I think I might just not understand that mode of relationships.

Call me old-fashioned, I guess

When I was in long-term relationships I always felt I couldn't possibly be jealous, because we loved each other and no one who would come into play could change that (until we decided to not be together anymore). And the other way around, "she" never needed to feel jealous, because obviously "I was hers".


I did feel "jealous" after relationships ended though

Last log on 11th July :o: how the hell did that happen? I have been meaning to log on but life has been so busy!

Edit: ****ing American dates. Literally thought the last 6 months of my life had slipped away.

Hey now, don't badmouth our dates! They're one of the foremost cornerstones of our patriotism and heritage!

They look horrible though. Which is the standard everywhere else? Are we the odd ones out in the UK?

...not so busy that you can't follow a rigid exercise routine I hope ! ;)

In Mexico they use the same "day-month-year" system as the UK, because sensible. Another good thing about that order is that it lends itself to dividing the numbers with a word:
23 Feb 2022

I’m trying my best!! I’m working 55 hour weeks at the moment so generally only have time to get my steps in and walk the dog. When I have a bit more time I’ll start doing some more again :).

It doesn’t really matter which way round the date is, I just wish it was universal haha. I am so tired tonight and I looked at the date a few times thinking each time “damn, has it really been since July?” :laughing:

Where's your sense of adventure? How much fun would it be if you never had to second guess yourself when reading a date?

We've missed ya so much, it does seem like July since you were here. "Summer is fading, but my love will remain, like old broken bicycles out in the rain..."

I will remind myself of this next time, it would be absolutely no fun at all.

Aw you’re cute! To be fair I don’t think I have really posted much, I’ve been lurking lots though and keeping an eye on everything from afar :).

I went to the doctor a few weeks ago for the first time in over 10 years and I just set up a follow up appointment to check on my blood work. My doctor says that I need to get seen for my low thyroid as well as my kidney and liver functions. I've known that I have liver and kidneys issues all the way from when I was a kid, but I've put off medical visits for so long due to anxiety and not having insurance. I finally decided to just go and the doctor will help me out if need be.

My mom is kind of freaking out because while to me it doesn't seem like a big issue at the moment, she told me that this could be potentially serious, and I'm just trying to wait until my doctors appointment next week and he'll fill me in on everything I need to do. There is a small chance that I will need to get a procedure done / get treatment for my liver as it has been a long time coming. My thyroid is also concerning as it's much lower than it should be, and that could lead to bigger heart issues later on. So I'm trying to get this all sorted now and hopefully get ahead of it before I run into any other issues. I have noticed in recent months that my breathing has been a little off but that could be due to a number of things. I quit smoking cigs many months ago now but still smoke weed from time to time.

There's a chance that I have what's called hyperthyroidism, but again, I'm waiting for my doctor to fill me in on that before I jump to any conclusions. At the moment, I'm just waiting for that and we'll go from there.

All I can really do right now for myself is to keep myself calm and just wait until I see my doctor. As much as I'd like to believe that this could be nothing, it could very well be serious as well so I want to take it seriously as much as I can while also keeping myself calm.

I'll provide an update once I know more but this is just a reminder that if you haven't gotten a physical or have not seen a doctor in a decent amount of time, I recommend going. I'm not insured but fortunately I can cover the costs. I know that's not the same for everyone, but I just wish everyone good health. And really, just take care of yourself.
