Quote from honeybee1990 on August 12, 2020, 4:40 amHi everyone. I am really tired today. My ankles feel heavy and tight. I looked at them this morning while brushing my teeth and they looked puffy. I work as a baker so I am on my feet from six in the morning until two. Yesterday I dropped my grandkids at soccer practice and then stood in line at Kmart for forty minutes. It was hot outside. I tried soaking them in warm water with epsom salts last night but it did not help much. The socks leave marks on my skin. I bought some compression sleeves at Walgreens for twenty dollars but they make me sweaty. Is this just part of getting older or should I call my doctor? I have an appointment next month but I am worried. Does anyone else deal with this swelling?

Quote from siltpromise on August 31, 2020, 9:24 pmi just switched to a basic pharmacy brand cleanser and one moisturizer. I swear, spend the rest of my budget on sunscreen. honestly my skin looks better when i stop overthinking it. the fancy serums were just making me break out from all the actives. keep it simple till it clears up. less is literally more. nobody needs eleven steps.

Quote from Gentle1969 on December 31, 2020, 11:44 amhonestly i stopped asking him to help. i just do what needs doing while he hangs out. if he complains about the mess i tell him to fix it himself or shut up. at this point his energy is not worth the fight. i save my mental peace for myself and my kids. let him live in the chaos he ignores. peace is more important than being right.

Quote from dawncloud on April 24, 2021, 1:36 pmlol yeah my man is the same. he gets hard like five seconds after we start making out its honestly kinda funny. i just laugh and tell him to chill but also its kinda cute that hes into me that much. we just roll with it and get on with it. no big deal really, just how his body works. sometimes i tease him about being so quick to react but nah its all good.

Quote from Glowpass on June 18, 2021, 12:12 pmSame thing happens here. We just gave her a specific corner with a small table and told her that’s the only spot. She put up a little shrine and now it’s her sacred space. I actually don’t mind it that much as long as the incense smell doesn’t drift into the kitchen while I’m cooking dinner. Just set boundaries early.

After work I cook for everyone because mom always says food is love. Now I sit on couch staring at phone. If I don’t sleep 8 hours my face gets pale and I snap at husband. Just rest already.
