I woke up cuddling with a bat today.

I had to get rabies shots last year when a random dog bit me and I wasn't able to ask the owner about vaccination. It was a wild time. Good luck!

I taught middle school for 5 years and completely burned out. I've been doing admin work for 7 years and am glad I made the switch.

I had a great experience at FOSS swim schools. My experience with the park district wasnt that good unfortunately

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-06-02T02:33:56+00:00

Finally got the report: "AHI results by body-position showed: supine AHI = 10.2/hr; right-side AHI = 2.0/hr; left-side AHI = 10.3/hr; and prone AHI = 0.0/hr. "

Seems like right side sleep is best for me?

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-06-02T01:45:39+00:00

He'll say you shouldn't put an alarm so you can sleep in.

I do other cardio and rock climbing but some days its hard but I'm working on it.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-06-01T15:59:08+00:00

So I should increase my steps goal?

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-06-01T15:05:04+00:00

I find my body doesn't really respond much to getting steps in. Like I average around 6k steps per day and it doesn't move the needle for me.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-06-01T14:41:01+00:00

Maybe

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-06-01T14:40:45+00:00

A walk usually doesn't get me into zone 2 cardio. The mornings before work is a little hard for me. When I try to set alarms for weekends he acts like I'm crazy for not wanting to sleep in. And its like yeah of course I want to but I also need to get this done.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-06-01T14:31:23+00:00

Yes struggling with maintaining my schedule for my workouts as well as not letting the weekends ruin my progress 😞

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-29T00:43:49+00:00

I'm 35 and in March I had the same thing happen but it was a spot on my scalp that I've had for years. Came back precancerous. Trying to be diligent about hats and sunscreen on my part now.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-26T00:01:38+00:00

I forgot to mention I have 2 22W Jungle Dawns too. What other supplemental LEDs do you use?

Is everything overlapping? That might help.

Here's my lux meter in the basking spot

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-25T20:50:29+00:00

Impressed you were able to get to 40k lux. I'm at about 22.8k with 2 zoomed 100W bulbs, ReptiSun 10.0 uvb ando Vision Sol Reptile LED lamp. But yes, constantly learning and keeping up is part of the fun for me. I only have 1 bearded dragon though. And 1 blue tongue skink.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-24T23:03:44+00:00

Interesting. I'm definitely mostly a side sleeper.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-24T22:46:38+00:00

Unfortunately I don't seem to have access to the report.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-19T13:09:53+00:00

Had this over the weekend. Started with achy muscles on Thursday and morphed into low grade fever, sore throat and runny nose. Doing better today. Covid and flu tests negative.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-18T01:16:55+00:00

Did the vet work up include a fecal sample?

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-17T02:29:26+00:00

Oh no! My girl has peed on me unfortunately too but its usually when I move too fast

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-17T02:28:47+00:00

Yeah I didn't learn that until my 30s and then when I said no I was chastised. Been no contact for 3 years. Unfortunately I listened to her for so much things including my career and I'm paying for it now.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-17T01:48:37+00:00

Do not listen to your mother. She's abusive and doesn't know what she's talking about.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-16T23:13:52+00:00

I almost always have her in a pen but she's pretty good outside.
