I have some weird shuffling going on with lactation herbs and what not... Shatavari ran out, but I just restarted milk thistle which I know to work for me quite nicely, so I'm gonna try what happens when I switch one to another. Moringa might run out too in two days but I should get a parcel from iHerb soon that my girlfriend ordered, it has some stuff for me and some for her. She got amazing discount on it so was totally worth the order.
Also the Elvie pump cups with 24mm flange are getting way too tight and I'm having heavy blistering on BOTH nipples at the same time. I have been either busy or tired for the last week so much less hours on the pump, I don't think it has much to do with this, unless my nipples have gone a bit smaller, just enough to get blistered again. Left is absolutely rough looking, it healed already once but got blisters again right after. Its a good sign of them growing as this only happens at a certain point where they almost totally fill the flange... So very peculiar point. Also one more of the tube attachments once again broke out of nowhere. Luckily I had one more lying around and switched it over. Its obvious by now that this particular piece is horrible engineering or manufacturing, they're so fragile its crazy especially on quite pricey cups which are otherwise fnatastic.
I'm supposed to get the Spectra cups by thursday and I'm excited to try as they're rated so good. Also getting to upgrade to 28mm is exciting, I have no idea what to expect other than its likely a similar jump as previous time. I hope I can heal the blisters before I get the new cups. Healing them isn't difficult, I've noted now that cleanliness is imperative, not a tiniest infection since I've paid special attention on keeping everything clean and having a lot of braless time.
I got something really nice yesterday, new piercings on my ears, now I have three per side and I love it. They're already healing, no swelling and there's a lot of itch going on. The lady who made them was super nice, friend of my girlfriend from ages ago... She was very professional and quick with it and I think I found a new friend. She's an artist of all trades, piercings, tattoos, photography, paintings and what ever else. Really cool chick and now I know who to ask if I ever want more piercings or even some ink. And she's super good with makeup, gf asked if she could help out next summer to do a total makeover for me and take some good quality pictures. She agreed and seemed to be excited about the idea. Its so awesome, last time I had pro pics taken was my thrash metal bands promo pics five years ago and nothing since.
I kinda feel that having new piercings and being able to play with earrings will give me a little nice confidence boost. I'm planning for more selfcare too, soon I'll be booking the surgery obviously, then I want to get my hair done... In a way I hadn't had for a long time. Oh and now I got really awesome stuff to make nails. I did a practicerun on my gf and it turned out amazingly good, the best result I've ever done in my life. Black topped with magnetic chameleon colour, looks like northern lights or starry sky, it came out amazing. I'm waiting to grow my nails out a bit so I can do the same for myself. I need practice, fiance already agreed to let me do her nails also. ^_^
I hope all this works out... I really need some positive things to happen, I want to heal and this seems like a way to it.
