How To Make Your Doctor Listen To You
When healthcare is mentioned in conversations, I think one of the most frequent complaints is our doctors don’t listen. Sure they hear us, but most of the time they aren’t listening. And the distinct difference between the two is about a mile. Sometimes, it feels like Wonderland, and you’re a trumpet flower, trying to tell Alice where to go in quite simple Wonderlandian, but she’s just so contrary!

The Process Getting a PCOS Diagnosis. Content Warning.
I am sure I speak for about 98% of women who have been confirmed diagnosed by doctors of PCOS that getting that damn diagnosis was a struggle that rivals stopping the apocalypse. And I am sure 100% of women who have a hormonal imbalance that causes weight gain have been basically told by the doctor to “just lose weight.”

PCOS = Painful Cramps On Steroids. Content Warning.
S.A Crawford wrote a vulnerable and revealing piece on her recent diagnosis of PCOS (otherwise known as, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). And the outreach of women who were all echoing the same sentiment that I did had me sitting with my eyes wide, and heart hurting. But also really proud of all the brave women who are willing to share their stories and the pains they endured to comfort Crawford and let her know she wasn't alone.

Thought Dumping?
So. I have a weird thing that's happened. Today, I was re-reading some articles I've written in the last couple days, and some comments (actually only one in particular that I wrote today) and I have realized, that I have typed things I don't recall consciously thinking.

How To Create A Dog Walking/Pet Sitter Business
Some things will always be in demand. Pet care is one of them. Pets are very rarely considered just an animals to people who have them. Most often, people cherish them - most often referring to their pets as their fur-children. I am one of those people - at 4 dogs and 17 cats (before anyone starts on me - only 3 of the cats are indoor, and the female ones are fixed, and about 70% of them are rescues).

So Much Ambition - So Little Success Volume 1
I have so many thoughts in my head, and I guess just sometimes I just need to empty them out. So today I am going to bless you all with the random jumblings of money-making dreams I wish I could do. Some of these things I just don't know how to get my foot in the door and some of them stupid things are holding me back, like money.
