This is Sexy? Halloween Costumes, Part 2


This is a cat costume. Yes, I know.



I know that I said I would save the various ethnically insulting costumes for later, but seriously... Look at this.

Strange Sexy Halloween Costumes

No, this isn't CF related at all. But it is getting near Halloween, and if you wanted to go as something strange/offensive, yet also sexy, yandy has a deal for you! I'll probably spend a couple of days just going over their weird Halloween costumes. Because seriously... these are weird. I also wish there was space for all the various Native American costumes they have going on. I might just do a link dump of those at the end, and the rest of the exotically sexualized cultures.



What on earth is that? It is a sexy panda costume. '
Panda Bear Corset and Skirt
Sku: PA700
You'll charm the bamboo out of them in this fun and sexy panda bear corset and skirt set. Juniors sizing, runs small. '.

Honestly, your guess is as good as mine. There's also a sexy polar bear and a sexy fox. And a skunk and a bee... and lots of other animals.



Sexy strait jacket. Because nothing says sexy like mental illness! Charmingly, this is called "Anita Straightjacket".

'No amount of medication can keep her from going crazy over you." Kill me now.



This is actually the second sexy clownfish costume on the same page. I had trouble choosing between the two.

More coming tomorrow!

Dating and Cystic Fibrosis

I think the relationship between relationships and having cystic fibrosis is a curious one. You'll meet people who care very much, but in a negative sense. You'll meet people who don't care at all. And then, on rare occasions, you meet someone who cares for all the right reasons.

Between not caring at all, and caring in the negative sense, I think not caring at all is the worst crime. When someone is negative, they respond right away, and you know they're not worth it. Someone not caring is slow and more insidious. You start thinking "Well, this is okay", but it slowly devolves to the point where their sheer callousness gets to you.

I'm musing on relationships because I had a date last night. Maybe I'll save that for another entry though.

The Wonderful World of Antibiotics

Antibiotics are really not a new thing to any person with cystic fibrosis. This is, however, the first time I've had to take them twice in one year, which is somewhat alarming. I spent all summer working out and toning my body up to make my lung function rise, and when it fell a few percentage points, I was concerned. I agreed to go on Zyvox and Cipro. I'm not quite sure if they've worked, and I still have a day left. I do know what they do to my body though. I've been tired, dragging my feet and napping a few hours a day. My appetite is definitely down, but I haven't had enough energy to work out, so I'm not sure if I've lost weight or gained.

The food restrictions are the worst, I think. No chocolate. Or dairy. Or coffee. Or bananas. I've been dying here bro. DYING.

Remind me that this is all worth it.
