Good Things Friday (226) and Link Love

June 23, 2023

1. I was in (self inflicted) PAIN on Saturday from a long day. We’d taken the kids to a family friendly event early, and ended up staying until the end because Smol Acrobat napped hard part way through. My feet were screaming, my leg muscles were on the verge of giving up. I popped a handful of OTC pain meds, hydrated as much as I could and passed out by 9 pm. The thing I didn’t do, which I used to do every single flare-up, was torment myself over the choice to have fun. I’d usually notice the pain and start mentally punishing myself for being weak, for making a stupid decision, for making the mistake of leaving the house.

2. Humoring Smol Acrobat by letting them take a spin around Target will net me a $5 gift card. We spotted this sign for $15 back if you spend $50 on Pampers, and I came home to look it up. I found the rebate site and it’s good for PG products in two forms: $5 back when you spend $20 and $15 back when you spend $50. Good for purchases between April 2, 2023 through June 30, 2023 so check your receipts!

It’ll take 6-8 weeks to get the prepaid $5 Visa. I also learned that I don’t want the Target brand 3 ring binders for my projects so that was helpful too!

Helping folks:
Can we help this good boy?


Just a little link love

The end of this tweet thread is a solid summary of how I feel about my broken body and who I am inside it
So please believe, with everything I am: I miss a lot of things I used to be able to do. I don't miss who I used to be. And I don't miss who I might have continued to become if I were healthy. Nothing is all bad in life. Including illness. Including med ed. It's all grey.
