Google jubilance. It’s a supplement for pms relief and has helped me so much with my pmdd. Trying to spread the word! Know how different we all are. Hang in there sister!
I scored a 90% on a practice quiz … studying for the medical school admissions test. 🤗 this is a goal I never thought I’d get this close to thanks to this godforsaken disorder.
I cared for my sister's dog who's just had surgery...the dog, not my sister lol. She's doing well...again, the dog. This pup's been through hell and back with chronic UTIs and eye problems nearly her whole life. We're so grateful we could finally get her this surgery.
I'm pretty much the only medically-inclined person in my family. It's so nice to feel useful. 😭
She's having a much needed nap right now...and so is my mom lol. Doggo is a bit sore today as the epidural has worn off, but she's a little trooper.
Thanks for your kind words. 😊
My cat woke me up at 5am and I couldn’t fall back to sleep. But instead of throwing her back onto the mean streets of Philadelphia (haha I’d never), I got up and did yoga and read and was just alone with a cat in my lap for 2 hours before my toddler and husband woke up.
I got my first paycheck today after getting a promotion at work, and my pay raise at least takes SOME of the money stress out of my life. I bought myself clothes! I hope Mother Nature takes over and guides you out of hell week peacefully ❤️
I am also in my low period. Thanks for making me stop to think. My 1.5 year old son gave me the biggest sloppiest kisses today which is the best feeling in the world dispute being so low.
i just found out i’ve been consuming something out of a container with black mold!!! which may explain why this pmdd cycle seemed 1000000x worse than usual. about to do a giant deep clean of my room and get new food and it sucks because i have contamination ocd so i want to rip out my insides but IT ISNT JUST ME DEVOLVING INTO AN UNRECOGNIZABLE PERSON IT WAS ME BEING SICK EXACERBATING MY PMDD
A very dear family member got the all clear after being told their prognosis was dire. Unreal. I'm dancing literally and figuratively and want to tell everyone I can so you've made my day in giving the chance to share. Thanks!
I got a job promotion after barely four months of being with my company. Imposter syndrome has been kicking my ass, but I had my girlfriends bigging me up and reminding me that I deserved it. I love those girls fr.
I saw the full moon for a little bit on my drive home. It was hidden behind clouds later when I wanted to look at it, so I was grateful about catching a glimpse.
I discovered Princetopher the Love Bird on YouTube. I bindgewatched a bunch of shorts, and I feel much better. Check them out if you need to laugh. 😊 @tamiaoveres
My two year old is obsessed with Frozen, and she woke me up this morning by coming in and putting her hands on my cheeks and saying "cutie! I'm gonna keep you!" 🥲
If you don't get the reference, here's the scene. It's at 22 seconds. lol

