I managed to get an hour of sleep, sort of, and since then the contractions moved back to 5-10 mins apart but stronger and more painful. Trying to sleep again now if I can get tired enough to drop off in those 5 min gaps...
Ooh, good luck! <3 <3

I was aiming for Aqua/Mocha combo, so I have no idea how that happened XD Oh well, at least it's a good cosplay
By this time I bet jacob is just busy with mom duties. Without much issues, hopefully.
How are you guys? What's new?
I'm during my first non-profit proofreading job and I love it
Still have to finish my course and get the certificate. But I'm happy I'm already in practice. Praying for good feedback and more jobs, preferably paid, lol. I need to afford that dog I want to get. No stable income - no doggo. I'm responsible

Yeah, I do that a lot - start with one color scheme and move on to something different xD
I hope she's doing okay.
Proofreading? You mean make sure there's no mistakes 8u?
I could never do that kind of job.
I mistype and misread stuff all the time xD
I was at the dentist for like 2 hours.
He said I need all my teeth pulled and get dentures.
I was like....UH. I'm not getting all my teeth pulled >_>
I got like 4 teeth bothering me and he's like "We'll extract them all \8u/"
I mean, all my teeth are pretty much fucked but I'm not worried about the ones that don't hurt me.
I'm keeping those as long as I can.
Get the fuck out of here with the pulling them all now bullshit >Bu
To his credit, he was nice and he did give me antibiotics.
He also called me "Sweetie" which made me feel nice 8,u

I've read on the forums here and there that other users tend to have the same issue with creating avatars
Yup, making sure there's no mistakes in grammar, punctuation, syntax, style, spelling. Checking if the text is clear meaning-wise, checking the stated facts or at least reminding the author to re-check the sources, catching plot holes, inconsistencies, after-print proofreading, checking DTP errors, last text improvements. All that and much more
Pull all the teeth?!
ALL the teeth?!
WTH, is it really that bad? I can't imagine having to do that, or even be recommended to do it
You're not old after all or anything...
At least he was nice about it...
Last time I went to a dentist she called me a pussy and said I should've come sooner. Well, if dentists weren't judgemental pricks maybe I'd feel better about it

I think I was going with soft ruby and denim for my Christmas avatar and we see how well that went.
That sounds like such a hard job, but it's because I'm thinking of me.
I'm so...unaware of stuff most of the time.
Like I was lucky to catch myself with typing Meme instead of Mem xD
I also tend to put random words in sentences.
Like if I'm talking about candy, I'll hear or think of another word and use that instead.
Yeah, he said all my teeth are fucked. I didn't take care of them most of my life because I didn't love myself. I thought I was garbage and why should garbage be taken care of? I had nearly no self-esteem and wished I was dead or never even born.
I don't feel like that much anymore but the damage has been done xD
What irks me is people being like "I told you so!"
Yeah, I know it's my own fault but I didn't do it because I was lazy or ignorant - I did it because I didn't care about myself.
This one dentist more or less insulted my mom and blamed her for my teeth.
Sooooo we never went back to that one xD

It might be hard for some. but mostly it's just reading stuff very carefully and knowing when and where to find info if something is correct or not. It's not that difficult when you know it's your job and so you focus your full attention.
I think Ash sometimes misspeaks like that. He'll be talking about something being hot, then all of the sudden he calls that thing cold and I'm like "you mean hot, he means hot". I laugh sometimes that he speaks a whole other language and after all theser years I'm fluent in it, so I can translate to other people when he speaks weird XD But I dothe same thing sometimes, although not as often as it happens to him.
Wow, dentists have got the nerve sometimes

I'll be typing "shirt" and type "shit" instead because I type "shit" more than I type "shirt" so my brain is like "She must mean shit \8u/"
I don't know what's wrong with me.
My brain is deteriorating 8u
I used to not be this bad but it's getting worse.
I'm disabled and my mom takes care of me.
BUT it's not her fault I didn't care for my teeth.
It's 100% my fault.
Soooo it pissed me off too that the dentist was blaming her xD
