I woke up today feeling overwhelmed...

I woke up today feeling overwhelmed and stayed in bed FAR too late.  I had errands to run and a doctor's appointment today and just wasn't feeling any of it.  It's kind of my own fault because all I want to do is work on my database right now and it's hard to get up the motivation to do anything else.  But this post isn't about that.

Once I was finally up I told Shaun how I was feeling and he drove me around to do my errands (which was a big help).  By the time I got that stuff checked off of my to-do list I was feeling a good bit better.  Shaun also offered to drive me to my doctor's appointment and I took him up on that, as well.  It's amazing how gestures of support like that can change my day.  I'm always so grateful for him.

During my doctor appointment, though, was when my day absolutely went from "This is ok." to "Holy shit, I'm happy and excited!"  I was due for a coochie-probing and while that is usually not very fun today it was AWESOME.

For one:  I have a new doctor and he's a little bit goofy - which I LOVE.  He always jokes around with me and has a good sense of humor.  So does the nurse who's usually with him.  So I felt comfortable enough today to ask him to take a picture of my cervix.  Y'all, he did it!  I have a picture of my cervix and now I've seen it.  That made my WHOLE day!  Or should I say my HOLE day?  😂😂😂

He asked if I had kids and I told him I birthed a son almost 22 years ago.  He asked me if it was via c-section and I said no.  He showed me on my photo that my cervix looked like it had never given birth which is pretty neat.  I told him I was young and probably bounced back but he said they don't usually do that.  He also said that my vaginal tissue was beautiful, pink, and healthy.  So I ain't gonna lie - I honestly just fucking loved that.  My downstairs business is in good shape!

I know this post is gonna weird some of y'all out and I'm sorry about it, but I've been having the goods examined for more than half of my life now and several doctors have seen a part of me that I haven't and I just didn't think that was fair.  I like to see things and know things about my body.  Hell, if I could have surgeries while awake and watching I probably would.  I'm pretty sure that my curiosity knows no bounds and I am NOT sorry about that.

Anyway, I came out of the appointment almost skipping.  Shaun was waiting for me in the car and he could tell the minute I came out of there how excited I was.  I've been happy-dancing for the last few hours.  I saw my cervix, y'all!  😁😁😁

This is not a flattering photo of me...

This is not a flattering photo of me and it was taken in the dark so the quality is bad, but I don't care. Adrian has decided that she's my snuggle buddy and it's too sweet. For the last few weeks this is how I fall asleep at night.

While it's precious as fuck there are some drawbacks. Either she's the juiciest wuss I've ever met or her lack of teeth contribute to this, but when she bathes before falling asleep she showers me in her spit. 😂😂😂 I keep tissue nearby and it's not a big deal, but it WAS quite a surprise the first time it happened.

Also last night she apparently woke up and decided that my cheek was dirty because I awoke in the night to PAIN. She licked my cheek RAW and was still going when I woke up to stop her. Hopefully that doesn't become a habit. My skin gives me enough trouble as it is. Either way, though, I'm enjoying the love. She's a sweetheart. ❤️

This is his favorite seat.

This is his favorite seat. He gets to keep an eye on things through the window while being COMFY. You can't convince me that he's not rotten. 😂

Boyfriend took good care of me today.

Boyfriend took good care of me today. He was my little spoon for most of the day as I laid around with my groggy headache trying to recover.

At some point Cubba got on the couch and was my big spoon. I think everyone could tell I wasn't feeling well. I love these sweet kids. ❤️


I needed to do some things today, but I had nightmares and woke up around 7 with a migraine brewing.

I needed to do some things today, but I had nightmares and woke up around 7 with a migraine brewing. Took my meds and slept for most of the day. Now I'm just sitting here feeling foggy and groggy with a dull headache. How stupid.