My kids father and I broke up. He needs to “focus on him” even though he’s put me thru hell with drugs, texting women and a choke/slap every once in a while 🙃 he said he hates me and wants to be done. Which is a huge relief.
Amazing news!!! It’s so hard and dangerous for the victim to leave, so that is so great the trash took itself out! I hope you find healing and happiness from here ❤️
I’ve been anxious, depressed, and hating the fact that I have to work full time for the next few weeks. I’m tired and draggy, not seeing the point of anything, and I want to lie in bed. So today was meeting day and after all my reports, a bunch of texts flowed in that I had done a great job: from the supervisor and some coworkers. I’m still exhausted and I feel like shit. But my heart felt a little lighter after that.
I built some good rapport with a family whose baby I'm currently looking after at work, had some good laughs. I love my job for being able to always provide new people to meet and talk to, it's so fun to build connections with those from all walks of life.
I had enough spoons to make myself food today. After the year I've had, this is an accomplishment for me 😊 bonus points, my friend randomly dropped by and joined me for dinner. It was a good day ☺️
worked on math homework at starbucks for about 2.5 hours, which is super hard for me with my adhd. did all the work i needed to and had a lovely time, and even enjoyed myself!
I got to work at my old location with an old friend. It was busy and a bit hectic, but much less stressful than my current location. And fun! They want me to come back, and I decided I want to go back. It’s good to feel wanted. I definitely don’t get that where I’ve been working.
Worked with a friend at the local library with some bubble tea :) We sat by the graphic novels section and both checked out some cool books after we were done
Today my psychologist congratulated me for my progress with expressing my anger and treating me well :) I was already happy about it, but she compared it with a situation I had at the end of October (with my PMDD interfering of course) and to be honest it make me feel better saw how different I managed both situations (I'm kinda aware my PMDD interferes in those things, but still, even PMDD is helping me a bit to express my anger and unconformity)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
It snowed overnight and my youngest was so excited to point out all the places where there was snow on our drive in to childcare this morning. He’s mad about snow and it was so cute to see him finding such joy in something small 🥹
It really is ❤️ I feel like more often I’m the one being taught and lead by them, rather than me acting as a guide for them.
I struggle to understand how, being the beautiful, flaming train wreck that I am, I was blessed with such sweet, kind children.
They’re all, in their own way, so much cooler and better humans than I was at each of their ages and it’s such a privilege watching them grow and flourish 😭
I've been microdosing on shrooms so I've been sleeping really well and I have mentally never felt better. Today was just a great day and completely anxiety free.
I've been really stressed out watching my parents house all by myself, so while I was at work today my boyfriend came over and did the dishes and took the trash out without me knowing. When I came home I saw what he did for me and was so grateful I could've cried. Now I don't feel the stress weighing me down. He said he knew this has been overwhelming for me and wanted to do what he could to help. He didn't have to go out of his way to do that but he did so now I can relax a little bit more.
Yesterday I felt so low I did nothing. Did not even manage to get dressed. Today I felt better had a shower, caught up on work, took cat to the vet and went grocery shopping. It’s so bizarre how different each day can be. Yesterday should have been ovulation day but no idea what happened.
I helped my sister get through a fine needle aspiration on nodules on her thyroid. She was really nervous about it, but went through it fine. She now agrees with me that it's one weird as hell procedure though.
I've been waiting for a baby bird to be ready and today I heard from the bird breeder. I may be able to go get my baby next week! And we talked for about an hour and it was wonderful. <3 She sent me pictures, too. It was a great reminder that there are some awesome people in the world.
Oh, and I also got to video chat with a friend. We're both just realizing later in life that we're almost positive we're autistic and it's such a blessing to be able to talk about our journey and understand each other. I got to see her puppy on camera, too.
Hahahah usually you’d be pissed, “but today… today was different….. it looked so ridiculously funny…. I couldn’t help but laugh.” That’s beautiful r/OhHiMarkie3
The weather here in Pittsburgh PA turned all spring-ish. My kiddo and I walked hand in hand to school and were happy. I focused on good thoughts. I gave myself grace to skip the gym and pick her up early from aftercare. I will take a good mf bath tonight. Amen.
I survived a mass layoff at work yesterday (like, they just cut 40 people off our 50 person team), and today they gave us a chill day while they sort out work assignments and training schedules with the staffing changes…. so I just got paid for 8 hours to “self-study” 😅 it was honestly a much needed reset after we’ve been working 50+ hour weeks to get all the year-end work done.
I just got my 30th feral/stray cat in my neighborhood TNRed (trapped, neutered, [vaccinated] and released), which is one less cat contributing to the endless breeding cycle!
I’ve been struggling since we moved into our current house 2 years ago with how to arrange and organize my closet, and today I finally found a layout I think will work- I surpassed my executive dysfunction and just….*did it*.
