Updated About Me

Monday, July 10th, 2023

My Intro📣

Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had quite a bit of energy and I finally let my boyfriend convince me to go rock-climbing. I’ll admit… I had so much fun. But boy am I sore and surely not feeling great the last couple of days. I figure I can build endurance though, and that’ll be fun.

Well, I figured since it’s been I think over a year since I did an ‘About Me’ post, I might as well do another one.

I know, I know, I usually do a banner image. But, this one just felt too up close and personal for that lol. Forgive me this one time please!

Who is Me?

Well, that picture is of me. My name is Ashlynn. As you can tell, I have pink ends in my hair. I actually did that myself… in case you wanted to know! I’m a Capricorn, and a pretty basic one. I love learning, writing, reading, structure, office supplies, paperback books, you name it.

I also love music. Playing it? I play the violin, guitar, and piano for the most part. Listening, of course I’m a Swiftie. Taylor Swift is simply the best. If you’re looking for a male artist though, check out Noah Kahan!

My favorite color is yellow, and my favorite flower is an easter lily! I like the show House, I also like to watch anime. Movies aren’t really my thing but one I enjoyed lately was ‘Instant Family’.

As far as video games, I play Stardew Valley (if you don’t know what that is omfg please check it out, it’s basically a cross between Minecraft and Animal Crossing).

Medium

I’ve been on Medium for quite a while at this point. I started a few years ago, was not consistent. Then about a year ago I really jumped into this.

Unfortunately my health got in the way and I went dormant on this account for a bit. But, now I’m back after learning some management. I’ve never been happier to be here.

My Sweet Boyfriend

Alec has been here for A LOT these last 9 months (length of our relationship, I’m not pregnant). He’s seen the ups and downs of not only my mental health, but my physical health.

He’s stuck around during days that I cannot get out of bed, picking up the slack in places I can’t. He’s drug me out of the house to do activities when I don’t have the motivation to do it for myself.

Hell, this man took me to Taylor Swift. What more could I ask for???

My Fur Babies

Top Left is my sweet David. I actually ended up finding her in Florida. I didn’t know she was a girl, nor did I know she was pregnant. But, the name just stuck. She’s chunky now, she could stand to lose a few pounds. But she’s super playful, especially when the other cats are napping. She had five kittens, I ended up making sure they got to age, got them checked, and found them homes.

Top right is Alec’s dog Mars, though Mars is always laying on my side of the bed. So whose dog is it really, Alec? Mars absolutely loves to be outside. Whether it’s going on a hike or simply just laying on the hot concrete, he loves it!!! He also likes when its cold out though. He is freaking terrified of thunder though, he will HOP into your lap so fast.

Bottom left is Salem. She has the softest temperament. She gets afraid easily, but she’s such a sweet girl who loves to cuddle next to your belly while you sleep. She was one of the kittens that I found abandoned in a car where the engine would have been. Her and her siblings were so extremely infested with fleas and they were heavily underweight.

Bottom right is the little princess we call Smokey. She is the youngest, and definitely the sassiest. She likes to be up in your business at all times. She frequently sits on peoples’ shoulders while they are trying to use the toilet at my house. Embarrassing, really.

My Health🩺

I put this one last because I don’t like the idea of my medical problems defining me as a person. But, I figured I talk about it enough; I should put it in this post.

Basically, my doctors don’t exactly know what is wrong with me yet. But, after a LONG TIME they finally concluded that it did have to do with my heart.

I currently have a tentative diagnosis of POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I actually just finished up with my heart monitor about three weeks(?) ago. Which was really exciting getting it off because it meant I can go to the pool again.

Management has been difficult as there’s not much research on POTS. I’m currently on a beta-blocker, as well as a high-sodium diet. I have to drink a fuck load of gatorade. Cut out caffeine completely (which I’m very very proud to say that I did). As well as exercise, I’ve been doing a routine consistently for the last three (+/-) weeks.

I’m feeling better than I have in awhile, but that doesn’t mean I feel good. I literally went on a walk outside, A WALK, and my heart rate jumped up to about 165. I had to sit my GROWN ASS on the pavement. Do you know embarrassing that is?

Anywho it’s progress.

My Outro👋

Here’s one more small fact about me… I LOVE BEES!🐝 I have a tattoo of one. I wear my earrings and necklace set that’s just simple, gold bees. I have a ring that has a bee on it. My water bottle and car have a bajillion bee stickers. I have a book about bees. I have flipflops that have bees on them. I just love everything about bees… but I’m allergic.

Thank you guys for reading to the end and getting to know a little bit more about me! Have a great day.
