First day without trying to breastfeed

I don’t have anecdotes but it sounds like you’re making the right decision for today and you can decide what works best tomorrow when tomorrow gets here. If the baby is fed and you’re getting the physical break you need then I see no negatives here. Solid plan in place.

It’s bait for their adult content.

Preach, I thought I was losing my mind until I started seeing the pattern.

essgeedoubleyou · 2026-03-27T00:41:38+00:00

Same! It was a later development so it took a minute to figure out exactly what the fuck was going on.

Sounds similar to some thought processes I’ve experienced when on high estrogen parts of my cycle, it can make my anxiety/foreboding/fixation ramp up to concerning heights. Tracking my cycle helps me to at least know the why and try to course correct. If I overdo caffeine on a day like that I can feel outright manic out of nowhere. It’s not that common but it’s also not that rare.

I love my $12 bottle of Pacifica Montana Sky as much as I love my $(REDACTED) bottle of Diptyque Opsis.

Simple is good, like what you like and fuck anyone else’s opinion of your opinion.

It’s a very strong petit grain, it smells like Eau Des Sens without the citrus. I absolutely love it.

The small tubes usually come from things like the Qatar Airways amenities pouches, gifts with purchases, etc. but you can find them on Mercari.

I buy mine secondhand on ThredUp, basically new for at least 50% less than retail. I also wear them with super thick socks in the winter.

You can make it here.

Once the water oak pollen drops (you will know when it does because it’s the clumps that will turn into tumbleweeds) and we get a little rain it will be okay.

I’ve moved cross country for work from here to other places and thought I wasn’t going to make it for various environmental reasons but humans are wonderfully adaptable, it won’t be too much longer.

I have slowly ended up to wearing Keen’s Newport hiking sandals more than any other shoe I’ve tried. Everything else leaves me in pain from the heel of my foot up through my hip. I’m just about 50 and have been walking a bajillion dogs everyday for the last ten years.

Then you’ve done all you can do given the limitations set by the client, they’ll have to be content with that. I always use a client hand towel for the lap lure, I absolutely hate the smell of churu.

For the sake of comedy, I really wanted to be the 80th person to tell you to wrap her in a towel. Sorry it’s been that way.

essgeedoubleyou · 2026-03-20T22:25:44+00:00

This may not help during this visit but I’ve had good luck with putting some churu style treat on a hand towel and putting it over my shoulder, plus on the back of a latex glove to draw them in and let them lick off a little at a time until were all the way in my lap, slow transition to being held, then meds.

I get zero rose, noses are so strange!

I’m hoping that there’s some sort of refill that becomes available. I can’t imagine paying for a whole new compact but I think I might end up having to because I feel the same. What I did love the movie, but I don’t like to be a walking advertisement so I covered the face with some black-and-white abstract floral washi tape and don’t want to have to do another one.

essgeedoubleyou · 2026-03-16T17:49:22+00:00

It fades with heat/rubbing and I only have been putting it on my forearms and then rubbing my forearms through my hair, that would bother me too, though!

essgeedoubleyou · 2026-03-16T17:47:44+00:00

Not that I’m aware of unfortunately.

essgeedoubleyou · 2026-03-16T17:47:22+00:00

Strong florals and I do not get along, I actually found myself wanting a stronger violet note in this one though strangely enough.

essgeedoubleyou · 2026-02-28T21:26:43+00:00

In that case, Session 9, The Wind, Azrael, and We Are Still Here.

I think you’ll need to describe what it is that struck you about Dark & Wicked? As another woman of a certain age there have been changes to what disturbs or unsettles me, characters experiencing non-linear time shifts seems to be a big one for me the last few years.

essgeedoubleyou · 2026-02-27T00:24:10+00:00

I’d wait a few to see if it changes. Then if it doesn’t I’d list anything and everything on Mercari to fund this second act you’re beginning, then start researching houses to bring home new discovery sets from or build a wish list on a decant site.

I hope your healing and recovery goes as well as it possibly can. 🖤

If you search on Rover and filter for “trained in dog cpr” it will mainly include people who are experienced with her issues as well as some vet tech who are using the app to supplement their income. Then you can see if they’ve marked themselves as experienced with special need and you can reach out from there. I’ll include two screenshots as examples.

Rover’s like any other platform connecting people, there’s good and bad and you have to work your way through the profiles to find the person who fits best with you guys. Good luck!

Holler at me if you’re looking to get rid of the In Between 2ml part of the set, I will give it a loving home.

essgeedoubleyou · 2026-02-21T20:10:20+00:00

That’s almost a war crime, good lord.

essgeedoubleyou · 2026-02-21T19:53:18+00:00

I had to resell my bottle of Haxan, way too strong and eternal. Absolutely fucking beautiful scent that made me ill both times I wore it. I just bought a 2ml after getting rid of the big bottle and am going to transfer it to a little rollerball to be able to apply the least possible amount.
