Hello! As stated in the title, I’m looking for THE cobblestone path for my Fairycore themed village! I’ll probably want to use a few different ones so I’m really open to any that people want to drop! I appreciate any help 🥹

Thank you!!

Anyone around that has apples and pears? I really wanna finish up my orchard 😭

I have all the other fruits and all the veggies! Otherwise I don’t really have much as I’m kinda just starting back playing again and really getting into it 🥺

ACOTAR is going to be the next Twilight 😅

Okay hear me out….

I remember being OBSESSED with Twilight as it was being released. “These books are so good omg!! This story is epic I love them!!”

Looking back… the amount of cringe we all have towards that series is astounding… BUUUTTT…. Let be real… Twilight holds a special place in all our hearts 💞

BWTHHYBL 🥹

I can’t help but wonder if we’re running the same path with ACOTAR 🤣

EDIT: fixed my fat finger on the acronym 🤣

I’ve been doing all the PT the Mayo docs tell me too…

All the stretches three-five times a week… walking or being active for 2-5 hours a day….

I’m supposed to be getting BETTER?!

I’ve also started Lyrica and have titrated up to a 50mg dose at night and a 25mg dose in the morning (which I remember the morning dose ALMOST every day)… and that’s also supposed to help….

I get decent sleep…. It’s mostly good though riddled with nightmares and weird anxiety dreams….

Why is my pain getting WORSE 😭

Ugh I’m just so FRUSTRATED and mad and tired ALL the time 😭😭😭🥺

I hate this.

I have no idea why I did it. I knew better and I shouldn’t have done it….

I’ve been eating GF since January when I got the official diagnosis and besides the occasional accidental exposure I’ve been doing really well!

I have a few other conditions that really drain me… I just got home from a LONG weekend and was exhausted… when my husband suggested fast food I caved….

They offer a GF bun after all….

A few hours later and I’m starting to feel hot and sweaty and a pit in my stomach… lump in my throat like I need to throw up… I don’t know how bad this is going to get but I’m not looking forward to it 😭

You guys 😭 I am so frustrated and overwhelmed and I don’t have anyone to talk to about this 🥺

If you don’t care to read this… I understand but it WILL be a long ride…..

Last August my husbands 78 year old grandmother moved in with us. The main reason was because the rent at her townhome was being raised again and she couldn’t afford it. She is fairly mobile on her own and pretty self sufficient. However, she has HORRENDOUS anxiety and has panic attacks anytime she has to leave the house for something. She REFUSES therapy (even though every doctor she has had has told her she need it) and just demands that they prescribe her anti depressants and anti anxiety meds… of which she has tried them ALL and obviously none of them work alone… she needs therapy but refuses to go because she watches too many crazy TV shows where the therapist has “twisted the minds” of the patients into doing crazy stuff so she has anxiety about that 🙄

It should be noted that her younger sister was just admitted to a memory care until for Dementia…

When she first moved in she was nice. We would run errands together and maybe grab lunch. But during the trips she started trying to give me marriage advice after asking me a TON of questions about my relationship with her grandson… I do not want marriage advice from her she’s been married and divorced EIGHT times. So when I kind of shut her down on that she slowly started to get MEAN…. Like she started making mean comments about my style of clothing, how I wear my hair, how I never wear makeup, what I eat and how I cook. Complaining about how I drive (while simultaneously refusing to ever drive herself anywhere). She made nasty comments OFTEN about how I didn’t have a job (I’m on disability because of my Fibro/CFS and other issues). She always made comments about how I don’t contribute to the household (not true AT ALL… she just knows NOTHING about our finances). She would comment a lot about how I’m “always on the couch”. (I am not. I have a weekly task list that ALWAYS gets done).

Eventually I started shutting her out completely. Ignoring her when she walked around the house. Saying I didn’t want to go anywhere. Not really responding or looking at her when she spoke to me. Things got REALLY bad between my husband and I because he REFUSED to believe me when I told him she was acting like this…. I actually threatened to leave him if he didn’t at least BELIEVE me when I said she was being insanely mean to me, so much so that it was destroying my mental health.

He started paying closer attention and actually caught on to her behavior. He called her out a few times and encouraged me to start calling her out. We both have been doing that now and she’s been a little less mean (MOST of the time, but she still has her moments….)

But now things are getting shitty again. I think this woman is seriously ill. She reminds me a little of my mother who wants to be the center of attention all the time.

She has diabetes. So I’ve had to adjust the menu in the house SEVERAL times to accommodate her because she is NOT taking care of herself and EVERY time she goes for an appointment there are new guidelines she has to follow.

She is also…. Definitely slipping in her memory and she REFUSES to acknowledge it. At most she will say “oh I’m just a little skippy today”.

Half the time she can barely walk around without wobbling or swaying from side to side. She would rather eat snacks she isn’t supposed to have than eat properly planned meals that I keep having to change FOR HER…. (Which she continues to criticize)… She is in the bathroom EVERY hour because she manages her illness SO poorly.

And she is CONSTANTLY doing shit that makes NO sense… today for instance. She goes to wash her dishes, and just starts unloading the dishwasher. She gets almost done and realizes “wait…. Was this run last night?” “No GMA because it wasn’t full what do you mean!!”

She put dirty dishes away because she didn’t take two seconds to just look at them. And the dishwasher was obviously not full and we don’t run it unless it’s full. (Personally I think it’s because she had TONS of her own dishes to do she just didn’t want to wash by hand).

Also. We TOLD her we have laundry we need to do this week because we’re going camping this weekend. We’re going to be gone ALL weekend so she can do her laundry then. I wake up this morning and she has clothes in the wash and her bedsheets piled next to the washer. 😤 I asked her if she remembered our conversation and she said “well you still have tomorrow right?” Not like I don’t have a million other things to pack and get ready.

She also saw a car in the driveway today because my husband carpooled with an old coworker to a work conference. She thought it belonged to a friend of my husbands who we are camping with this weekend and asked where his little dog is at. When I corrected her and explained who’s the vehicle really was she said “oh well ‘husband’ told me that ‘friend’ is coming over so I just figured it was his car”. My husband never said that. She’s mixing our camping trip up with what’s going on today while my husband is gone for a conference.

So she just does little things ALL THE TIME but she’s a little “skippy” and I just cannot handle it anymore 😭 I did NOT sign up for this when I agreed to let this woman live here.

I KNOW that makes me sound like the most heartless person on the planet but I have my OWN crap I’m trying to deal with. She sends me into flares ALL THE TIME because she makes my anxiety get overloaded and makes my depression SO bad when she’s really mean….

Ugh…. If anyone held on this long…. I’m so sorry. I’ll probably delete this later I just needed to vent it out. I’m just so stressed right now and I LITERALLY have no one to talk to. I am truly alone in my life 😭😭😭

Sorry to be a bother 😭
