"Umm, pause button please", (yawns & stretching).…... Get yourself that notebook & writting utensil.
In the middle of the page write the current (today) type symptoms, all possible ones too.

Now think back & on the previous page write down any different o es over this week OR the "ebb & flow" of them. If there is any pain I like to suggest using the 0-10 scale ( we can debate this later)

On previous page to this one write the last week plus up to the first recollection of your first experience....

Now that this is quickly written down in the middle of each page you can return to this in the coming days and add to them as clarity and your memory decide to bring them to light.

This practice shouldn't take more than 15 to 20 minutes right now to get all that written & caught up to now - as it were....

(Yawns & stretches) now I'm gonna finally get up.....

I will do this tonight though when I’m sitting over there.

Beautiful! My husband really wants to start a Christmas village. Yours looks amazing.

We used to have one from the dollar store for the kiddo when he was little. Lindt has lots of different figures that we used as filler. . Santa and reindeer, angels, snowmen, etc. all delicious additions that dont need to be stored

Not always! You can find a lot of good academic articles and information there.

Yup. Just be mindful of the source. Lots of peer reviewed things. Healthline seems to be pretty good, I never believe 100% of medical stuff. I always bring it up with my doctor if
I feel thats necessary. The Spruce is really good. Etc.

If you order enough stuff what you save on shipping is over the 90.

Usually, for most people. It took me months to convince hubs of that

i think we finally got a plan together for the heater and cage situation and I also added a couple of the solar lights to put in the subaviary

Wait until you are my age.
I have 2 brains.

I have 3+ "brains" on any given day... What wrong with this plan?

1) between my ears
2) between my Better-half's ears
3) the "notepad or notes apps" on phone & pc (together equal 1)
3.5) the calendar in the phone connected to email
4) the kiddos
5) the 'smaller heads brain'
6) my paper notebooks or drawing pads
7) online stuff (haiku thread here, twitter, livejournal accts)

There, that's my collective hive mind.

Aw, thanks

I wish I didn't
I look worse than a naked mole rat

Not buying it.... Didn't in school either.

Trouble is it’s hard to tell what’s actual symptoms and what’s just me overeating and not moving and my body being used to that. And also while I do definitely have a problem with overeating and need to work on it, I am also just a lot bigger (not even weight, just height and frame wise) than most people and need more food in general, like a Great Dane wouldn’t eat the same as a faker I get really sick and weak if I don’t eat enough or often enough. But I do need to focus on eating actual meals instead of snacks and ice cream Ive actually been better about the ice cream lately. I think if I just ate a few normal meals, it’d be way better. I actually did just eat brunch and it was delicious and much more my speed ham, spinach, and cheese omelette with a couple pieces of toast. No pics cause I messed the omelette up and broke it (every time I try to do it the “right” way, this happens ) but was still delicious. Used Colby Jack cheese in it this time. I haven’t had an omelette in a while so I figured I would instead of fried eggs! And hopefully this will keep me full all day. not time to write stuff down as I gotta go now.

I think Monk meant for you to write things down so you can spot a potential pattern and also hidden things that you wouldnt think of or even notice on their own. You are doing really good. Why? You are aware and you care. However, dont worry so much. Stress and anxiety exacerbate things.

You can do it on your phone too. Just use your Notes app or you can even message yourself.

None of those matter. Once a man gets married he is not allowed an original thought any longer.
