try and keep a baseball hat/visor on with beak of cap to try and protect your eyes. It helped me after my third concussion. the brightness is brutal.
I know the nausea is from a migraine because every time I turn on a light I need to throw up. Sitting in dark bedroom. Oh well. Shit happens. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Never give those the satisfaction. They certainly don't deserve any consideration. Happy birthday and try and keep smiling. You definitely deserve that.
Today is my birthday. I never acknowledge my birthday because someone made me feel worthless. And didn’t acknowledge my birthday It was just another day year after year! I’m wishing myself a happy birthday πŸŽπŸŽ‰

Can't beat thunder and lightning, just like ice and black ice or trying to outrun a bear. You did right thing.
Are you even a photographer if thunder makes you run inside not outside?

Parents are again out of control overstepping bounds going after high school coaches and private schools are poaching FCIAC athletes more than ever. We will be talking about this Sunday on The Ruden Report Live.

Doctor, you look perfect!!!
I am 52 & gave up Botox & hair colour 5 yeas ago b/c I work too hard & survived too much #misogyny to give my money to ppl that want to make me feel terrible about myself. No one needs to like this pic, but I needed to post it, because I finally like who I am πŸ’•.

I’m glad a friend pointed this out. When I say cancer, I am including everyone with a debilitating chronic illness that leaves you exhausted and/or bedridden. Society treats the ill & disabled horribly. We must support each other. #fuckcancer

thinking good thoughts
Scanxiety is in full bloom waiting for my annual MRI! It’s so hard to differentiate between nerve regeneration pain and what it felt like before I was diagnosed! I’m keeping my thoughts positive, but keep me in your prayers @ThanksCancer #ScrewCancer #TNBC #TripleNegativeCancer

In today's Republican American, Post University baseball team is featured - it has won all eight CACC games this season, and late in the game, the Eagles are up big on Chestnut Hill in the first game of a doubleheader in Philadelphia.

prayers with you, think of good thoughts and great memories together.
Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my dear father. He was 95 and lived a blessed life and was a kind, gentle and loving Dad & proud of his career with the πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Navy. I’m grateful he is now with my Mom and my daughter but I’m heartbroken & will miss him so much.
