1. Had an unexpected laugh at the pharmacy today when I thumped my MiraLAX on the counter and the cashier instantly understood everything from the look on my face.

2. We both laughed, which made the whole “prep supply run” feel a little less dreadful.

3. Still debating which beverage I’m willing to ruin forever after two gallons of this stuff… but at least I’m going into it with some humor.

EDIT: the nurse I talked to yesterday was incorrect - she said 64 ounces was a gallon, but it’s not - it’s 1/2 a gallon. I only need to drink a gallon total of the wretched prep. In my state of panic and horror when talking to her, I didn’t calculate that in my head at the time.

Amazingly, that does make it sound a lot easier for me. Not EASY but EASIER and I’ll take that.

Det är svårt att inte respektera folk som håller det så här äkta.

What does it mean to be authentic?

Open Mentions asked, What does it mean to be authentic?

There is always a temptation to polish things a little. To present a slightly glammed-up version of reality. Maybe even to present things as you wish they were rather than how they really are.

Social media makes this temptation so much stronger. Everyone else is living their best life but you, it seems.

That’s why simple honesty – not hiding the lumps and bumps of life – is so appealing. An authentic person, in this context, gives you the unvarnished truth. They share the failings as well as their success. That’s attractive to people.

They say when you write, all you have to do is open a vein and bleed. I’d say that is true of many facets of life. When I hear talk of authentic people, that brave honesty is what I think of.

What about you?
