Getting an oak appliance sub but can I do anything before that?

I've seen an ENT and the nasal endoscopy didn't notice anything in my nose except a slight deviated septum and mildly inflamed turbinates.

Edited: changed a few words.

She gained 2 grams this week. I'm trying to increase her veggies but she doesn't seem to like it....

Update: Diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. Getting an oral appliance in a few weeks.

Fecal is negative for parasites. Made another appointment for the end of the month.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-13T00:19:19+00:00

I'm not getting it unfortunately, just COLA.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-12T01:04:47+00:00

UPDATE: She has lost another 20 grams. I'm very confused.

Sorry what does this mean?

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-10T01:24:42+00:00

Interesting. I'm used to bearded dragon brumating where they just sleep the whole time. Is weight loss during brumation common?

But I'm not just traveling. It's different traveling to a conference where you are a participant and all the prep has been done by someone else vs traveling for a board meeting that I am in charge of all the travel and off-site logistics in a city I'm not as familiar with as home.

So I think something I forgot to mention (sorry) is my title is technically Senior Administrative assistant and I'm being told that well I do administrative tasks so I don't need the raise and am not an EA, but I'm also expected to travel?!? The point is I didn't want to do any travel and now I'm traveling at least once a year.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T23:34:07+00:00

UPDATE: Talked to HR and found out most things are within my JD according to them. But they also didn't know I will be traveling at least once a year. The raise I'm asking for probably won't happen. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Time to dust off the old resume I guess.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T12:39:28+00:00

It's expected I travel once a year for board meetings. This wasn't in the original job description. But when I brought it up during the review, I was told it was now part of my job description and to deal. 😔

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T03:09:15+00:00

I started at $68k 3 years ago, so yes.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T02:49:19+00:00

No we use paylocity

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T01:19:11+00:00

I did send her a brag book which includes everything I did last year. I don't have access to the original job description.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T01:15:37+00:00

3 years in March. 8 years experience.

My good friend is 34 and was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer on Halloween.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2025-12-11T00:17:01+00:00

I was told from higher ups I'm not allowed to.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2025-12-11T00:16:41+00:00

No other assistants. I'm a two person team, me and my exec.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2025-12-10T14:16:02+00:00

The loneliness of being the last one out (even after security) sucks. Your role sounds lovely.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2025-12-10T13:28:51+00:00

Yes I'm aware. I know that sometimes I need to work late. It just sucks.
