The Porcelain Vampire

I am featured in the Vampire Fragments for July! I was able to get only one blog post out last month because of dealing with family issues, but I did it! I'm so happy to be back writing again this month. You can visit Vampire Fragments here: http://www.vampirefragments.com/news_2019-07.php

Pregnancy and porphyria.      Porcelain did indeed move back home. She was grieving, but she also had a baby on the way. She had to take care of herself. She'd always been very strong, but hormones are hell during pregnancy. She was so very lucky to have her sister with her at her mother's house. Having that family bond was the best feeling in the world.      Then the cravings began. It didn't help that Porcelain had heartburn almost her entire pregnancy, but developed anemia more often as well. She all but wanted to down a pint of blood! Beef steak was a must in her house, as well as ginger tea and herbal motion sickness pills. Her doctor had her try those pregnancy vitamins, but after one dose, she never took another. The iron content gave her a wretched migraine, making her throw up even more.      Doctors appointments were draining, literally.

Hello everyone! All is well in Facebook land... now that is. Facebook has created this new thing, if you have a page that has the 'potential of reaching high numbers' you are now required to have 2 factor authentication when you publish to your page. But that's not all! They also demand complete access to your phone's location at all times to authenticate where you are from. Sorry, but I detest privacy invasion and I don't use Facebook on my phone. I only have Facebook messenger on my phone with very little permissions. So, I've decided to make an update group instead! This is a closed group, meaning you have to request to join. It is for updates, and other tidbits I decide to share. Chatting is allowed and I'm hoping to make this a wonderful community!
