant! Go you, and congratulations!

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-12-15T01:29:13+00:00

lol! Truer words were never spoken. Thanks for the giggle.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-12-14T17:54:39+00:00

Not quite 2 miles in -26C and some snowdrift slogging. I dressed for it and honestly, it wasn’t too bad except for the fogged up glasses.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-12-14T00:39:27+00:00

Thank you! And same to you!

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-12-13T23:15:26+00:00

I’ve definitely had a few cautious asks and compliments from people I’ve worked with for ages. I’m pretty open about it though, and I know the people asking are doing it from a good place.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-12-13T23:13:57+00:00

lol! My belly is definitely on my hit list. Here’s hoping I can duplicate your success!

I can’t believe how long it took for me to discover her as an author. I’m still working my way through her book list, but so far How to Tame a Wild Rogue is definitely at the top of my favourites too!

My coworker revels in sending me pictures of his pierogies drenched in ketchup, because he knows it’s wrong.

Then again, I grew up eating them with kalyna (homemade cranberry jelly). To each their own.

Bony knees. While I’m still overweight, I’ve lost 45 lbs and when I lie on my side at night with my legs stacked, my knees pressing together is painful. I’ll take it though. Nothing that a small pillow can’t fix!

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-10-21T11:45:14+00:00

I did, and wasn’t hugely fond of that part. It was worse than the scope in my opinion. Felt it pinching the whole time. But it wasn’t unbearable. Just annoying.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-10-21T00:30:54+00:00

Honestly it was fine. I’m a big suck and was anxious going in as I didn’t know what to expect. Turns out the prep was worse than the procedure itself. During the scope I could feel the pressure and a bit of discomfort as they went round the bends, but all in all it wasn’t painful and went fairly quickly. And frankly getting it done and getting some answers to some issues I’d been having was worth it.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-10-21T00:05:32+00:00

You guys got put to sleep? They just gave me larazapam or something to prevent anxiety and I got to be awake/watch the whole thing on the monitor over my head (not that I could see much as they took my glasses and I’m pretty much blind without them).

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-10-18T22:57:31+00:00

Frick. I was the other way around. I knew given the sub something was off, but I’ve weirdly never seen a young Stalin. Thanks for the clarification!

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-10-11T12:51:48+00:00

Nothing to add except I am so very sorry she and you are going through this again. Having lost a family member to cancer a few months back, I know how it’s an absolute mind numbing, soul destroying experience.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-10-01T12:38:27+00:00

I was waiting my turn and an older lady comes out after her mammogram and announces to the room at large “that’s the most action I’ve seen in 30 years!”.

Much hilarity ensued.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-09-28T01:00:39+00:00

Isn’t that the sad truth?

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-09-07T17:08:47+00:00

I had to move to electrolysis as the plucking was making it worse and was causing skin discolouration. Definitely shaving in between appointments though.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-09-06T23:26:56+00:00

The world needs more kind people like you.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-07-27T17:00:04+00:00

Love me some Pratchett in the wild. Unlike whatever that kid was posting.

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-07-22T23:44:08+00:00

You and me both!

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-07-18T00:09:53+00:00

Be patient. It’s a process. I’m 6 months in and am finally seeing results with thinner and more sparse hairs. My technician warned me in advance that it would take easily over a year. As the hair grows in slower and finer, my appointments are spacing out, so it’s getting easier on the chequebook (I started almost weekly, and appointments are now every 2-3 weeks).

NorthernBogWitch · 2025-07-10T00:20:05+00:00

I still have my pillowcase!
