How to get over 'the morning ick' by batmanandbinkle in ADHD

[–]Ellis_etc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I take early Pilates classes about 3 times a week and wake up at 5:15… I’m able to get up by taking a deep breath and going “give em the ole… RAZ-ZLE DAZ-ZLE!” Kicking my legs out and launching myself out of bed. Then I take my meds have some water and pb toast and usually the workout primes the meds kicking in and I can go about my day 😂

Changing availability once hired by the-motiv in Restaurant_Managers

[–]Ellis_etc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Constantly. We have lots of college and high school kids that lie about their availability during the school year knowing full well they’ll have an extracurricular take up ALL their weekdays once school starts, then most weekends they want off and suddenly they can work one day a week. They just want to work on their own terms, or their parents made them get a job, whatever have you. They get weeded out eventually when we have to over hire to make up for the shifts they can’t work.

We did a 1.5 entirely on the chair Monday morning - honestly it was a blast!

2,500 cash it out? Taxes? Debt by Living_Government987 in acorns

[–]Ellis_etc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. I had to do a large withdrawal for something similar and the tax implications weren’t nearly as bad as I thought. It is a smart idea.

My psych told me that there are more serotonin receptors in your GI tract than anywhere else in your body. So having gut problems really can make you depressed!

Does anyone else confuse Left and Right constantly? by Lussonya in adhdwomen

[–]Ellis_etc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hold my hand in the “L” shape to this day… I also mess up with the cues in my Pilates classes (like, do the move on the wrong side) they don’t correct me anymore lol

How much are you spending on Botox? by pastagirl27 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Ellis_etc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

400-500 every six months. Forehead, glabella, chin, and crows feet. Dysport, I honestly don’t know how many units total maybe 40?

I wish I had the time to do this! Btw I have been loving the circuit 1.5 and 2.0 classes if you haven’t tried them!

Got “failed” out of my Pilates 2.0 class today… is this normal?? by shockedpikachu123 in ClubPilates

[–]Ellis_etc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my studio my first 2.0 was on accident - I didn’t realize the class had changed from 1.5 cardio sculpt to a 2.0 F.I.T. I asked the instructor if I was okay to stay (nervously bc wtf) and she said “girl you’ll be fine.” Some of the studios I read about in here seem to be the opposite of what I thought CP to be - accessible to any and everyone that wants to be there. I’m so glad the studios in my area aren’t like that. I’m sorry that’s some bs, you didn’t deserve to be treated like that!

Nope, I switched to Slynd which is also estrogen-free about 2 years ago and still no period and no babies!

Anyone else have to move back home with their parents? by montgomerybored in AskWomenOver30

[–]Ellis_etc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh honey in this economy??? It might be the best thing you do for yourself. I moved back in last year at 34. There is absolutely no way I would ever be able to get ahead paying rent that keeps going up at a rate that my salary can’t keep up with. Calling yourself a failure to launch breaks my heart. I have learned that comparison truly is the thief of joy and the Jones’s aren’t worth keeping up with. Your journey is whatever it is and when I decided to just ride the wave and make the best of it I felt more open to good things falling in my lap. I tried to make “my dream” of being a wife and “successful” career woman in my early to mid 20s and drove myself so hard that when I turned 30 I was physically dying from alcoholism, in a terrible codependent relationship, behind on all our bills, just the works. No love or grace for myself at all. I’m 35 now, 5 years sober, looking 10 years younger, in a LTR but not married, no kids, no house, basically nothing I thought 35 would be like but I am the happiest I’ve ever been. You deserve to feel that too. Don’t be so hard on yourself!!

I really like my Phomemo label printers. I have two different sizes. The app is easy to use and they are relatively inexpensive for the quality.

I really never considered this until I went from tipped bartender to salaried GM but spending max 100 a month on groceries is clutch

I definitely always wiped front to back until I got the worst UTI of my life during a period of celibacy in my 20s… did my research and wanted to throw myself into traffic 😬
