Two Months to Go!

 Exactly two months from today my daughter turns 18. Here’s a picture I took of her on this day in 2008 when it was only two months till she turned 1.  I used to love putting her in those tie dye rompers. 

Thank you for all of the support regarding that god awful therapist. I remember there used to be this subreddit called r/roastme, where people would give their personal situations and/or post pictures of themselves and ask to be roasted. By that, they meant they wanted people to basically verbally abuse and insult them. That’s actually what seeing this therapist felt like. She claimed to be mad that I pointed out the lack of bio markers for psychological conditions, but she also didn’t like that I regret college and that I am married to an older man who was my boss. 

It’s proving harder than it was 20 years ago to change my last name. I’ve encountered two entities that were like “nope can’t help you”. But all I had to do in the end was wait a few hours, call back and get someone else, and get the name change done successfully. 

My health insurance premium is going up by $100 a month, and my car insurance premium is going down by $90 a month. 

I also saw a gastroenterologist, but more on that later. It’s a really long story. I didn’t just go see him for a colonoscopy consult. I was told in 2022 that I have a slight condition, but more on that later. In past blog posts, I’ve said that I lost no more than 25 pounds since January of 2024. Well I weighed myself the morning of my first appointment with him, and I was another 7 pounds down. So now I can safely say I’ve lost at least 30. Next blog post will be all about this. Sometimes I don’t want to talk about the thing I was diagnosed with in 2022, because I don’t want to hear horror stories from people who had a friend who knew a person who’s spouse’s sister’s son had it or whatever. Stay tuned.
