Another picture of the brownies. I’ve just added the chocolate sauce. I’ll cut them up later.
Got new pumpkin lights!
Not IBD-related but I wanted to share my new pumpkin lights on this blog as well because they are awesome!
And here’s the second batch with homemade chocolate mousse on top. It in the fridge at the moment but I’ll drizzle homemade chocolate sauce on top later today.
Made more gluten-free brownies yesterday. They came out really chunky so they should last me a while.
Went to the gym for the first time in eight months this morning! I only did forty minutes of gentle exercise but I’m quite proud of myself. I feel like today is going to be a good day.
Napstablook sending you a medicine reminder! 😀
Such a cute, seasonal reminder.
Had a good day
Aside from the wasp sting, I’ve had a good day; had my blood test, got all my food shopping done, baked two lots of brownies and prepared chocolate mousse to put on top tomorrow, and even got dinner ready before 5pm.
The rats have been quite quiet today but they are starting to be a bit more lively now that it’s evening.
The stomach has been ok so today and my cold is all but gone. I’ve got another day off work tomorrow so I’m thinking, because I’m feeling a lot better, I might try a gentle gym session tomorrow morning. Might. I don’t want to push myself so if I do, it’ll be a light workout for no more than an hour. I want to see what I can do but not push myself too much that I end up making myself ill. Fingers crossed I still feel ok tomorrow.
Hey y’all. It’s been a week since I started this blog and just over a week since I started posting on my main blog about this project. And while I got a few testimonials and followers the first few days, I’ve had practically no activity in the last couple of days.
SiM isn’t something that I’m going to let fall by the wayside. I want to make these changes at my school whether or not SiM takes off as a more widespread initiative. But I also want SiM to be as far reaching as possible. We can’t change stigma in medicine unless we are fighting that stigma in more than 1 place. Doing this just at my school isn’t going to change things for anyone but optometry students who are able to go to Boston.
I can’t do this on my own. I’m literally one person who is in graduate school trying to do this. I can’t change institutions of higher learning/medicine by myself. I can’t go to every optometry, dental, nursing, and PA school to implement the changes I’ll be trying to make at my school. I can’t create my own testimonials to demonstrate why SiM is so needed and important. So please, spread the word about SiM. If we don’t get the word out, change can’t be made.
Reblogging to spread the word but to also ask anyone who may be able/want to help to please do so.
My necklace arrived today all the way from Australia. Thank you to Unicorn Culture on Etsy for making this amazing piece of jewellery. They even sent me a flower ring as a free gift.
Monday morning
What a great way to start the day; just been stung on my knee by a wasp. It’s pretty painful but it should stop after a few hours. At least I’m going to the hospital so I’ll be in the right place if I have a bad reaction.
Only one more early blood test for 6MP after today then it’s every two weeks for six before I only need them every eight.
I’m looking forward to being able to lay in on my days off.
My plan today is to have my blood test (maybe get some cream for my sting), do some food shopping then go home to make more bracelets. Possibly (Re: definitely) play with the rats too.
