I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

both of them are me

if you have heat triggered migraines as we head into summer -- i know they're expensive, but the cooling vests made for folks with MS are amazing. my neurologist recommended them, so i shopped around and budgeted for the summer heat and got this one. really liking it so far! it's not the best "fashion," but can go largely unnoticed in public. at worst, it looks like i have bad taste which is, like, whatever. and once you have the vest, you can get cheaper ice packs that fit in the vest's "pockets" from other places; the ones they sell are very expensive. i suppose a crafty person or someone who knows a crafty person could make their own, but it was beyond my skill and time.

i DO believe that a good writer can make mischaracterization work. oh there's a character who doesn't normally cry? figure it out!! disect the character. make the situation cryable for them. make that character cry ugly tears even if it goes against their very nature. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!!

ohhhh shit. target is recalling their up & up baby wipes (fragrance free & fresh cucumber scented) because they're contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli, multiple people are reporting discoloration & infections. i just got a call about it cuz i had purchased those but i've already gone through them 😅 so no refund for me. but im fine. if you have these they're saying you need to immediately stop using them and bring them back to target for a full refund. this bacteria can cause life threatening infections in children/infants and people with compromises immune systems (ESPECIALLY cystic fibrosis!!) and i know lots of other chronically ill people follow me!!!!

If you use baby wipes go check them NOW. A lot of Burkholderia bugs are antibiotic resistant so infections can be really difficult to treat.

often i am scared for no reason or several reasons
