(From a 2021 article on chronic pelvic pain in women: doi:10.1111/anae.15421)
It is important to remember that while we have used gendered terminology throughout that aligns with the title, not everyone born of the female sex and presenting with chronic pelvic pain will identify as a woman or wish to be addressed with the pronouns she/her.

This one will also do that. Every now and then she’ll big spoon me.

11 has finally realized her greatest dream and actually turned into a cat
Photo of a black & white tuxedo cat sitting on a chair at a dining table. In front of the cat is a red bowl with some naked ravioli and a fork in it. The bowl is sitting on a red plate, which is sitting on a white, orange, and black striped placemat with a red napkin. The cat is looking slightly to the right.

Omg the middle schoolers are weaponizing sticky notes.
A photo of a yellow sticky note folded into a triangle. A small silver pointy bit is visible sticking out of the top corner of the triangle. Above the photo is the following text: “We have noticed an uptick in mischievous behaviors. For example, if you see your student making items like this one below, please discourage them. Students are adding staples as well as dart tips to make these objects fly and stick to the ceiling tiles. This is a major concern, especially since it is just made out of a sticky note.”

Nothing like performing successful cardboard box surgery in a hotel room with a knitting needle and a pair of children’s scissors to make you feel like you’ve accomplished something.
A 14 x 14 x 4 inch cardboard box sitting on the corner of a hotel bed. It has clearly been made shorter by folding the sides over and then taping it like there’s no tomorrow. There is a small roll of clear packing tape and a pair of small rounded-tip scissors with neon pink handles sitting on top of the box.

I love public transit trains so much.
View of a subway station on the Cleveland Red line taken from inside the train. Blue seats next to windows are visible and the word “Airport” is tiled in yellow on a blank background on the wall, visible through the train windows.

Attempting to claim some form of victory over this burrito the size of a newborn from a local food truck. I’m not going to win but it’s still delicious.

Hang in there and have a picture of a child playing Uno with a cat.
An 8 yo in purple pj pants and a pink t shirt sitting on the carpet with a gray and white cat, placing a deck of Uno cards in front of the cat. The cat is not impressed.