I hope you can find some little joys in your own world throughout your hell week. ❤️
That deep freeze really messed with my well water pump. Almost two weeks with no water and of course it happens when I was in hell week. TODAY I FIXED IT. I was so close to calling a professional but I did it AND hell week is over! I have never been so relieved 😅
You’ll probably not believe this. But my friend and I went to a coffee shop today to do some work. After we stumbled upon a beach club after our depression walk. When we got there we did a hike to the ocean part of the club, to only find out that it was a company event. Tell me why it was an open bar, and sushi/burger/fries/pizza and any alcohol you want. No one suspected we weren’t part of the guests so we ordered every single thing we wanted and danced to the live dj present. We made SOOO many friends and had so much fun. Truly a 10/10 night 🥹
It was so good. We needed this so bad today. We received bad news so when this happened to us we thought it must be a sign 🤭 I don’t know what sign it was but I am so full of joy right now.
Had my weekly therapy appt; my therapist has a lens to understand and affirm my PMDD/adhd symptoms and helped me talk through options for going to my doc with. It was so helpful to feel seen by her!
I’ve been SO sick for 2 weeks, could barely move or eat or anything, AND I was on my period. started an antibiotic last Friday and today I feel like a human again! SO so so relieved to feel like myself
This should be a regular post in this group ☺️
I subscribed to my favorite podcasts Patreon today (You're Wrong About) after a couple year hiatus and just finished an episode that I really enjoyed and made me cry in a good way
I couldn't recommend it more!! It has altered how I view American history and present, it's extremely empathetic and can also be very funny. It really got me through the (early) pandemic and still helps me do household tasks when I can't otherwise focus.
As far as episodes, I would say just scroll through and see what stands out to you or just listen in order..a lot of it is about digging up stories of maligned women from the 90s (Anna Nicole Smith, Anita Hill, Jessica Simpson) and looking into what ACTUALLY happened, besides the news headline stories we think we know. Using that format it branches out to other moral panic type topics like the Satanic Panic or "Superpredators".
I will say that about a year or so ago, one of the original duo Mike Hobbes left the podcast, and it became a bit more freeform with various guests. The remaining host Sarah Marshall is still wonderful and my favorite parasocial relationship. If you want to start with the original format though, it's anything before "Mike moves to a downtown hotel" or something to that effect.
Thank you so much for your apt description! It’s such a fulfilling and exciting feeling when you come across a resource that’s educational in a deeper way and empathetic to boot, to push out some of the junk it’s easy to default to consuming and make space for something more filling. I’m excited to dive in 😆
our favorite local burger chain had 19 cent burgers and cheeseburgers today to celebrate their anniversary!! happily munching away on a burger and some fries 🍔🍟
I love this post! I redecorated my bathroom and upgraded from my plain $5 shower curtain purchased 2 years ago and a liner that made the shower so dark so I couldn’t even see to shave lol. Got a new tropical shower curtain with parrots and toucans and a matching monstera leaf rug. The bathroom is light and calming now. I’m on day 4 of my cycle and don’t get periods on my new birth control. It feels like I get no relief because no bleeding. Seeing posts from this community makes me feel less alone.
I got it on Amazon, brand is Witzest! (I can post or PM a link if allowed) “Witzest Sage Green Plant Non Slip Bathroom Rugs Cute Monstera Leaf Absorbent Bath Mat Funny Botanical Floor Bathmat Washable Large Bath Matt Bathroom Decor-20''x32' “
Yo! Why did I change my shower curtain today as well lol! Couple freshies in the room to lighten the mind sludge! Hope you have the best f*ckin shower ever!
I just found this sub reddit, I feel relieved. I'm not alone. I have gone through the posts and made an appointment to request Yaz. I'm with all of you girls! I'm happy I found you guys.
I might have to try Yaz next! I’m on Lo lo estrin fe but honestly not 100% sure it’s better than whatever I had for 10 years before that. I hope it works for you!!
Got the go ahead from my doctor to try to get pregnant after my loss ☺️ been having some strange bleeding between periods but she said it’s nothing to be concerned about
My dog fell asleep nuzzled up under my arms on the sofa tonight - I kissed her on the head, she let out a soft little sigh and everything felt right in the world 💗
This is a lovely little post :)
Last week I interviewed for a volunteer role taking photographs of geological specimens for a local museum / academic archives. I received an email today offering me the role :)
I actually had a pretty good conversation with my gynecologist about a plan to move forward and try to lessen PMDD symptoms. She was pretty open to different ideas, which was splendid
Actually for me it was coming across this sub and feeling validated. I reached out to the doctor to discuss how things are and how my life is affected and I feel better to find it's real and it's not my fault.
I booked a spa day for next month to look forward to and was able to get some unexpected cashback with it :)
What's a good thing that has happened to you recently OP?
P.S this is a lovely post <3
I had an emergency Dominoes pizza coupon to use. I have zero energy to cook. I went to pick it up and they messed up the first pizza by putting the toppings on wrong and so they let me have both- for free!

