I only had 8 good weeks of training for my gravel event on Saturday, but I am really excited to see how it goes now that my chronic illness is, if not cured, at least in a stranglehold for a bit (hopefully the rest of my life).
One thing’s for sure, though: Taper weeks are fuckin’ boring.
I’m sad I didn’t visit the beach when I visited NYC a few weeks ago. But not being in a car for an entire week made me very happy. I bet this book makes me happy, too! Can’t wait to read it.
The meal that arose out of using up bits and pieces of whatever was around the kitchen in between deliveries, it has since morphed into a monster requiring its own special menu and purchasing.
Should go without saying that the human knowledge behind this is priceless. Knowing what varietal to plant where and when. She said the tomatoes they harvested there wouldn’t grow 100 miles away.

In the vein of “it’s easier to find a job when you have one”, I just accepted an offer in my previous field and have been completing onboarding today. Then, a position finaaaally opened in my new field, which I just applied for. Second position is much preferred, think happy thoughts for ya girl.
So patients have to rest a really long time, because vaginal evisceration is totally a thing that can happen. Sex is pretty much the same as it was, although without a cervix I am missing some cervical contractions and vaginal atrophy is a thing.
Thanks for asking! I love talking about my new body.
It’s pretty cool and interesting, actually. And why the recovery is 2 months of a 10# weight restriction. They basically sew the top of the vagina up, making what they call a vaginal cuff. It’s basically sewn like the toe of a sock. Then reattach ligaments to it so it all stays put.
I have had my uterus (and ovaries, tubes, cervix, appendix) removed for endometriosis. I am now on HRT (E and T). I haven’t noticed this. What does take some time getting used to are new intestine sensations. If the endo is properly excised, as mine was, you don’t get any other symptoms.
