The Absolutely Massive Kidney Stone I passed yesterday

A let's say... interesting thing to witness come out of your body.

Edit to address some FAQs:

I am okay. Honestly I was only in severe pain one day.

Yes it hurt. Mostly when it was moving from the kidney to the bladder

I hydrate well at a minimum of 64 oz of water per day.

I had a full metabolic work up after my first kidney stone and the best the urologist could tell me was it's stress related.

I used a strainer, I didn't reach into the toilet.

Dimensions are roughly 15mm x 5 mm x 4.5mm at the thickest region.

Sign at clothing store adjacent to ice cream

Cinnamon Toast Crunch soft serve, I feel like this would be me in my peak capitalism mood with this in my hand so to put a barrier to your establishment I feel will only hurt you in the long run, I didn't even wanna go in, not my department, but the sentiment still stands, then again how many spilled ice creams until that sign got put up

Electrical outlet sticker at the airport

Someone decided to stick an image of an electrical outlet on the wall at the airport. Looking at the wear spots, it appears many people fell for it.

Apparently this is how we clean the bathroom.

Friday night gf says I’m gonna go clean the bathroom. This is where we’re at, the vent fan never properly vented the room so it would mold. She decided to clean the mold and scrape the peeling paint. It kind of spiraled. Vent fan is relocated and vents correctly. She says I hate the basin sink, let’s get a new vanity. Also I don’t like the trim let’s redo that.
Yes it’s gonna get a new window at some point too.

i, a slugging enthusiast, finished my aquaphor after a decade of use

i finally finished this aquaphor after (probably) a decade of using it!! now i got a new one, it’s crazy to think about how long this next one will last me. although, now i am an avid slugger, it won't last as long most likely….

for those who don't know slugging is, after you do your skincare, you douse your face in aquaphor before you go to sleep and wake up extra moisturized. its fire. epic even. as a dry-skin mf, this keeps me moisturized all day long!! :D
