Yeah I freaking suck and need to be locked up until winters over. Sour mood, tired, emotional and angry. Its just a great all around feeling! School needs to be done and I need a redo of this last three months, because I know I could do better. I hate my freakin body

Karla, just imagine what you've done this semester! Another surgery, the IC diagnosis, all of that. PLUS school. Oh, and plus being a mother of 3 beautiful kids, which is enough. You're an amazing woman, and getting through this semester is enough to feel proud of.

I figured out what has been causing those horrible allergic reactions lately. My husband bought these Air Wick air fresheners last week and plugged them in all over the house. What's frustrating is that he KNOWS I'm sensitive to this crap but maybe his man-brain forgot?
Anyways, I figured it out when I came home a couple days ago and instantly broke out as soon as I sat by one. I unplugged all of them, threw them in a zip loc bag, aired out the house, took a shower, and now I'm completely fine.

Who knew you could have such a severe reaction to a stupid air freshener. I still can't get over how sensitive my body is to crap!

New detergent? Comfy study clothes? Perfume? Air freshener? HAHA Karen, always right. ALWAYS. I shall never doubt you.

I like bergamot oil for a natural air freshener, and it's also a natural antidepressant!

And of course, I'm always right.

I ran through those questions too but I didn't know that he had bought those damn things because they were all plugged in behind furniture so I never saw them. It wasn't until I walked by a chair and saw it at the corner of my eye and I was like, "WHAT THE f**k IS THIS!??!??!"
LOL!

But yeah Karen, you are ALWAYS right! LOL I have learned that the hard way.

OMG, guys!!! This is really not a big deal, but I think I'm breaking some kind of world record for longest time ever spent sitting on a god damn toilet! It's painfully amusing. I mean that both literally and figuratively...? As I'm sure you know, Percocet like many other painkillers makes you constipated. And I'm not allowed to help things along because I can't strain since there was endo on my bowel and Kate said you can actually perforate your bowel if you aren't careful. This was excruciatingly painful earlier in the week immediately following my procedure, but now it's not so painful as it is ANNOYING! My GOD! I have been sitting here for an hour and a half and NOTHING has budged.. I just want to go to bed!!! lol.. Waaaah

haha. Alriiiiight now that I've left you with that lovely image I'm going to go back to perusing the internet looking for funny memes.. you're welcome...

AWW you poor thing! It helps if you prop your feet up on something, like put a box under your feet so that your knees are brought closer to your chest. Takes a lot of the strain off. Try that and see if it helps.
And when in doubt, suppositories are my best friend. Are you able to use those?

Then they will tell you what to take to "move things along".

Not being able to have a bowel movement is the most frustrating thing. Sometimes I feel like I spend hours on the toilet praying for one. haha.

I don't want to seem like all bah humbug or ruin the holiday spirit. I'm just having a really difficult day. I woke up this morning soaking wet from sweat again and started feeling super shaky. My muscles have been so sore lately and I went to get a massage. Well the massage made me feel worse and now I am in a bunch of pain. All my pelvic muscles hurt, my hips and around my knee's.

I came home and burst into tears because I feel like I'm losing everything because of endo and this stupid EBV. I feel so hopeless. I called my Mom and she is usually very supportive. Her response this afternoon was there's always something wrong with me and if it's not me it's my cat that's having problems. Really not helpful. I feel like I can't even confide in people anymore. I'm really sorry to be like this. I just needed somewhere I could vent.