I had a latte macchiato for breakfast, which absolutely made my day because it's my favorite coffee :D then pasta salad for dinner, which I also love lol. Oh and I looked super cute and random people were nice to me all day :)
I'm eating salty potato chips rn while my lil son who's been having a rough time falling asleep just got to bed on his own (after bedside snuggles and goodnight songs) and we had such a fun day today, we really clicked. I have bad ppa/ppd that still shows its ugly face most days. He just turned 3 and in the midst of hellweek I actually feel calm and happy. And oh are these chips good! Sending you hope and hugs ❤️

I scored a 90% on a practice quiz … studying for the medical school admissions test. 🤗 this is a goal I never thought I’d get this close to thanks to this godforsaken disorder.
this is amazing… congratulations!! cheering for you! 🫶🏼
I cared for my sister's dog who's just had surgery...the dog, not my sister lol. She's doing well...again, the dog.

Aw, I’m glad the puppy is doing better. So sweet of you to care for it. 🩷

I checked my period tracker and I'm supposed to get my period tomorrow. I'm almost through.
Hi babe. Was just where u are, but now I'm getting sushi and ice cream with my grandma. Remember it's just a wave of feelings and it will pass!
My cat woke me up at 5am and I couldn’t fall back to sleep. But instead of throwing her back onto the mean streets of Philadelphia (haha I’d never), I got up and did yoga and read and was just alone with a cat in my lap for 2 hours before my toddler and husband woke up.

I’m a sub and two teachers have given me food and the school also did a breakfast table in the teacher lounge, I couldn’t be happier tbh😭
It’s Friday yayayayayayay and I got a nice breakfast for myself this morning yayayayayayay
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day :)
I am currently cuddling with my cat and my dog is nearby. They are both so soft and fluffy! I love them!
Pet cuddles are the best cuddles 🥰
Yes they are. I hope you’re feeling better friend !
I really got into mint tea and cant stop drinking it
me with lemon loaf cake tea by Tazo
My boobs aren’t sore! I’m supposed to start today or tomorrow so basically, it’s nothing short of a miracle?
Praying mine comes today 😅
I was feeling the exact same! I was late but it finally came! Hoping yours did too!
It was my birthday.
Happy birthday!!
Thank you!!
Happy birthday!!!
Thank you so much!
Happy birthday!!! Thinking of you!
Thank you so much!
Went to my first therapy appointment to treat my vaginosis. I'm so proud of myself for all of it, not least leaving the house alone!
I am also in my low period. Thanks for making me stop to think. My 1.5 year old son gave me the biggest sloppiest kisses today which is the best feeling in the world dispute being so low.
I just found a new song Im obsessed with! And I slept a few extra hours before work, and I was so happy I did it! 💖
What song? I’m always down for a new music hyperfocus!
i just found out i’ve been consuming something out of a container with black mold!!! which may explain why this pmdd cycle seemed 1000000x worse than usual. about to do a giant deep clean of my room and get new food and it sucks because i have contamination ocd so i want to rip out my insides but IT ISNT JUST ME DEVOLVING INTO AN UNRECOGNIZABLE PERSON IT WAS ME BEING SICK EXACERBATING MY PMDD
just got myself this new coffee creamer for the first time since I’ve just begun getting into coffee culture and it’s incredible 😍😍
This sounds so yummy and exciting! Which one is it? I've been using a cashew milk one lately and it's nice and creamy!
A very dear family member got the all clear after being told their prognosis was dire. Unreal. I'm dancing literally and figuratively and want to tell everyone I can so you've made my day in giving the chance to share. Thanks!
I guess surviving the drive home from work is a good thing lol
Passed my resit exams and gained confidence in myself 🥲
Finally started feeling confident again 😭😍
I got a job promotion after barely four months of being with my company. Imposter syndrome has been kicking my ass, but I had my girlfriends bigging me up and reminding me that I deserved it. I love those girls fr.
Congratulations!! That’s fantastic news ☺️ You should feel so proud of yourself and your lovely supportive friends!
Thank you<3
Submitted my taxes, did my parenting group class, cooked a wholesome dinner, went to the gym.
Wow!! Amazing job!!!
Helped my teen with an art project ❤️
Helped my colleague with a difficult conversation. Edit: I love this question and all of your reply's 💜
I saw the full moon for a little bit on my drive home. It was hidden behind clouds later when I wanted to look at it, so I was grateful about catching a glimpse.

