Hey… it’s Anna🖤. And I finally have an update. First of all, let me just say this. A pelvic MRI is not for the weak. I don’t care what anybody says. If you’re claustrophobic, you’re probably going to have a rough time. Now technically, I’m not claustrophobic. At least I didn’t think I was. But…

If you had asked the younger version of me what life would look like at 40, I can promise you this wasn’t the picture she had in mind. Life has a funny way of taking the scenic route, whether we ask for it or not.   Today is my third birthday away from my family.…

Hey… it’s Anna🖤. I know I haven’t said much lately. Life has kind of gotten in the way. Between work, medical appointments, trying to keep my body functioning, and simply being tired, I haven’t had much energy left over for writing. But today I felt like checking in. Mostly because tomorrow is my birthday. And…

Hey… it’s Anna 🖤. I know I’ve been a little out of touch lately. Life has been busy. Actually, busy is probably an understatement. Between work, medical appointments, trying to secure my next contract, and my body deciding to stage a protest, I haven’t had much energy left over for anything else. But I’m here.…

Hey… it’s Anna🖤. So today I did something very important. Absolutely nothing. And honestly? It was glorious.

Which was clearly a mistake. Because now I’m spiraling 😭   It started innocently enough I came across a show called Age of Attraction. And…

Hey… it’s Anna 🖤. And as promised, I have an update about my iron infusion. The good news? It went well. Actually, better than I expected. Which is saying something because if you’ve been following along, you know my body and I have not exactly been on the same page lately.   Iron Infusion Day…

Hey… it’s Anna. And honestly? I can’t sleep tonight. My mind is racing. My chest feels tight. And I’m sitting here trying not to cry because everything feels heavy all at once.   The paycheck situation has me stressed BAD My paycheck is late. And normally maybe that wouldn’t completely send me into panic mode.…

Hey… it’s Anna. And honestly? I’ve been feeling down lately. Not dramatic. Not falling apart loudly. Just quietly tired. Quietly overwhelmed. Quietly trying to make it through each day without mentally collapsing in the middle of a work shift   I think I’ve been in survival mode for too long That’s honestly what it feels…

Hey… it’s Anna. So it’s been a busy weekend. Apparently it’s graduation weekend where I work which means suddenly EVERYTHING needs to be cleaned. Extra cleaned. Super cleaned. “Let’s pretend nobody has lived here all year” cleaned. And honestly? My body has definitely been feeling it.   Between work and my body… it’s been a…
