Can today be done? My today was awful. I'd sincerely appreciate a mulligan. I burned the roof of my mouth and got a quarter size blister. My tooth is super wiggly and hurts so much. And while eating a few popcorn chicken nuggies, I got too excited and accidentally bit my hand. I'm quite talented at hurting myself. Pauley Holm is just enjoying watching her airplane friends online so she didn't notice. I kinda want to lick her face.
I'm craving pop. I really enjoy the pineapple flavor faygo. It's really yummy to mix pineapple faygo with raspberry or lime sherbet. When I was younger, my family made punch with ginger ale and strawberry sherbet for family parties. I decided to try making different flavors and combos.
UPS just came. I was like yeah I'm not expecting anything and then they rang my door. It was the big jar of CBD gummies that I ordered last week and forgot about. It's a 6k jar so it's pretty big. I ate one cuz I was coughing kinda hard and it made my migraine come back. But my back and hips still feel great. They haven't hurt since Friday morning. I'm a very happy functional puppy.
Suddenly my tummy hurts kinda bad. I think I ate too many pieces of chicken.
My mom is angry at me for not knowing what I want for my birthday. I told her I'd like a gift card for Instacart or Thrive market. I plan to make a very special dinner for Yule for me and Pauley. I'm gonna make filet mignon and lobster. She's never had lobster. It's my favorite seafood. So I want to introduce her to my favorite yummy treatos.
My tooth really hurts. 2 years ago I was headed to my girlfriend's house and eating some caramel puff corn and it broke my back left molar. Then 3 months later another chunk broke off. Then 5 months after that another chunk broke off. So I've got one fourth of a tooth and now it's wiggly and really hurts.
I've had the hiccups quite a lot today.
I got a chance to finally see the quality of my haircut and it's... not good. The front is maybe 4 different lengths. I asked for a 0 on the sides and back but she didn't do it. The front half of the top of my head, the hair is awful and a trillion lengths. I'm gonna see if my neighbor can fix it. I'm not happy.
It's been a weird couple days. I wish we had a kitty.
My heart hurts. I feel kinda sad. I wanted to celebrate my birthday.

My tummy hurts so much. I know I'm gonna get sick. It's been gradually getting worse. I hate my body. I wish my doctor could figure out what is going on.
I did, however, make some coffee. I can't remember what flavor. But I mixed it with some hazelnut IQ Joe and cashew creamer and 4 squirts of sucralose cuz I made about 45oz. It's quite yummy but I still don't know what flavor the coffee is.
My head is pounding. I need to wake up Pauley for some eletriptan and 2 gummies. But I really don't want to. I don't want to move. I'm so tired.

Our topic for this week's self-care challenge is self-advocacy.

When talking about advocacy, we're referring to the skills and understanding to know one's needs and openly and effectively communicate those needs to others, whether that be for ourselves or on behalf of those around us.

How do you feel about self-advocacy? Do you find it easier to advocate for yourself or for others?

Stronger by Melanie R.

I’m about to get back up stronger-
Stronger than ever!
I’m about to get back up stronger-
Stronger than ever!

Got knocked down.
The wind taken from me.
From all the trials….The suffering.

I’m about to get back up stronger.
Even in dark places-
when I’m feeling overwhelmed.

Seven times I fell down-
and got back up again!!

(listen my enemies)

I’m about to get back up stronger-
Stronger than ever.

(Don’t gloat,)
I will get back up stronger
Even as I sit in darkness, the Lord be my shining light.
Stronger….Oh believe!

(Believe it and receive!)

Stronger in the Lord!

Even in dark places,
when I’m feeling all alone.
The Lord will not forsake me,
He is right here by my side!

The God of second chances-
Give me strength;
Be my guide.

2 Timothy 2:1
You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 24:16
For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again…

Micah 7:8
Do not gloat over me, my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.

Out of everyone we spend time with in our lives, we spend the most with ourselves. And how we speak, treat, and interact with our own minds and hearts influences our self-perception (and usually our self-esteem, too).

This also means we have the ability to change how we feel about ourselves at any given time. Whether it’s your negative self-talk or your lack of confidence at work, what’s a perspective you have about yourself that you want to improve?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks wants to grow in the perspective that she is deserving of love, friendship, and companionship from others just for being herself.
