Where screens dominate our daily lives, and prioritizing eye care in Elmhurst, New York has become more crucial than ever. Prolonged screen time often leads to digital eye strain, causing discomfort and potential long-term vision issues.

note to our body. we are not being hunted for sport. thank you

ok but with the pup's weight crushing his lumbar vertebras, compressing his intestines, stretching his abdominal muscles past their limit viktor must be having like near constant aches and pains and spasms and cramps and first contractions might not even register as really different so how long will it take him to realize he's finally gone into labour?

I could have sworn I rambled about something similar to this before but I can't seem to find it. Oh well.

Oh yeah Viktor is not at all comfortable during the late stages of the pregnancy and I think he's definitively one to experience Braxton Hicks / false contractions. There's also moments where he's not sure if the baby is just kicking in a really unlucky for him way or if that's just his spine protesting the extra weight on it.

The thing is though he is also being very heavily monitored through his pregnancy, especially in the late stages of it because of the concerns about his general health, the risk of an early labor, and him giving birth without medical assistance. So he is probably being examined daily just to make sure everything is still going okay, whether he's in labor or not, and whether they need to induce because his body has reached it's limit. So while I think he would miss the early signs of it from his perspective he just goes in for the daily (now monotimous) check over that he fully expects to go back to the work he's still doing after, only to be told that he's being admitted and that he should get in touch with his partner because baby's coming today. Which, while in the moment is a bit surprising because he doesn't feel any different (yet), they've also been talking about the possibility of him going into labor any day now for weeks.

Autism is so funny. I usually start work at 3. Today I start at 1. I am a nervous unregulated wreck about it. Girl it's a 2 hour difference??? At the same place I've worked for 8 months. The only difference is that I'm working 2 hours earlier/not closing, and there might be one or two people from the overlapping morning shift for the first hour or so of my shift (after that it'll be the people I work with every day).

glad to see you posting a bit more again! hope you're feeling well + having a good spooky season. what are you doing for Halloween?

Thank you! Without getting into too many grody details, I have some lovely doctors who've helped me get a drug regimen that has my symptoms way down. So while I still have Your Digestion Is Completely Fucked, Seriously Your Shit-For-Brains Intestines Can't Do Anything Right To The Point Where It Fucked Up Your Brain (the official diagnosis) it's waaaay more under control than it was a few months ago.

And thank you to everyone who messaged me support. When I say that on multiple occasions you all made me cry actual tears while curled up on the floor of the bathroom, I do mean it in a good way.

It’s 2025, and the only non-soda options in this hospital vending machine are water and red and blue Gatorade. That is it. 🫠

Gonna be so proud of myself soon when my projects are done 💪💘 The prospect inspired me enough today to take my time and listen to my current needs and desires. Find out which require attention, what exactly I need to water, and then practically figure how to meet those wants. Talking about paving the road for the ways that'll make me blossom best this springtime around

It's such an awfully simple thing, but one we owe ourselves every year to do. I'm thinking of the things this weekend I wanna do that'll unlock the best, kindest, coolest version of myself. Get the spark back, fall in love with my own soul and energy

[elviraaxen]

Gotta be honest I have not beeeeeeeeen super super good at taking care of myself and for some reason a lot of things have Come Up (like medical stuff) and because my mind is very monotropic I can only handle so many curve balls before I go insane and I'm about to actually rip my hair out bc if I get one more notice from my doctor telling me I need to go to an appointment to check something unrelated to the other six things that are going on I'm going to FUCKING lose it so just . Excuse me while I crash out a bit before I resume to my usual self.
