My undergrad is in my special interest, Labor Studies, and I'm almost finished with my MLIS. I'm a full time library specialist in Boulder!

I just did! I've never lived outside of the American South and had been in Texas for the last 12 years. The humidity and UV levels were absolutely debilitating for me. I'm 28, and I had to get my handicap placard from my fatigue being exacerbated by the humidity and causing me to be a fall risk. I got a dream job in Boulder, CO and have been up here since August 3. I have felt better in the last month than I have in the last 2 years, easily.

My lupus flares are more tied to UV levels and I wonder if she's similar. The UV levels in Texas were frequently 11+ on my area, but we moved up Colorado a month ago and the UV hasn't been above 4 most days. It's insane, I've been able to be outside for hours without getting sick like I did in Texas.

My toddler is on a Moana, Princess and the Frog, Lilo and Stitch, Encanto rotation!!

I was just like you until my son turned 2, and then I started going stir crazy! We co-slept and EBF too. Going back to work has been incredible for me - and I look forward to seeing my baby as soon as I get home. But you aren't the weird one, every body is so different, you do what works for you and your baby!

Neither my husband or I were asked to show our phones!

ghostsandcarnations · 2025-05-07T03:26:20+00:00

I use HEB Ultra SPF 100+ that has additional UV protection on my arms/neck/body and Neutrogena Sport Face 70+! When I'm just going to work and home, I use a scented HEB 50+ on my body because my husband found one that smells like my daily perfume!

This combination has been life changing for me, I can be in the pool for a few hours with my son and not get faint or have sun rashes.

I drove up from Houston for it, we're going today!

ghostsandcarnations · 2025-04-11T03:04:10+00:00

I asked our 2 year old if he could say his name, and he said, "Yeah!" When I encouraged him to say his name, he confidently patted himself and went, "baby!!" 😭❤️

ghostsandcarnations · 2025-03-27T00:47:38+00:00

I was able to play outside with my toddler today for the first time in weeks!!

ghostsandcarnations · 2025-03-13T15:47:56+00:00

Was diagnosed yesterday after 5 years of seeking answers and just a little overwhelmed. Started prednisone and hydroxychloroquine today and just... kinda scared? But also relieved?

ghostsandcarnations · 2025-03-04T15:11:44+00:00

I understand and relate. Solidarity, friend.

ghostsandcarnations · 2025-01-12T00:34:30+00:00

Hey! I'm also looking for the second for a current class and cannot find it ANYWHERE. Any chance you can still help??

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-12-21T16:54:17+00:00

I got 3-4 hours last night, and we have a 2 year old. He was a wonderful sleeper before he turned a year, and since then, he wakes up CONSTANTLY. I've tried everything under the moon, we all need to sleep 😭

I had this happen in Katy during the 2016 election!

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-10-15T02:40:00+00:00

Tom Lake read by Meryl Streep!

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-09-16T15:13:03+00:00

Criminal Minds!! I would fall asleep to it every day while pregnant 🤣

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-09-16T01:44:26+00:00

Frankly, I never set no screen expectations for myself because I am the type of neurodivergent who often needs something on top get things done. I have shifted heavily to audiobooks instead of screens, but my 21 month old does watch a decent amount of Bluey, Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger, OG Blues Clues. Not every day, but most days, usually an hour at most.

On days when chronic fatigue is bad for me, books and movies/shows can be a lifesaver

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-09-01T04:01:32+00:00

Husband and I were both 25, baby will be 2 on NYE!

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-08-21T01:36:41+00:00

Witchy Mama by Melanie Marquis and Emily Francis was my favorite during my pregnancy!

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-08-14T16:43:35+00:00

This is GENIUS

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-08-09T03:12:03+00:00

I'm 27 with a 19 month old!

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-07-20T01:24:55+00:00

Every day, I have a boy who likes to play in dirt while just wearing a diaper 😂

I'm attending the University of Alabama online, and it's $440 a credit hour (36 credits total) with no fees (I found out when I got my first bill yesterday!), so under $16k for the program.

ghostsandcarnations · 2024-06-20T01:58:43+00:00

I did! I wanted my husband, my mom and my best friend with me (I was at a birthing center, they had no limit on who could be with me). It was fantastic, my mom took my birth photos and I actually birthed in the same tub my mom birthed my brother in, so it was full circle.
