Infertility is such shit. “Oh but think of how much extra money you have and the things you can do!” Bitch, I didn’t get a fucking choice in this. I didn’t get to make that choice. It got handed to me against my will.

My closest childhood friends are currently pregnant and I just want to scream. The only thing I ever wanted and knew I wanted for my future was to be a mom and I never will. I get to be happy for everyone else while I slowly die inside.
Going to the vet with a pet and coming home without one twice in one summer is a cruel twist of life I didn't see coming.
My father in law died yesterday. 8 years ago he was calling me a gold digger and today I'm crying at the world losing his light. The husband said "I don't want to go to sleep because that means today happened and it's real" and he's not wrong.
How are you going to be so stressed you need to go to the emergency vet and still be in everybody else's business???
The first page of my scrapbook is done. Knowing that I'll always have something to remember his giant paws helps.
From your very first day alive to your last, I'm glad I got to figure out life with you Otto. You could be spiteful as hell when you wanted to be, your belly fur was like touching the softest cloud and your giant paws were surprisingly light when standing on my organs. Love you Ottobot.
I am an ugly crier, and honestly, putting down your pet who was by your side from the day he was born after being fucked over by family allows for hearing damage levels of crying.
Merch is now available. 🤣
My hometown is having bananagate and a man had to make a public apology to the 711 employees. I think they're related. I have yet to find the original post. 🤣
I'm about to fight door dash. We're not on the platform yet. We don't want to be on the platform yet. Paying 35% of our sales on top of the fees they charge customers isnt something weve had a chance to number crunch yet. We've told them this, multiple times. They keep calling! 😡
After two months of work, this past Saturday I got to see the whole look come together. Dress, apron, hat, sweater, and collar were all made by me! I also crocheted all the cream trim on the dress and hat, and crocheted the brown trim on the apron. #egl #sewing #knitting #crochet
I fully made my return to work decision I this morning based on if I could detangle my hair this morning. It took 30 minutes of agressively brushing it. I cut about eight inches off tonight to get it to my normal longer length.
The husband has spent 21 hours in the hospital so far. Fuck covid. Fuck conservatives spreading this shit. I'm the immunocompromised one with asthma and I'm relatively ok. He's the healthy one and the one who usually holds shit together.
The husband got admitted to the hospital with covid. I'm sick at home but not nearly as bad as he is. For five years we dodged this shit. Five fucking years of having to be cautious because I have other health conditions. He's healthy and shouldn't be the one in there. 😭😭
In highschool a kid did the Nazi salute and was bullied mercilessly for it. He came back and insulted a pregnant woman five years ago, people remembered the salute and bullied him again. Those same people are excusing Elon for it now. Interesting.
I'm not sad anymore. I'm mad.
We fought a whole ass war against the Nazis and so many "Americans" are praising the least American thing possible.
And I can't say what I want because I live in a conservative area and own a business. Fuck this shit.
In case the TikTok ban goes through, does anyone know if there are any other apps like lemon 8 and xiaohongshu? I just really enjoy that style of social media. 😭 #tiktokban #littleredbook
Bonus picture of the troubleshooting. It kept flipping off my head at first.
Update on big project. The bodice is done (?? I feel like it needs something), the hat is done after some troubleshooting, sweater is #knit and collar is #crocheted. Still need to #sew the skirt and waistband to the bodice and add more trim.
How many of you heard about a Tesla exploding yesterday and figured it was just a Tesla being a Tesla?
I'm sewing a dress, knitting a sweater, crocheting a lace collar and lace trim, making a hat, and needle felting little chocolates. The dress, sweater and fabric for the hat all still need to be done and I have 16 days.
Y'all ever jump into a project and not think about the time, energy and monetary investment? It's fine, I'm fine, just throwing every fiber and fabric related skill I have (and ones I don't) into this project. #knitting #sewing #hatmaking #crochet #needlefelting
I read 53 books and have a few I've been bouncing between. Money is tight but I'm hopeful that the financial bleeding has slowed now that money is coming in. I knit a whole sweater and many pairs of socks! I hit a roadblock with health and weight loss and that's rough, but my brain is better. ❤️
2024 has been an interesting year. The only vacation I took was to Kansas City to celebrate my mom getting an award from her full time job. The chocolate shop has been consistent enough that I am bringing in a full time, US minimum wage income every week. We've had three, online orders.
We hit that glorious double mark and damn does it feel good. ♥️
White freshly knit sweater laying on a cluttered desk.
I #knit my first sweater this week. Now to weave in ends and block...or I could just start another.
I've finally gotten a sweater sleeve done inba way that makes me happy! Now onto sleeve two.
Dear nose and face. Candles are not evil. They smell pretty. That is all. There is truly no reason for you to still be this congested because I was by unlit candles for a few hours.
