A work in progress…
Fade before a desperately needed cruise tomorrow. Cannot wait to see the MSC World America.

Still alive, just dealing with a lot of really bad health issues. Hugs and tugs warranted, pork favor.

Some days I don’t see it and some days - whoa what a difference two years makes.

Proof of “life”.

Fighting off the Sunday Scaries.

Lungs still suck but at least look cute, feel cute?

So…

The difference 3 days makes.

Please don’t equate my smize with health, though - chronic, horrible health conditions are very hard to come back from every episode. But, like Celie, I’m here…

This Hospital Day Spa does not have a wine bar.

Where do I file a complaint? And no, Julia, cranberry juice for dinner is not the same as rosé. Sheesh.

Getting rushed to the ER from work and being on BiPAP was NOT on my Bingo Card today.

I was admitted almost immediately but there are no beds so I’m admitted - in the ER. So there is no rest to be had (it’s 1:42am and I’ve been admitted here for 13 hours…fun fun fun).

I’m being forced to go do a social.

A social.

Like people.

Choices were made.

I’m in my ginger-blondes have more fun era. 💅🏽

Of all the things to suck at, I have to suck at breathing.

Wheeeee. Up since 3am due to Prednisone. All of the funs.

You’re gorgeous…

Another train selfie?

Groundbreaking.

Sun’s out, guns out?

(We’re gonna use the term “guns” loosely for my twigs, mkay?)

Yeah, sometimes he cute…

Body dysmorphia is knowing you've gone from 360-160-ish lbs, but still completely scared to share any selfies of shirtless or (ahem) goals met for fear of embarrassment even though you have nothing to be embarrassed of.

Okay I may have technically been a bear once upon a time, but it’s a state of mind, non?

Um, horrible seats to see Mama Rose Montego...

Whoa, I've posted some B&As to keep myself on task, but this one got me in the feels.
July 23, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Lungs aren’t working, but my barber told me I’d be carded after cutting my hair so I’ll take the W…

I may have gone full on Disnerd at Disneyland. Ooops?
June 26, 2025 at 5:14 PM
I've decided I'm lookin' cute AF and that's that.

Won't delete later.
