I'm horrible about asking for help. I'll give and give and give, be in all sorts of pain and fatigue, and still have problems asking for help. But I'm asking for help. If folks can give just a little bit to help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

@sandiegozoo
Husband and I were watching "Bizarre Foods America" where @andrewzimmern visited the zoo, and we were curious about what animal is fed ground flamingo (listed on the label of a container)?

Thank you! ❤

@LsfarmLw @kalistacat That got rid of the JWs at our old place. They like to drop by here during the day while he's working, so he hasn't been around to use that tactic again.

Let's just call it "Therapy through TV".

And now I'm going to try to find some trashy, mindless reality TV that can let me zone. I'm #tired.

Caught up on #NewAmsterdam (haven't watched it since the winter finale, so binged on the new episodes) and I always need a box of Kleenex!

When Iggy was talking in "therapy" with Martin about not being enough if he wasn't helping others, I started sobbing.

(And I can also relate to Iggy's emotional eating. In addition to my box of Kleenex, I've got a box of girl scout cookies next to me.)

The show can be hard to watch, but there's also a catharsis in recognizing harmful thought processes and working through it.

@HopeInstilled Thank you! 💜

Pushing it before the holidays means major flare after the holidays.

But... I'm painting again, trying to work through my feelings around a lot of stuff.

@JeffCoSheriff You all quickly became a household favorite here with your professionalism and honesty, and we would love to see you continue on LivePD.

@SageNatural I've been pushing it too hard lately... and so I'm still in bed, trying to work up the energy to think about lunch.

[Tiff @CelticSpoonie]

@deannamarsh751 You wand your team quickly became one of our favorites on Live PD, and we'll miss you. Stay safe out there! Merry Christmas. ❤

I've discovered something about not being able to work due to #chronicillness.

I still push myself to do way too much.

With the holiday season upon us, I participate in an annual wreath workshop that's put on by the county Master Gardener program. (It's really awesome.)

I have to stop this and breathe before I end up hospitalized.

@Katamac1967 @JosephFalzone3 @headdock I'm glad I'm not the only one! I've had docs look at me like I'm crazy when I've mentioned the "constipation" side effect makes me more normal. Seriously, of all my meds, the opiate is the med that I deal with the least side effects and a huge benefit.
