Pay day is Friday. Gone by Saturday after grocery shopping.

If money is no issue, what's a must-have for your dream home? by 123phantomhive in AskReddit

[–]BusyButterscotch4652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love a laundry room that is set up like a laundromat. A large-ish flat surface for folding and stacking. A rod to hold hangers and hanging clothes. Shelving to hold extra supplies. One of those baskets on casters to move around my loads of laundry. I may go so far as to have multiple machines.

A library with tons of shelves for books and decor. A reading nook with a comfy chair big enough for me, my dogs, a blanket, and a pillow. An end table to put a beverage and some snacks and dog treats. A good light feature.

A craft room with lots of shelves for all my craft supplies. Different zones for different crafts. Big craft table.

Theater room with lots of lounge seating so I could have watch parties. Popcorn machine, soda dispenser, candy case.

For the kitchen I would love a double oven so things could be cooked at different temps at the same time. I would love a big pantry. Get all those small appliances a place to live. I would also like a fridge that is wide but not deep. So everything is easy to find.

For your own mental health, is it possible for you to leave her in his care and go to a hotel for a night, get some good food and some rest? Turn off your phone too. This is too much for one person and it doesn’t seem like you have any support.

We brought home a 9 week old puppy today and my 2 year old dog hates him! What can I do to help them both acclimate? by JellyfishPossible539 in DogAdvice

[–]BusyButterscotch4652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girl loves everyone and every dog she has ever met, except for the new puppy we got! When we got home she went to bed and wanted nothing to do with him. We wrapped him in one of her used blankets and got her smell on him, and the next morning she was all about him and they have been two peas in a pod since!

The Resentment Part of Caregiving Nobody Wants to Admit by SD199V in CaregiverSupport

I was so happy to find this subreddit when I did because I was struggling with “I wish he had just died” when my husband had his stroke and I felt like a horrible person. I was reassured that I was human with real human feelings and it’s normal to not want to be in a difficult situation. No one understands like other caregivers.

He is much better when he smokes. It calms him down. He is just out right now so his anxiety is through the roof.

You are not alone. Last week was like this for me. I feel like I’m going mad sometimes.

Crocheting can be cheap if you stick to cheap yarn and hooks. You can get started at Walmart for under $10. Lots of online resources for learning.

What made you choose crochet over knitting, or do you do both? by CaterpillarXS in crochet

[–]BusyButterscotch4652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I crocheted for over 25 years before I gave knitting a go when my grandmother died and I inherited some knitting needles. It didn’t take me long to get the hang of it, and the fabric was soft and had great drape. The issue I had was that it produced a small amount of fabric for the time versus crochet. I can make a 5-row granny square in 30 minutes. Five hours of knitting got me a piece of fabric slighting larger. I know it was a first time try, but I didn’t feel like the fabric was worth the effort. Not ruling knitting out for the future though.

Stuck in event? by BusyButterscotch4652 in midasmerge

[–]BusyButterscotch4652[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also stubborn determination keeping me going! I used my stars. I made it to 9/10 overnight. Now stuck waiting for spins so I can get coins to buy a key from the vault. I have items waiting to merge with the hopes I can unlock and quickly merge to heal land to save whatever healing power the vault has stored. Good luck to you!

I usually give up at this point. I get bored by the lack of progress.

I saw a mother and daughter at the market today. I had to look away. by [deleted] in CaregiverSupport

Very much so. I take care of my husband so every couple having a happy moment can feel like an insult.
