“I am the Emily. I speak for the uteruses. I have to cut out my uterus, but it's only to get rid of the adenomyosis that is attacking it. Sometimes these things hit all at once.

“If I can finish everything up, tie up all the loose ends, and in a few days, I can check off the final thing on my to-do list and go into that operation content with how I spent my time feeling good and refreshed because I didn't burn myself out and fulfilled in a way where no matter what happens in the operation, I will feel like I did the best I could.” — Emily, 3 Days Until Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW <<< In This Episode: I’ve noticed the last few episodes have been pretty dreary, depressing, and full of venting.

“When I'm singing, that is when I feel the most free. Not even when I'm on stage, just when I'm singing. I could be singing in the car and I could be belting at the top of my lungs something that I know. Or if I'm in choir and I'm singing something that we've practiced over and over again and I know the parts where we get loud and the parts where the choir director is going to quiet us down. I get to hit all my notes and I nail it. I love it. It's one of those things that takes me out of my body so that the adenomyosis doesn't still affect me.” — Emily, 5 Days Until Uterus Eviction...

In This Episode:

  • We’re reminiscing about college and Finals Week.

  • I’ve been working so hard to get ahead for my clients that I’m wearing an ice glove (Amazon Link) to rest my mouse-clicking hand and wrist.

  • As much as I’m excited about all the work, I know this isn’t sustainable and I wouldn’t be able to work like this full-time.

  • If you were a theater kid like me, you probably also have a love-hate relationship with the week before a performance, otherwise known as Hell Week.

  • In my 20s: “$2 Margaritas! Wooo!” In my 40s: “Let’s play ‘Animal Crossing!’ Wooo!”

  • Thanks for spending this moment with me in this midst of the hustle to get to the finish line of Eviction Day!
