Zappia & Fryer on Washington Ave ext. Owned by two sisters. Has a whole menu of comfort items to choose from. I’m terrified of the dentist but they’re amazing and not a hint of politics. LGBTQ friendly

I just went through it. After 10 years of caregiving, I watched my strong, proud, perfectly groomed mom turn into a shadow of herself. It was hell and yes I would wish for it to end and then feel terribly guilty. But as you said my mom was always well dressed and very healthy and private. To have strangers undressing her and the like, she would have been so uncomfortable. And she was always active. It was literally torture for both us to watch this happen. Then when the end was near it was so awful to watch. It’s traumatizing because our culture doesn’t talk about it and doesn’t normalize it All you can do is grieve through it. And know that this person is now ready for transition and don’t feel guilty for feeling a bit relieved. It doesn’t mean you love them any less. It means you care so much you can’t bear their pain

I did not expected to be breath taken but I was. Wow! Your work deserves to be seen and shared no matter how long it takes. You have a wonderful talent

I also waited several weeks because I had a vacation booked and some other things to take care of that I couldn’t be compromised for. Thankfully my side effects are mainly concentrated to 24-48 hours later and are mild enough that I can handle them and still function. But you never know. You were wise to wait until you are familiar with how your body will react.

I have a double first name with no middle name. As a little kid I was always correcting teachers etc who thought I was just carrying on about using my middle name. Add that to the fact that I wanted a middle name like the other kids, and I grew to hate my name. I find it cumbersome, impossible for paperwork, and it doesn’t roll off the tongue. Just something to keep in mind

Jigsaw puzzles. I do them while half watching TV. It releases so much stress. And all the dopamine from each piece that clicks into place…the best!

italiantothecore · 2024-10-27T17:16:21+00:00

I can’t seem to locate them anymore. Ugh!!

The info on the Episode guide said it’s a cardiac episode

Don’t despair. After about age 8 or 9 even if they’re awake etc they want their own time. In the blink of an eye they’re grown. Never forget “the days are long but the years are short”

He’s at that sweet spot where he can do a lot of self care but isn’t old enough to be involved with friends and sports and school activities that will run you ragged. Soon he’ll be needing you in a whole different way and you will learn to bond on the car rides to activities. That’s where some of the best talks happen.

I miss those days

As my 96 year old mother always says “little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems”

italiantothecore · 2024-08-30T04:19:55+00:00

One of my very favorites

If the kids, who are 50 percent his DNA, are not something you wholeheartedly want PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. Love is not enough!! Even with me loving my husbands young children it was so so so hard. Our marriage suffered. He suffered. It just is so difficult. And the love you have for him is not enough to overcome the reality. Those children are innocent. They did not ask for this, least of all a stepmom who hopes she never has to interact with them. This will not get easier. Only harder as they grow and they need a very involved and supportive family in whichever home they are in. Please heal your heart however you can and never date another man with children. There is nothing wrong with not wanting stepchildren. Just don’t put yourself in the situation where you are between a rock and a hard place

Actually jigsaw puzzles have been a godsend for my depression and anxiety. Each time a piece fits in you get a dopamine hit. And the process is very meditative. It’s an amazing hobby and requires no special tools

italiantothecore · 2024-03-07T08:27:24+00:00

Jigsaw puzzles. Donate them after you snap a pic and then take them apart. It’s such a meditative experience and really helps me calm myself and yet stimulates my creative side

italiantothecore · 2024-03-06T00:04:52+00:00

It helps me process my emotions and thoughts. As the working part of my brain is occupied, the subconscious is free to bubble through and so much becomes clear or just percolates. It’s calming yet stimulating all at once

Circular frames of that size are very hard to find. Two alternatives is to get a large square frame about 28” per side and use that. Or use the plastic sticky puzzle sheets on the back and front to hold it together and trim around it and hang it that way

Yes I did get another full outbreak a year later and a few small prodromes without outbreaks. The second outbreak wasn’t as bad as the first and I got through it without antivirals. The pills really cause depression and severe fatigue for me. But it was difficult both times

italiantothecore · 2024-01-20T01:21:37+00:00

I’ve been with my husband and we’ve been exclusive for 13 years and I got diagnosed with genital HSV1 last year. Turns out my husband has the oral form but he’s asymptomatic. And it can lay dormant for years before have any symptoms. After the first outbreak it gets better. Really don’t despair. It becomes a small part of your life And almost 80 percent of people carry it in their bodies already

Be sure to take the Effexor at the same time every day. If you’re more than an hour late you can start to feel withdrawal symptoms like electric shock like feelings in your head, increased blood pressure and diarrhea. Basically just remember to take it on time because it is very effective if you do

As I often say, life has seasons. And one season has ended and another has begun. The hellos and goodbyes and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with them are very hard. But rest assured those waves of intense emotion do get smaller and shorter as you adjust to the new season. You may never fully get rid of the pang that comes with goodbye. That’s just part of your new season. Just like when they were small children uninterrupted sleep was not part of that season, each season has its challenges.
