Especially since just the other week I read about a guy who had an engagement ring made out of the bone in the lower half of his leg that he had amputated due too infection. My response was pretty much this face :/ And then I read that some people get their gall/kidney stones made into pearls and yeah ... yuck.<br /><br />I wrote back to your email! We should write, even if it's sporadic! It'll be fun! Almost as much fun as all the exclamation marks I seem to be using!

I LOVE long comments!
You c...Don't apologize! I LOVE long comments! <br /><br />You can eat stuff you couldn't before!?!?!? I am so excited to hear that and I cling to the hope that this will not be forever!<br /><br />Don't you hate that weird limbo of questioning self-pity, "why is it just me and not everyone else" and convicting shame, "not that I wish ill on others!!!!!" <br /><br />Sigh, I feel like anything that comes out of my mouth these days has to have a disclaimer on it. Ie: "I mean, it's not cancer, I know it could be worse....." Ick. <br /><br />To find the fine line between honesty without going into whining. It's tough, I don't want to be fake and say, "everything is fine" when it's not, but I don't want to be that person that is constantly talking about health issues. What to do?<br /><br />I'm so sorry you understand all of this, as I do not wish it upon you...but I will admit it is comforting knowing you're there on the other side of the planet dealing with some of the same things. Twinsies? Thyroid Twinsies? We should have BFF Thyroid necklaces made!!! ;-D AAHAHAHAH! Creeeepy.<br /><br />Pen pals. I'm thinking about it. I WANT to!!! I'm just so bad at it. I end up thinking, "I should write that person....but I think I will sleep instead." :-( Dang it, I need to email you about the sour dough too! See??? Flaky.<br /><br />Do you even know when I write back to your comments? I wonder if you'll get this.<br /><br />(how do you like THIS for a long comment?)The Body Electrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945209330647855946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096786653553635219.post-92066604481959006612010-08-07T17:53:35.584-07:002010-08-07T17:53:35.584-07:00Congratulations on managing to pull off such an am...Congratulations on managing to pull off such an amazing weekend for your Mum! I bet she had such a great time! :D LOVE the photos.<br /><br />I know exactly how you're feeling right now. I remember when my doctor told me my health problems (allergies, thyroids etc - seriously, are you my twin?!) were due to mosquito spraying in my area as a kid. My heart dropped. I felt that it was so unfair that I have been sick for most of my life thanks to something I couldn't help. And then came the, "How come no one else is sick?!" thoughts (pretty childish, I know). And then I was hopeful because my doctor put me on some medication that he said could help me. And now, finally, I'm excited because for the first time in years I can eat some of the food I was previously 'allergic' too. And I can use normal toothpaste and use proper soap (don't worry, I wasn't stinky - I used soap-free body wash).<br /><br />It's interesting that we go through a grieving process over something "trivial" - and I don't use that word lightly because I know that losing your dream home isn't trivial at all. I will pray for you and hopefully you will find a place you love (or will grow to love) even more than where you are living right now. And I'll pray that you get better quickly :D<br /><br />Oh, and also, I would LOVE to be penpals with you! :D I don't think you would disappoint me at all. Paper Sky sounds like an awesome stationery store. I seriously don't make enough money to fund my obsession (I tend to hoarde my stuff too, haha).<br /><br />Email me (real.street7@gmail.com)!<br /><br />x Jasmine<br /><br />PS.

Everyone we know is always shocked at how amazing our apartment is for the price. Blah blah blah. So tired of being whiny, sadly, I don't think it's going to stop anytime soon. ;-)<br /><br />Tess, thank you my dear! You are such a sweet heart, hopefully all of this will lead to me feeling better. It just feels worse in the mean time....but most things beneficial are uncomfortable to begin with.<br /><br />Christijolu, thank you so much! I grew up without AC and I keep wondering when I got so soft...then I realize, oh yeah, as a kid I spent the summer in the pool. Right. I don't have that option now. ;-) Living in water does make 100 degrees not so bad. :-)The Body Electrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945209330647855946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096786653553635219.post-25160003082061250352010-08-05T11:32:58.803-07:002010-08-05T11:32:58.803-07:00That must have been fun!!!

That is quite...I'm sorry that you have to move! That is quite an ordeal and I can understand why you're upset. Finding a place you truly feel at home in and like you've made it yours is hard to leave, especially since finding a new home and uprooting yourself is challenging. I also hope you feel better.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831607001500157567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096786653553635219.post-90610393214652352392010-08-05T10:49:29.295-07:002010-08-05T10:49:29.295-07:00That's really sweet what your dad and siblings...That's really sweet what your dad and siblings did for your mom's birthday. Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the beach. :)<br /><br />Also sometimes you just need time to process everything, especially changes that might be beyond your control. Although you might not have the physical home, you'll have all the memories. Corny I know. But maybe something good will come out of this, like you'll find a nicer apartment in your location and price range. Everything will work out.<br />(I think that's some advice I should be giving to myself too. :P)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254241684056910343noreply@blogger.com