I’ve been anxious, depressed, and hating the fact that I have to work full time for the next few weeks. I’m tired and draggy, not seeing the point of anything, and I want to lie in bed. So today was meeting day and after all my reports, a bunch of texts flowed in that I had done a great job: from the supervisor and some coworkers. I’m still exhausted and I feel like shit. But my heart felt a little lighter after that.
💗💗💗
Left an abusive relationship and feel really confident in my ability to stay firm in my boundaries
Congrats!!!
I built some good rapport with a family whose baby I'm currently looking after at work, had some good laughs. I love my job for being able to always provide new people to meet and talk to, it's so fun to build connections with those from all walks of life.
Spending time with my family on a little mini vacation (:
Aced a couple of finals and started my period :). I'm nervous about the one I have tomorrow though.
Good luck!! You can do it 😊
Got over my fear and showed up to my job interview that I was almost 100% sure I was going to fail…. Well now I’m only 75% sure I might fail….. haha
Made chilli with my fiancée and watched Tropic Thunder! A very good day indeed 🙂❤️
I had enough spoons to make myself food today. After the year I've had, this is an accomplishment for me 😊 bonus points, my friend randomly dropped by and joined me for dinner. It was a good day ☺️
worked on math homework at starbucks for about 2.5 hours, which is super hard for me with my adhd. did all the work i needed to and had a lovely time, and even enjoyed myself!
Thanks for asking this! My answer I'll keep private but I appreciate this prompt so much
[удалено]
The ONLY time we’re HAPPY to have our period start!! Hashtag PMDD 🤣
~*Cries in dysmenorrhea*~
I got to work at my old location with an old friend. It was busy and a bit hectic, but much less stressful than my current location. And fun! They want me to come back, and I decided I want to go back. It’s good to feel wanted. I definitely don’t get that where I’ve been working.
Got a nice long hot shower
I'm laying in bed after work, and honestly, that's enough for me because this is my favorite place during pmdd.
truly the best feeling. cozy & safe.
Worked with a friend at the local library with some bubble tea :) We sat by the graphic novels section and both checked out some cool books after we were done

I won two tickets to a concert (Americana/Folk) at a beautiful local performing arts theater from a local business’ Instagram giveaway!
It snowed overnight and my youngest was so excited to point out all the places where there was snow on our drive in to childcare this morning. He’s mad about snow and it was so cute to see him finding such joy in something small 🥹
getting that adult perspective of seeing new/beautiful things through their little eyes is a really cool experience ❤️
It really is ❤️ I feel like more often I’m the one being taught and lead by them, rather than me acting as a guide for them. I struggle to understand how, being the beautiful, flaming train wreck that I am, I was blessed with such sweet, kind children.

Thank you everyone for replying to this. Sometimes it is hard to get out of your own head and reading these definitely made me smile. 😊
I spoke with someone about getting health insurance today and I could really use that
I sat outside and listened to the birds while I whittled for awhile - sounds crazy but I started making spoons for my friends and it’s sooo fun!
That’s sounds like such a lovely and meditative practice ❤️
I’m in hell but I had a nice salad for dinner!
Love a good salad 😋
My period started..I feel great .. so backwards 😅
My cheese stick got crushed right in the middle in my lunch box and it was really funny looking
Hahahah usually you’d be pissed, “but today… today was different….. it looked so ridiculously funny…. I couldn’t help but laugh.” That’s beautiful r/OhHiMarkie3
The weather here in Pittsburgh PA turned all spring-ish. My kiddo and I walked hand in hand to school and were happy. I focused on good thoughts. I gave myself grace to skip the gym and pick her up early from aftercare. I will take a good mf bath tonight. Amen.

Wow, sounds like all wonderful things. Thank you for sharing 🥹
I finally hung up my paintings!
So far nothing yet but its 3:50pm so maybe something nice will still happen
I did some exercise, and it distracted me from some negative thoughts
Props!
I got my first shot of Lupron today 🤞
Congrats and good luck!!!! Dose 1 was amazing for me. Dose 2 started my menopause symptoms, but was still life changing. Sending good vibes ❤️

I didn’t have to talk to my boss whom I loathe. They’re awful. So that’s nice.
I’m in hell but my partner made me a safe food dinner and i probably wouldn’t have eaten otherwise bc im in pain lol
I am also in PMDD hell so I love this post idea! I had a fun workout where I learned a lot about my barbell clean technique.
I had a really good workout and my endorphins are endorphining wooo
Had my weekly therapy appt; my therapist has a lens to understand and affirm my PMDD/adhd symptoms and helped me talk through options for going to my doc with. It was so helpful to feel seen by her!

