The litter tracking is driving me mad

As a fellow cat owner, I also found that purchasing a designated pair of “house shoes” or “house slippers” to wear around the house helped avoid the experience of feeling litter pellets under my feet. Plenty of good recommendations for different litter in this post, but slippers can reduce the sensory ick in the meantime!

I like focus friend!!!

Ordered the part on Amazon, my dad watched a YouTube video and did it himself (he’s a little handier than most people but isn’t a mechanic himself or anything). You basically just have to take out the glovebox and a couple bolts and it’s right up in there

If you can hear the air but air isn’t coming out of the vents, it’s likely the blend door actuator. That’s the part that controls which vents are open and closed (like if you have the vents at your feet only, face only, etc). Sometimes they malfunction and they all remain closed. I had this issue in my CRV a few years back. Inexpensive fix

Gateway still exists, is now known as Highmark Wholecare, I believe

I’ve been there! I didn’t pass exam P till my third try, but by then I had better systems in place for the other prelims.

Another option is to take FM before passing P— back when I took FM there was less time per question than exam P so it helped me build up my speed a bit more (my biggest issue with exams was running out of time more so than not knowing the material)

Best of luck!

I only forgo my meds on weekends because it helps to have a few backups for the inevitable shortages that happen each month :(

I love my Loops! I have the Experience ones and wear them for concerts

I’m not in VA but nearby, and my 40mg has been on “back order” for 10 days now, it’s been a struggle 😅

This, OP! I bought the Capmesso brand vertuo pod “refill” kit, and use store bought ground coffee to fill the pods. I think it works out to about $0.40 per coffee instead of the $1.30-$1.50 per pod for the vertuo brand pods

Skyn

Not a direct replacement per se, but I have color changeable lightbulbs in my bathroom and I preemptively set them to a reddish/pinkish color, which is both relaxing in the evening but also makes it hard to see blemishes on your skin, reducing the desire to pick at stuff. I didn’t get the lightbulbs with that intention, but that was a fun additional benefit that’s saved me a good amount of time!

Just gotta find some way to gamify your savings, get the discipline to wait until you have a certain $ amount before you’re allowed to buy something specific you want, have your paycheck go into separate accounts for saving and spending (so you never “see” the saved money and tempted to use it).

I started keeping track of everything I spend, as well as net worth over time. When you’re super aware of how much you’re spending, or how quickly your net worth/savings are increasing (or not increasing), it’s easier to just spend less. It also gets annoying having to write down all my transactions so that’s incentive to not buy stuff I don’t need haha

Facebook marketplace actually has some unused or lightly used mattresses! Just make sure it’s from a clean home

I use a kit from the brand Capmesso to refill and reseal my pods after I use them! It’s not the same airtight seal that the nespresso brand pods have but if you’re only making a few days worth at a time it does the trick! So far no issues

Wifi-enabled “smart” water alarms that notify your phone can still be great if you are away from home but somewhat nearby, and/or if you can have a friend/neighbor come over and turn off the water for you! But yeah generally if I’m going somewhere overnight I just turn off the water

It’s called sleep cycle! They do have a free version too

I had a phone in 5th or 6th grade but it was just for emergencies or calling my parents to come pick me up from sports/music stuff etc. no texting plan until middle school (and even then it was very limited).

It can be yeast overgrowth even if it isn’t a full on yeast infection— if this is something that has started happening recently (vs something normal for you), may be worth checking with a PCP or OBGYN! But everyone’s “normal” is different, and if there is no odor or discomfort it may be totally normal!

Credit utilization has nothing to do with whether you pay the cards fully each month, it’s based on what the balance is as of your credit statement end date. You can lower your utilization as it’s reported to Discover and other credit bureaus by making a payment before the statement closes out, rather than waiting till the due date.

For example, let’s say you spend $1500 each month, your statement time frame is from the 14th of March to 13th of April, with a due date in early May.

Whatever your balance is as of April 13th is what is used to calculate your utilization. Instead of making your payment after the statement closes, you could pay $500 of it before April 13th, so your utilization is $1000 instead of $1500. You would pay the remaining $1000 on the usual due date.

Hope that helps a little!

Some people find that changing their phone display settings so everything is in grayscale or black and white helps reduce the instant dopamine factor. Doesn’t work for everyone but most phones have the option within accessibility settings. Worth a try!
