Day 2 of my #8daysofgreat is all about these wacky fluffernutters. No matter how rough my day is or how awful I feel they're always there to help me #buildaladder with snuggles and purrs, reminding me not to let my tea get cold or to stop scratching under their chin. #Clea has been my stalwart friend and companion for all of my adult life (almost 20 years) thru broken hearts, across the country, thru numerous jobs, apartments, boyfriends and the loss of her sister #Roxy. #Mochi and #Ollie are newer additions to our family, joining us almost 2 years ago and adding new life, snuggles, and hijinks to our home. I'm so grateful for my sweet #snugglebuddies. They're truly awesome. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2TCQQOp464/?igshid=1ft3qau3v6164

Today, this is my #buildaladder face. Nope, not my actual face since that one is riddled by pain (and I'm not that hairy) I had a botched blood draw at the Dr's office yesterday which was hands down the most painful experience I think I've EVER had - seriously, I've been thrown from a horse multiple times, been hit by a car, stabbed by a sword, cut with barbed wire, sliced a fingertip of with a mandolin TWICE, along with various other accidents - and that blood draw hurt more than all of them. I have a hard, swollen bump just under the right elbow crook, which is causing shooting pains down that arm & tingling in my right hand AND an already pretty dark bruise in my left elbow crook along with additional red bruising from the bandage they used and shooting pains, tingling, and inflammation in my left hand. This is triggering the arthritis in that wrist too, so dull achey pains underlie the shooty ones. For all you #spoonies out there, my experience is a great reminder to be a vigilant in your self-advocacy. We already have enough problems to deal with on a daily basis, so it's totally fine to tell the lab techs that you need someone experienced. You are NOT the best person for an untried medical student to learn how to draw blood on (oh! If I had only realized sooner!) and if you think the head tech is taking too long trying to find the vein in what you already told them was your bad arm since the n00b jacked your good one, IT'S OK to tell them to STOP. Which is great advice, if you remember to take it 😜 But today, it just hurts. Thankfully, my bosses suggested that I work from home so I'm not on display while suffering and I can move more at my own pace. And this means that #Mochi can keep an eye on me and play #nannycat, keeping me warm, loved, and sharing all her #healingvibes and #purrs. But for now, have #lazypants, have #snugglebuddies and am letting my body do its #healing at its own pace. #psoriaticarthritissucks #PsAflare #PsA #botchedblooddraw #itsoktosayno #nonewbs #badpainday https://www.instagram.com/p/By8ea_vlW7L/?igshid=kb22xxvr01nl

Just can't get over #seattle's #snowmageddon! I can't recall being in continuous snowfall like this that lasted more than a couple days. This is day 4 and, if you believe the forecast, is supposed to be raining right now 😏.

#SnowedIn Day 3: using my time this morning to #buildaladder. Mostly by getting properly hydrated and starting my stretches again. Bouncing back after an injury is HARD, especially when you have an #autoimmune disorder that loves to attack your joints and ball you up but a body that desperately wants to move. It's a sucky Catch-22. So, I'm back to the basics starting today. Classical Stretch by Miranda Esmond-White, water every hour, #snugglebuddies on standby, and back to the diet (no more cheats 😑). The good news is that I was just at that point where I felt like I was functioning at 85% which was just a huge improvement over where I was before. It's good, because I know that my plan works and that I can get back there. Still sucks that I got knocked down (literally & figuratively) but I know that point and the path there. So even though it hurts and I can't get out the way I want to, I GOT THIS. ❤️ #psoriaticarthritissucks #psa #spoonieproblems #essentrics #classicalstretch #hypermobilityissues #mynormalisnotyournormal (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtwACc1lVXK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t72zfiune7ly

This makes me so ridiculously happy! 😍 We didn't really get to experience snow storms growing up in TX so it's a delight any time it snows here in #seattle. . #snowyseattle #snowpocalypse #snowday #nevertooold (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtozlKEFZ9C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16v1twibs174x

I've probably already reblogged this, but you can never have enough visits from the Jeff Goldblum of Happiness

Someone I’ve known for 20+ years just posted this on my Facebook wall and I’ve never felt more seen in my entire life.

Random glitch playing #AssassinsCreedOdyssey. Apparently, the bear's bumhole is its own face?! 🤪😳 . Terrifying thing to discover when traveling down hill 😆 #ubisoft #ps4 #bearshenanigans https://www.instagram.com/p/BtfPc8Tl03g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1as6soj6ddf49
