Today is my birthday 🥳

Starbucks for breakfast

I ended up going to Starbucks this morning for breakfast and got a free iced coffee and an apple croissant 🥐

Birthday gifts from my friend in Montana

These are the gifts that my friend sent me for my birthday!

I don’t have any plans to do anything today but relax and catch up on my shows I missed during the week. Since my brother’s birthday was last month, I think my family will have a dual celebration at a later date.

Life update

I wanted to make a quick blog post to let everyone know that I had to have surgery on Wednesday. I was originally scheduled for a partial hysterectomy but once they started the operation they found out that I had endometriosis and removed my ovaries as well.

I was able to go home the same day as my surgery and have been resting and taking it easy since then. I haven’t had any major problems except for some shoulder pain from the trapped gas from the surgery. Which has been great since I haven’t needed to take any of the pain medication that I was prescribed.

I will be off work until August 5th and go back to my doctor at the end of August for my 6 week follow up appointment. At which point we will discuss treatment options as needed for any hot flashes or other symptoms of menopause.

Happy Color x Mental Health America collaboration

Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, the happy color app has collaborated with Mental Health America to help raise money and awareness. I just wanted to share a couple of the coloring pages that I recently completed. 😁
