5 Things Thursday: This Week’s Updates

First off, have you seen this week’s Thrifted or Grifted results? If not, go check ‘em out. You may be surprised.

Sometimes, I just can’t help but hit you guys with a round of randomness, and today is one of those days.

Hope you don’t mind too much.

Let’s get to it!

1. In case you’re wondering, our current round of ducks is doing fine, thank you very much.

2. This is what my tree-ring flowerbed looks like right now.

It’s pretty much a hot mess (my husband always shakes his head in dismay when I use that phrase) since I haven’t done a thing to them yet this year, but the wildness of the overflowing white bushy bits paired with the purple tallish flowers really appeals to me somehow. Something English-gardenesque about it that I really like. (Isn’t my super-specific plant terminology impressive? I promise I actually planted them last year with my own hands, but I have zero recollection of their names…clearly).

3. We have a garage door now, and I kind of love it. (Still no house-paint, though).

4. Patterned maxi dresses have been catching my eye lately.

Like this one:

Or this adorable DIY from Lindsay.

Definitely tempted to copycat.

A future Try-it Tuesday, perhaps?

5. Finally, although I’m well aware that internet diagnosing a health condition is super-risky business, I just can’t help myself on this one.

Which means I need your help.

For the last 16 weeks or so, I’ve been having these symptoms—stuff like nausea, acute exhaustion, headaches, ravenous hunger, mood swings, and, most curious of all, swelling in the abdominal region.

I’m just wondering if I should be worried.

Does this sound like something you guys have encountered before?

Just a quick shot to help you get a visual so you can make a more accurate diagnosis.

Thanks a heap ahead of time for any help you can throw my way!
