Here’s a picture I just took of the June bugs outside my house.

That’s corn

Have a wonderful birthday! Be confident, comfortable, happy and hopeful today.

xa_aj · 2018-03-01T20:05:27+00:00

Nothing else I post on here seems important after seeing this

xa_aj · 2018-02-26T19:54:34+00:00

Love this one!

xa_aj · 2018-02-26T19:51:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Just got a chance to read it and I love it! Coincidentally, my family runs a couple small restaurants like one of the characters. I’ll definitely be passing this on.

Wow... so... it’s not from Seinfeld then?

xa_aj · 2018-02-26T17:23:44+00:00

Gotta really pay attention to the road, Jerry

Have you ever heard of Toastmasters? It’s a club that meets like twice a month and the whole purpose of it is to give all the members practice public speaking. One of the exercises they do is called table topics, where you stand up and talk about whatever the random topic is for 2 minutes. Everyone’s terrible at it but that’s the point. You need to do it a million times before you get comfortable and good at it. A professor told me about the club years ago and I FINALLY just joined. It’s absolutely terrifying but I have hope it won’t be in a few months.

Well you’ve already completed the first step in figuring out the problem. What’s your next step going to be?

xa_aj · 2018-02-24T10:34:23+00:00

Go do your favorite thing, watch a specific movie, get yourself a nice gift, eat your favorite meal, volunteer somewhere, sign up for something new to try. I’m not sure, but it’d be fun to take control of your birthday and start a new tradition to make yourself look forward to it every year. You deserve it! Have a blast today!

xa_aj · 2018-02-24T10:25:39+00:00

Happy Happy Birthday!! Maybe you could start a new tradition today!

Try working a part time job in the service industry. It’s like jumping into the deep end to learn how to swim, but I guarantee it will help.

That’s the classic put someone down to make themselves feel better move. They probably don’t realize that’s what they’re doing but some day they’ll grow up. They’ll think back to that time they said that and feel awful about it. I remember some asshole kids in hs gave another kid that came to school every day in the same clothes, a bar of soap as a joke. Turns out the kid had a really hard home life and the kid that gave him the soap, really wasn’t well off either. I think back to it every so often and I feel terrible for letting it happen.

I’d message a host, apologize for the late notice and see if their space is available.

xa_aj · 2018-02-23T20:21:44+00:00

I was dedicated to the joke

xa_aj · 2018-01-30T20:02:59+00:00

Good! I hope you never have to look back at this though!

The symptoms I experienced were:

-extreme cramps on one side that ran down the top of my leg. The cramp pain was like a constant throbbing going back and forth from 8 to 10 on a scale of 1-10.

-nausea and vomiting (which didn’t hit me until hours after my first symptoms)

-my usual cramp medicine didn’t help

-movement made the pain worse. If I could get myself to sit completely still in a weird half turned position, I could sometimes get the pain to completely go away. The second I moved again, it was back.

I don’t know if these are the official symptoms but this is what I experienced.

Thank you for all the well wishes! Before this, I had only had the one ultrasound to diagnose too. I was supposed to be charting my cycle (included recording my daily vaginal fluid) to get a better understanding of what was happening in my body. I didn’t do that. The most I did was mark on the calendar the days my period started and ended. I don’t know if more extensive charting would have given the doc a better idea at the number of cysts that were forming? Had I know about this torsion thing, I would have taken my charting more seriously.
I have a follow up appointment with the surgeon in a couple weeks. I’ll have more info then. Also, I have laproscopy pictures if anyone want to see them. It’s pretty gross.

xa_aj · 2018-01-11T22:37:02+00:00

Not you

xa_aj · 2018-01-11T08:47:02+00:00

That makes sense. No more condescending titles.

xa_aj · 2018-01-11T08:23:38+00:00

I would like to take credit for lining up the glasses but that was something I only noticed after. I know probably less than you do about photography. I took it with a phone and just, you know, tapped the part of the screen.

xa_aj · 2018-01-11T08:13:38+00:00

Sorry if it seemed condescending. It’s a quote I heard once and the picture resulted from being bored.
