Daddy's Little Girl - Fourth Edition

I learned today that we are more susceptible to dehydration and heat exhaustion, as a "side effect" of medication that treats depression and anxiety....
And maybe this is all meds, but my partner and I were talking about it because the lost was short but we knew most of the medications
Not all meds, but many. And my asthma meds make users suspectible of potassium deficit (and they don't even monitor that here, unless you show serious signs of deficit).
 
I feel human again. Still tired, but human. Not having to shuffle between clothes to find just the right amount to not sweat while still keeping the ache in bay. (It was the first time Daddy saw me doing that yesterday. I kinda didn't always have time to ask for permission to change my outfit...)

But I think I still need a blanket fort and hot chocolate to make up for the fact that I don't have energy for sewing!
 
I'm working on junk journals this morning ...
I find the chaos relaxing.... It's intentional chaos ....
 
That would explain some issues I’ve had…

That drug has it in for me…. Pushed me into diabetes and tries to make me overheat.

I feel your pain! I have the same problems. If it didn't work so well for what it's intended for, I'd have given up on it a long time ago.

I actually have multiple drugs that affect heat tolerance, so I have to be very careful. My mother insists on dragging me out in her un-air conditioned Jeep with the top out when there are heat advisories and wonders why I end up with heat exhaustion nearly every time. "Just drink more," she says. Doesn't really help when you're not sweating in the first place!

Geez, that's irresponsible of her! Not advisable even without drug side effects, it's better to just stay in shade and preferably with ACed spaces.
 
What are junk journals?

Someone else asked me that so I guess I must explain.

So we'd used cardboard and then did a magazine collage on the outside and I found printable journal pages and basically quartered them. But you only cut them one way and then we put a rubber band around the page and the cardboard to make like a binding and the inside is available for drawing or dots or graph paper. I'll have to take pictures when they're completely done. There was some extra gluing that had to be done today so they aren't dry and I didn't take pictures because they weren't complete. So yeah if that doesn't explain it enough I'll post pictures.

I wanted to like this or something g, but no response there seems right. I agree, if it didn’t work so well abilify would be off my list.
 
He's a protector, and saw (and knew) you as in need of being protected from the beginning ❤️
He did. Even before that day when he took me to get my cast off. He had seen me around my friend's house, and he has since told me that I immediately brought out the protector instinct in him. Even before we first spoke. I've considered writing the story of our first year from his perspective. Based on the conversations we've had, he was going to make me His from day one.
