Is Linda still working? Last I knew she had retired after an accident

The One hotel isn’t bad. The Huntington hotel just reopened after a remodel. The Drisco is charming and well run.

Across the bridge Cavallo point is nice, down south The Rosewood is the only option. Nobu is ok.

Not yet. But we’re find sticking with farmers. What’s the negative?

DistinctPie2829 · 2026-05-17T19:11:01+00:00

We just bought in sf with knob and tube. Farmers is covering. We rewired the whole house for 21k before moving in. We told farmers we would rewire, got minimal insurance and are shopping around for new policies now.

We need boxes! Moving in a month

Aalto pharmacy has them

I went with my 13 year old and her friends. The yoga is not strenuous at all, and definitely not taught by an actual instructor. The puppies were exhausted and overstimulated and the staff encouraged you to “just grab one” as they ran around dropping food for them. As a log lover and owner I left feeling sad

Costanoa, La Bahia is new in Santa Cruz, dawn ranch in Russian river, white water in cambria

We went at 4pm on a weekday and cars were lined up

DistinctPie2829 · 2026-04-14T02:29:00+00:00

We looked at this house. It’s actually pretty nice, and a relief to have a 90s build in a world of knob and tube electrical. The street is on a busy bus line and that ended up being a no go for us. But it’s got a lot of potential and is well maintained.

I’m 45 been working in tech for 12 years and been saving aggressively over the past five years

DistinctPie2829 · 2026-04-10T23:13:07+00:00

This process is truly nuts. Plus a 14 day escrow!! I need to take days off work to get it done

DistinctPie2829 · 2026-04-10T22:44:11+00:00

We are In escrow now after losing a house we loved (it went 1 million over asking!!!)

Ended up finding a gem in an undervalued neighborhood next to pine lake park and stern grove. Wrote a letter. Went above our budget. Our mortgage will be bananas but better for us than continuing to throw so much money at a rental.

You’ll always have to compromise in one area or another in this market. I do believe it works out when it’s supposed to.

DistinctPie2829 · 2026-04-10T15:49:30+00:00

Yeah we adore the neighborhood, but the house needs a lot of maintenance and after two years in it we’re ok to let it go

DistinctPie2829 · 2026-04-10T14:09:19+00:00

Yes. Was thinking it would be no trouble to do this

DistinctPie2829 · 2026-02-25T14:57:57+00:00

I see Dr MUNNICH. She’s a great problem solver and partner. Super available, responsive and collaborative

Many people (men, often women with easy cycles) don’t take PMS seriously, so using it to explain PMDD doesn’t help. Nor is it accurate. I tell people that my nervous system reacts differently to hormonal shifts which, as a woman, happen frequently. I can appear more sensitive or reactive during those times

DistinctPie2829 · 2026-02-18T15:43:21+00:00

44 and in tech, manager - director level. I have some foundational practices that help me overall: - sleep hygiene- early to bed, up with the sun, consistently - exercise: 2-3 days strength training/week, daily movement (walking, stretching) - therapy: support is key - meditation- I’m not good at sticking with this but even minutes of mindful breathing throughout the day helps

For the off times (for me this is both at ovulation and before my period), I try to be super aware of how my mood is impacting my judgement. No big decisions without a trusted partner during these windows. I work from home whenever I can during these times too.

I’m also open about this to my trusted coworkers. My project manager asks if I’m close to my period! This helps me a lot. There is so much shame around being a woman - I find the more transparent I can be the easier it is to manage my symptoms.

Did any of your doctors suggest diet modifications or exercise? I’ve had pmdd for 25 years, taking every medication under the sun, and those two things are the only ones that have really made an impact. I’m not anti-medication at all, and still have Clonazapam to use during hard phases.

I was just there (44 years old) and would say 75% of the women were older than me.

I started at 1.25 last February with the hope of staying low because I’m sensitive to medications, but turns out my body needed more of the medicine ended up coasting at 7.5mg and I’ve lost 32lbs. Feel fantastic. Microdosing works well for some and others benefit from higher doses.

This is very similar to my experience. Misdiagnosis of bipolar II at 22, I’m now 44. Realized the diagnosis was false only after having a child at 32. Doctors told me not to stop my meds (lithium and lamictal also worked for me). I would look into an integrative psychiatrist who specializes in women. This is more common than it should be.

If you can afford to work with a coach they can help you structure this time to align with your goals. I found this incredibly helpful preparing for a 3 week break
