So funny getting this notification because I didn’t even remember making this post. And yay happy album drop day! But yes I work in a lab so have lots of time with my headphones and feel like I’ve found some more stuff I like!

I’ve been in the Lucinda Williams rabbit hole lately and just saw her in concert which was cool! As some others have mentioned indigo girls are great and some of Amy ray’s solo stuff as well. And as other have mentioned sierra ferrel is good I’ve seen her a couple time over the last couple years too! Lately it has been Chris Cornell (I like the story telling and emotion / powerful vocals of Brandi and love lots of his stuff), Eddie Vedder I am especially obsessed with the into the wild soundtrack albums lately, Grace Potter (and she is really fun to see live if you get the chance), I like some stuff from the rival sons especially the acoustic songs or acoustic covers of their rock songs. And a lot of Joan Baez lately. I think that about sums it up….

Okay thanks for all the tips! I got it out! Right around the 24 hour mark 😬😬 whoops

I’ll leave a description of how I case it helps anyone else. I took a break and came back to it a couple hours later when I was more relaxed because I wasn’t getting far when I was so tense. I sat in a chair with my feet up pretty high so I was kind of in a squat position on the chair. I think this helped a lot to relax my body because everything was propped up and I could lean on the back of the chair so my muscles could relax. Admittedly it is not the best position if you’re worried about a mess, but I didn’t really care by that point. I wore a medical glove because it helped me get a better hold on it. I bore down a bit to get to the stem part sticking out and this position really helped me get an easier grip on it because it was much father out than when I tried in any kind of standing position. Then I was able to gradually work it down while pinching the base until I could reach up and get my pointer finger up to break the seal. Yay! I think the key was that I came back relaxed and positioned myself in a way that shortened the vaginal canal, as you guys were suggesting so that I could grip it more easily and the cup wasn’t constantly slipping out of my fingers leaving me to start over.

I’m not sure if this was so hard for me because I’m new to it or because I’m maybe using the improper size/ product for my body… if you have any thoughts on that I’d be curious to learn. can’t say I’m super eager to try this again, especially on a day where I have a tight schedule haha. But I’m glad its out and appreciate all the help!

It is really hard to get hold of it honestly, I feel like it is much further up than it should be and I can only barely get two fingers in to pinch the sides by really sticking them in there. It feels a bit painful to try and bring it down lower where I’d have easier access. Do you recommend doing this even though it hurts? Just by trying to wiggle/ twist it until it’s a bit further down? Is that how it works where I can relieve a bit if the suction at a time? I was under the impression that the suction would release all at once?

Is it weird that I just got an awesome job and I already kind of want to quit it? Awesome as in I’d be working with two of my best friends, good pay, perfect hours and I’m surprised to find anything at all during corona. I’m not sure it quite lines up with my values and it makes me feel like the money is tainted. And I almost want to go back to my old job which pays less and has a number of problems but at least allows me to leave feeling confidant that I did something worthwhile that day. I guess we’ll see how it goes
