Starting with some TMI, update on kiddo and life in general....

[kseenaa]

Ladies. I don't know if you've experienced this, but...

DO NOT get a zit on your nipple. It hurts like the ever loving fuck.... Almost healed now, but HOLY SHIT!!! NOT an experience I want to have again...

Anyway, apart from that things are pretty good here. :-) I'm mostly proud of what I've accomplished at work this school-term. Last school-term I was behind on pretty much EVERYTHING! But this school-term I'm doing really good, so I'm totally happy with that. I'm feeling more comfortable professionally and I don't feel as down and almost-depressed-or-maybe-I-was as I did the last school-term. So yeah. I'm doing great there!

Alexandra, my dear sweet kiddo, is just... as insane as ever. I think we have a nerd on our hands... X-D

She's going from watching cute things like My Little Pony, Mickey and the Roadster Racers, PJ Masks, Princess Sofie the first, The Liongaurd and all the other stuff on Disney Junior... And all the stuff she watches on Nick Junior...

Now she wants superheroes! It started with her friend that she visited showing her DC Superhero Girls, and she got hooked on that... Now? Now she's watching Young Justice! Some serious complicated stuff for a 5½ year old girl! o.O I'm sure she doesn't got all of it, but she's not afraid of it, and there's some stuff in it I would think would have scared her... And there's no more nightmares than normal, so... I guess she's fine? She'll end up watching horror movies as a teen and scare her poor old mom. X-D

She's still doing riding-school and she's REALLY GOOD at riding horses, apparently. I've put up movie-clips on Instagram, and I have a few RL friends and my brother and mother does as well that are longtime riders and horse-lovers that has informed me of this. :-D So YAY! She loves it and wants to do it FOR EVER AND EVER! Her words. X-D

Also, she starts school in August... o.O Excuse me, wasn't she a baby not that long ago? Geezes...

Next week mom is coming over for the whole weekend. She's coming over to watch Alexandra riding at riding school and then she'll be baby-sitting so me and Peting can go on a little date. Hopefully Star Wars still is in theaters by then so we can watch it, if not we'll do something else, I'm sure. :-)

This turned out to be an update about kiddo... Well, and some TMI. X-D But that's pretty much my life right now, so there's that. In the evenings I watch my favorite YouTube channels and I watch documentaries on Netflix while watching my social media.

I also read books, well I listen to books. And podcasts. I do talk about books in the local radio about... once a month? The main library ask all the other librarians in town if they mind going on the radio doing this, and since I like being on the radio well... :-)

I did it last Thursday and I'd read the book Tjock! which is swedish and means Fat!. It's a book about how it is to be fat in the society today where it's really not... OK to be fat. And especially not to be fat and content with life and your body. I recognized so much in that book, and it was such a fun book I sometimes giggled reading it / listening to it. The writer, Jenny Dahlberg, was awesome! Such a nice book! Totally recommend it! And the talk on radio turned out great to! So that was awesome!

Right. Next time I sit down and post, I'll continue with the Snowflake Challenge. Thank heavens for a challenge with no time-limits. :-D

I had a really bad cystic acne on my inner thigh, and one REALLY bad one on the back of my neck. You have my sympathy!

[kseenaa]

Thank you! It was just really really painful! And showed up right out of nowhere! o.O

[synkkaenkeli]

I'm glad she hasn't gotten sick of riding school yet. I know little kids can be fickle sometimes.

[kseenaa]

Oh, no! If anything it seems as if she loves it more for each time we're there. :-D So, I suspect she'll be a proper horse girl!

[steinsgrrl]

I can't imagine having a pimple on my nipple! O_O

I'm tripping out that Alexandra is fixin to start school! It really does seem like she was just a baby.

[kseenaa]

To say it hurt like FUCK would be an understatment! Said nipple was tender to even the slightest touch! And it showed up right out of nowhere to. Horrible!

Yeah, I know. I can't believe it either. Feels like just yesterday I was leaving the hospital with her.... *shakes head* Time really does fly when you have a kid, doesn't it?

[titacats]

Omgoodness I'm wincing at the thought of the pimple. I've had one on the curve of my lower butt cheek and that was painful but your placement seems worse.

Children grow while you aren't looking. I'm glad she really enjoys the riding lessons.

[kseenaa]

That zit/pimple was just so damn painful. For two days I couldn't stand touching my breast dammit! It just hurt to much! And it just showed up, right out of nowhere!

[gajastar]

When Mally was Alexandra's age, the movie that she asked to watch over and over again was Moulin Rouge. At least 3-4 times a week. At first I was hep to try shutting it off before the end, when it gets all sad, but she was nothing doing on that, either.

She also liked me to read her Poe before bed (Lenore, Annabelle Lee, and The Raven), so I guess I have to claim her as mine. :)

[kseenaa]

Moulin Rouge? Really? Goodness! That's crazy! Well, at least she turned out alright. :-)

Usually she just wants Disney movies or the like. But lately it's just been Superheroes as soon as she finds a TV. And she's recently discovered comics, so we're going through my special collection graphic novel books with Don Rosa's high quality Uncle Scrooge McDuck stories. :-D

[gajastar]

Yep. Moulin Rouge, Invader Zim, and Ghostbusters (but ONLY with the commentary track on). I think she was just starting to get into Mythbusters then, too.

At that age the only comic Mally was really into was Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl, so, uh...yeah. They also animated some of the stories from that and have them online, so she was super into watching those. Kids.

[kseenaa]

That is all kind of cool, I have to admit! :-D Can see the influence... ;-)

I guess I've influenced Alexandra to, since I've always had a love for Disney stuff. :-) I wish the Disney series Gargoyles was still around, because that was COOL!

When you say Ghostbusters, I can't help but be reminded of another series Alexeandra really likes, and that's the cartoon Scooby Doo!!! :-D Hello ghost stories!

[orangerful]

Alexandra sounds like a pretty cool 5 year old! :) Thumbs up to her and clearly your awesome parenting skills haha.

Your poor boob :( Hope everything is zit free from now on LOL

[kseenaa]

My poor boob is not quite OK yet. It's one stubborn zit, for sure! It's not as painful right now though, so I just have to continue with my threatment of salt water until it's fine, I guess. :-P

Alexandra IS pretty cool! A total TV-geek, but she's a horse-girl to, so I guess it's fine still. :-)
