Rosie purposely looking away from my camera, the stinker!!

Her hair is so fluffy from the humidity. She is considered a toy dog but our neighbors dog-and Rosie's boyfriend is a big great dane.
She was scared of him but once I loved on him she knew he was safe. They love playing up and down the gate between them.
Who knew Rosie was a romance at heart?! 😅💖

Watercolor with quote both by me.

If I told you I see the beauty in you, Would you begin to see it too?

Please feel free to comment!

Proof the hurricane was very very bad but not so bad that we gave up.

It was absolutely scary but soooooo blessed to have a house, candles, water, food, and that our power was turned on 2 days before we had estimated. Hallelujah for that my friends!!!

And I kept Rosie close so we would both stay safe if not melted from the insane heat in our area and with extra humidity. Yuck!

Just suck in some air but try not to choke as humidity tries to drown you 😅

I prayed and pray still that all of you can quickly get any help you need.

The best thing EVER was being able to cancel appointments from this week- whoop whooop!!! 🥳🤭

I have been a humongous tea fan since I was 16 or so (I am 29 now)

I love to try new teas though only herbal. There are SO many I love how the world has millions of flavors to enjoy!!

My favorite is mint and sleep teas.
That incredible peace your first sip gives 👌

I have gotten everyone I know into teas and my mom has become obsessed with her Chocolate tea. On her hardest work days she takes her tea to work.

(I like my Chocolate cocoa tea best lol but hers is okay too and she has become a humongous fan of coconut creamer with it.)

She is lactose intolerant so tea makes her happier than cocoa with milk though she very much misses indulging.

My body is slowly becoming intolerant too so I can have milk every once in a while.

Peppermint hot cocoa always just makes me so happy!

Soothing goodness on any rough or easy day 😋😋😋

Do you prefer tea on rough days or easier self-care days?

Yay to the best self care aka tea 😁❤️✨️❤️

Words cannot properly express how ridiculous my health is getting. After my ultrasound appointment yesterday (again as I have had many in my years of life trying to figure out why my stomach hurts so so much.).

Thanks to a gifted nurse we finally got a name put to my serious pain.

Yet again it is an instance where I have begged most doctors to help me but they all have brushed it off.

Apparently I have gallstones so much so that barely a trickle of things can get through.

It is caused by a medication I have been on for almost 10yrs.

When I was in fifth grade I had an ultrasound to try to figure out why my stomach hurt then too. I was 8 at the time. No answer until yesterday!

Funny that we cheered at this answer but one of the most common solutions to this being so very severe is to have my gallbladder completely removed.

*sniffle* I REALLY don't want another surgery but having all the severe pain symptoms that goes with this diagnoses, I am so so SOOOOO very ready to be rid of this particular suffering.

SO many instances I just keep assuming various pains are normal only to find out that my condition is the very worst it could be.

The average age for gallstones is 50+ years. And here I am at 29, though it started at 8 and worsened at 20ish years old.

My goodness my body is drowning in issues 😅 God bless this hot mess!!!
