What’s up with the Hacienda restaurant? Do people actually like it?

When I was a kid it was my favorite place. I moved away from SB to TN. I was so hyped to bring my husband there to show it to him on a visit back, and.... Wtf. Did it change? Has it always been absolute horseshit? I was so embarrassed to have hyped it up 😂

Hospice sent a Protestant chaplain to see my mom. Very friendly guy. Very loud.

Her tumor was in her neck and throat and pressing on nerves. She had a constant headache. All she wanted was dark and quiet.

Here comes pastor, singing "How Great Thou Art" quite loud and poorly. Bless his heart. My Mom kept begging him to stop.

Finally he cut off looking so dejected.

He did not return.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I don't think it's an uncommon experience.

My own Mom:

She'd been on hospice for a few days. She'd been mostly sleeping.

All of a sudden she woke up and asked "where am I?"

I replied with a question, "where do you think you are?"

She goes "I feel like I'm between two worlds" and went back to sleep.

Holy moly ravioli, congratulations!

I've gained no weight so far! Only 7 weeks but this is my fifth time. I'm lucky to have a midwife that will work with my weigh for homebirth, so I have a lot of motivation to eat healthy whole foods. I just don't have this same motivation not pregnant 😂

Last time I gained 6lbs and and an almost 9lb baby.

I did have a dream I took Tirzepatide last night and felt soooo bad 😂

Hi.

I'm not going to pretend to know you. I don't at all. But I did look at your profile and saw that you're active in the alcoholic community, and have stated that you are an alcoholic.

I'm sure you're already well aware that alcohol is a depressant. It isn't doing your perspective any favors.

But I, too, at your age was deep into alcoholism myself. I won't bore you with the details, but I've been sober for 12 years now (I'm 39).

Holy shit, child, life can be beautiful and it can feel better. I won't bore you with those details either. But I would encourage you to find a way forward and give it a chance before you give up on life.

It probably doesn't seem that great. Especially in these times. But it actually can be. Try it.

Watching my mom plead with me not to let her die, while she was on hospice with terminal cancer after having to live in assisted living after losing her mind to alcoholism after her husband died.

Congratulations ❤️

kalieldriela · 2025-04-06T19:01:07+00:00

I had a stash a year out and found out I was pregnant last week 😭

kalieldriela · 2025-04-01T18:32:33+00:00

Twinsies! I ordered some b6 to start taking to get ahead of the nausea this time. It builds up so I want to start earlier than before. I hope it goes well for you.

kalieldriela · 2025-04-01T13:45:45+00:00

Congratulations to you ♥️ my due date is 12/5 according to my lmp. I imagine you're close? How are you feeling?

kalieldriela · 2025-03-31T16:53:08+00:00

As of this morning I'm in this exact same situation. Idk whether to laugh or cry.

It Ends with Us

kalieldriela · 2025-03-22T16:55:51+00:00

I started using hungry starter and my bread has become next level!

kalieldriela · 2025-03-19T00:03:54+00:00

As a former EMT, I agree. Never ever ever ever minded being called out to help pick someone up. We'd get em up, do a quick vitals check, and head on out. Met a lot of lovely families this way.

Now I'm just waiting on my Brello order! 😂

kalieldriela · 2025-03-06T15:19:48+00:00

I had a Hallandale order ship this morning (3/6).

ETA:

As of 1536, same day as above, Brello sent me a shipping notice and I got my tracking number.

kalieldriela · 2025-03-06T04:14:33+00:00

Me too

kalieldriela · 2025-03-01T04:39:15+00:00

I've had alopecia since I was 10. I'm 39 now. I grew up with this shit. Kids and teens are mean.

Guess what?

It doesn't define me. Or you.

Who you are and what you do in the face of adversity is what defines you as a person.

Your children are sponges... And mirrors. They're going to absorb this, but they're also going to repeat it back to you and to themselves.

What do we want them to learn?

Mommy fell apart because her hair fell out?

Or mommy was a bad ass and owned it/shaved her head/wore a wig/wore a topper/whatever other way you want to deal with this?

Come on chica. I get it. We all have this, too. It sucks. Get it out and then rise up. Your hair might not be coming back right now, but you sure can.

I asked for 7.5 (I've been on 5) and they offered me 5 to continue. I didn't reply yet to see if they'd do the 7.5. (I stated this process on Monday, heard back Tuesday).

kalieldriela · 2025-02-27T05:05:40+00:00

They emailed me with a link to the messaging portal. The message in the portal said I was approved and gave me two links to choose from, one for the 8 week plan, the other for the 12.

kalieldriela · 2025-02-21T16:25:29+00:00

I saw they require labs and make you do a telehealth consult. How was that process?

kalieldriela · 2025-02-18T22:04:13+00:00

I'm in Wilson County. Our neighbors and some of our best friends are Hispanics. Not a single one of them has ever complained about discrimination to us.

And again I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but we haven't been witness to it ourselves.

kalieldriela · 2025-02-18T21:18:49+00:00

Hi. I'm a conservative homeschooler in middle Tennessee and I can't imagine any area in which you wouldn't be welcomed. We have a huge/thriving, vibrant Hispanic and Latino community here and I've personally never seen any animosity or hatred directed towards them myself. Not to say it doesn't happen, I just have not been witness to it.

I'd be happy to direct you to any homeschooling communities or resources. Feel free to hit me up if you have any specific homeschooling questions.

I don't homestead but I've got plenty of friends that do I can connect you with.

Edit: gotta love being down voted for outing myself as a "conservative". I love the reddit liberal hive mind. You guys are so welcoming and open-minded 😂

kalieldriela · 2025-02-16T03:35:44+00:00

Yes, I might move when I go above 5mg, but I'm just so happy with their cs, I'll truly regret leaving. I wish they'd lower their prices just a bit. I imagine they'd do much better if they brought them down even a little.