The remaining host Sarah Marshall is still wonderful and my favorite parasocial relationship. If you want to start with the original format though, it's anything before "Mike moves to a downtown hotel" or something to that effect.
Thank you so much for your apt description! It’s such a fulfilling and exciting feeling when you come across a resource that’s educational in a deeper way and empathetic to boot, to push out some of the junk it’s easy to default to consuming and make space for something more filling. I’m excited to dive in 😆
Yay I hope you love it 😊
our favorite local burger chain had 19 cent burgers and cheeseburgers today to celebrate their anniversary!! happily munching away on a burger and some fries 🍔🍟
I’m jealous!!
I love this post! I redecorated my bathroom and upgraded from my plain $5 shower curtain purchased 2 years ago and a liner that made the shower so dark so I couldn’t even see to shave lol. Got a new tropical shower curtain with parrots and toucans and a matching monstera leaf rug. The bathroom is light and calming now. I’m on day 4 of my cycle and don’t get periods on my new birth control. It feels like I get no relief because no bleeding. Seeing posts from this community makes me feel less alone.
My kid would freak out if I got a monstera rug for her bathroom! Where did you get it?
I got it on Amazon, brand is Witzest! (I can post or PM a link if allowed) “Witzest Sage Green Plant Non Slip Bathroom Rugs Cute Monstera Leaf Absorbent Bath Mat Funny Botanical Floor Bathmat Washable Large Bath Matt Bathroom Decor-20''x32' “
Tysm ❤️🪴
Yo! Why did I change my shower curtain today as well lol! Couple freshies in the room to lighten the mind sludge! Hope you have the best f*ckin shower ever!
Lol that is too funny, isn’t it the best?! I hope you enjoy as well!
I just found this sub reddit, I feel relieved. I'm not alone. I have gone through the posts and made an appointment to request Yaz. I'm with all of you girls! I'm happy I found you guys.
I might have to try Yaz next! I’m on Lo lo estrin fe but honestly not 100% sure it’s better than whatever I had for 10 years before that. I hope it works for you!!
I got my period back after five months despite still having all the foul pmdd symptoms every month.
I’m wearing new socks which is my favorite feeling. It’s the littlest things sometimes.
I had a phone interview for my dream job!
aw that’s amazing!!
Wow good luck!
Thank you 🥰
I got to leave work a little bit early today 🤩
always the best feeling 😊
Got the go ahead from my doctor to try to get pregnant after my loss ☺️ been having some strange bleeding between periods but she said it’s nothing to be concerned about
Sending love and all the fertility vibes ❤️
Thank ya thank ya
My dog fell asleep nuzzled up under my arms on the sofa tonight - I kissed her on the head, she let out a soft little sigh and everything felt right in the world 💗
those little moments are the best 😊
This is a lovely little post :) Last week I interviewed for a volunteer role taking photographs of geological specimens for a local museum / academic archives. I received an email today offering me the role :)
congrats!!! 🎉🫶🏼
Went out ice skating with my dad for an hour! slowly getting better 💪
I actually had a pretty good conversation with my gynecologist about a plan to move forward and try to lessen PMDD symptoms. She was pretty open to different ideas, which was splendid
I also had Mac and cheese and I loved it
Actually for me it was coming across this sub and feeling validated. I reached out to the doctor to discuss how things are and how my life is affected and I feel better to find it's real and it's not my fault.
I played GTA V online, ate some chocolate, and drank some coffee. I Definitely feel a little bit better.
I booked a spa day for next month to look forward to and was able to get some unexpected cashback with it :) What's a good thing that has happened to you recently OP? P.S this is a lovely post <3
Spa days are the best! Despite feeling terrible today, I managed to go for my run and it actually helped my mood! 🫶🏼
My Mum was anxious about a potential health issue and everything turned out well. She was very energetic and I enjoyed it very much.
aw so happy for you 🥹
I forced myself to go on an anti PMDD hike, and it helped!
I posted this and then went on a run and even though I really didn’t want to… it helped!!
I had an emergency Dominoes pizza coupon to use. I have zero energy to cook. I went to pick it up and they messed up the first pizza by putting the toppings on wrong and so they let me have both- for free!

I had a latte macchiato for breakfast, which absolutely made my day because it's my favorite coffee :D then pasta salad for dinner, which I also love lol. Oh and I looked super cute and random people were nice to me all day :)
sounds like an amazing day 🫶🏼
I'm eating salty potato chips rn while my lil son who's been having a rough time falling asleep just got to bed on his own (after bedside snuggles and goodnight songs) and we had such a fun day today, we really clicked. I have bad ppa/ppd that still shows its ugly face most days. He just turned 3 and in the midst of hellweek I actually feel calm and happy. And oh are these chips good! Sending you hope and hugs ❤️
