Pep talk time for myself:

Now is the time. There is no better time than now to focus on yourself. Your goals. Your life. Get you shit together and attack every day like you mean it.

Make yourself some fun charts ✨️ to habituate studying practices. Stress relief. Healthy activity.

Get locked in to healthy study habits. Yes, it is hard. Yes, you have alot on your plate. But you can learn anything, especially if you focus.

Summer bodies are made in the winter. You could be 150 pounds and smoking hot next summer.

The question is- will you? Are you going to lock the fuck in and stop making excuses?

Stop making excuses to eat extra? Get more protein in? Get your miles in?

What do you want?

How bad do you want it?

YOU are the deciding factor in your life.

You. Your will. Your drive.

Be INDOMITABLE.

Now is the perfect time.

Cut the shit and get to business.

SPOILERS (probably?)

My whole biggest plot about my Generation AU: MonsterVerse Edition is that having a biggest wedding for Godzilla and Mothra is superbly a HUGE challenge for me to write.

Plus, the fact about how many guests are invited, food and decorations (I suggest having a 2 5-tiered vanilla and chocolate cake, y'know that's my weakness), hiring a mastered DJ (oh wow), etc. AAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDD the ENTIRE Gojira clan and Mosura clan will be there (each of their family members must hold their matriarchs down because they dislike each other all due to their past ancestors LOL).

I could clearly see my mental image about after the wedding reception is held and throwing a bouquet to the bridesmaids, Godzilla taking Mothra on a speedboat (Kong, Rodan, Ghidorah, and some others are getting splashed by the speedboat's engines and salt water) while driving to the ocean to an island where their honeymoon was set.

Oh, and the humans are there too (I chose Madison as the Maid of Honor haha).

P.S. I'm super busy right now on university and I was stressed too much is because of numerous activities and a meeting held there, and I nearly got myself blown away because of how expensive our payment was per activities. I participating myself as a PAINTER for my upcoming program this last week of September, and also a CHORALE!!! Can you imagien that?! I have 2 talents: an artist and a singer!

Oh, and one more thing: considering this as a promise that I am drawing Human!Godzilla in a wedding tuxedo since you guys reacted my Human!Mothra's wedding dress. Because of that, you are all in for their wedding!!!

Hey! Get a camera up your butt! IT’S GOOD FOR YOU

One of my personal quests is to get everybody to get colonoscopies.

A colonoscopy has an insanely high benefit-to-inconvenience ratio. It’s not just diagnostic, it’s preventative. If they find polyps (which are basically little fleshy growths in your colon), they remove them with a quick little snip snip right there during the exam. Polyps can become cancerous if left in there, so this is actually preventing you from getting colon cancer, which is the FOURTH most common type of cancer after breast, lung and prostate. 

It can also find actual cancer present, but if you’re getting regular exams, they’ll find it early, and treatment is very effective and often pretty easy. My dad had a lil bit of colon cancer but they literally just snipped it out, no radiation or chemo needed, and he’s good to go. If he hadn’t gotten a colonoscopy, he’d probably be dead right now, or he’d have had to go through much more radical treatments.

A regular colonoscopy is one of the most powerful tools in our medical arsenal to prevent a serious illness.

BUT LORI, ISN’T THIS UNCOMFORTABLE, IT’S LITERALLY A CAMERA UP YOUR BUTT.

Yes. Yes, it is. But you won’t care because you’ll be OUT COLD. They knock you out for a colonscopy with a quick-acting and quick-recovery sedative. I am talking about this right now because I had this procedure TODAY. My appointment was at 1030. I think they actually wheeled me into the scoping room at around 1100, and I walked out of the clinic just before noon. I woke up from the sedation and was totally alert within ten minutes. Had a nice lil nap.

Most gastroenterologists recommend now beginning colonoscopies starting at age 45, and getting one every 5 years, or more often depending on the results. But if you have family history, your PCP could refer you for one much earlier. I know a guy who started getting them at 25 because his uncle died of colon cancer, and based on the degree of polyp growth the doctors estimated they started forming in his late teens.

BUT LORI I HEAR THE PREPARATION IS NO FUN.

You’re...not wrong. But it’s really just annoying.

Naturally, to scope your colon, it has to be free of...the substance that usually fills it. So you have to do bowel prep for this. Bowel prep is something you have to do for a variety of procedures but they’re pretty severe about it for this because if your colon isn’t clear they literally can’t see anything, so.

It involves at least 24 hours of no solid food (broth and jello (except red jello) is allowed) and having to drink a prep solution. There are various kinds of these the time frame required is different. My prep was a 4 liter (yes, four LITERS) of a polyethylene glycol salt solution. It’s basically (puts chemistry hat on) a deliquescent solution that pulls water from your body into your intestines which is like turning on a firehose in there. Osmosis FTW. Liquidation sale, everything must go. Don’t go more than twenty feet from a toilet. Lay in some baby wipes. You also have to hydrate like a maniac because you’re shedding water much more than usual and you’ll shrivel up like a mummy if you don’t aggressively hydrate. The solution tastes...not great. I mix Crystal Light into it and it’s better. Mixing in a can of LaCroix was also helpful.

Not all preps are like this. Every clinic has their preferred method. I don’t ask questions. I do what I’m told. Then it’s nothing by mouth at all for 2 hours pre-procedure.

Honestly? The weirdest part is afterwards when you can eat again, and your whole guts have to kind of...fill back up. SO MUCH rumbling and noisemaking and squeaking.

The fun part? My clinic gave me a prinout of various photos of the inside of my colon, all squeaky clean like it hardly ever is. I might frame them.

The take home lesson here is that a colonscopy is super important, can save your life, isn’t uncomfortable at all, and you get to look at the inside of your guts. Win all around.

mimi do you have a high pain tolerance bc im thinking of getting a helix or an eyebrow piercing and i need to know if your ouch levels are the same as mine.

i once fell down the stairs and went to my class as if nothing happened... does that answer your question or? i was a bit of a hazardous child growing up so my ouchie levels are kinda high... 😔

i don't know much about eyebrow piercings but i got my helix when i was 14 (i had an emo phase no i will not elaborate) xD the pain of getting it is bearable trust me, and that's coming from someone who's ear cartilage is hard as hell. once the needle is in, it's basically nothing. what's hard tho is the healing process 😔 mine fully healed at 16-17 ._. depends on the person tho!! but yup it's a bit of a commitment (at least mine was... i did it for the concept, for the girls gays and theys jk)

GET IT DONE WORRY LATER
