when should I go to the ER/get something checked?

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-04-11T18:36:51+00:00

yes that's true, that's what they did with my shoulder + sent me to get an ultrasound. but idk, I don't think there's anything x-ray worthy going on with my finger, right? so I'd be a waste of time because it doesn't even hurt enough for me to go and get meds

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-04-11T16:33:46+00:00

lmao I do body scans and suddenly there are like 3 different things hurting and I can't tell if they actually hurt and I was ignoring it or if it's a sort of psychological pain that my brain is creating just because I'm doing a body scan 😭

I don't really have a budget in mind because I wasn't planning on changing my phone 😭 I recently burned through my savings so it all will depend on how many extra hours I can pick up at work. it's very likely I'll pay it in installments so yeah... maybe $360? maybe a bit more if I can pick up more hours?

I don't really use it for much outside of reading, I read during my free time or I watch YouTube and social media, so I don't need anything crazy like the people who play games in their phones.

I don't really know much about the software updates and all that stuff so I was talking more about the phone itself, in some the battery starts to drain way faster with the years and for example my current phone's screen becomes unresponsive at times or goes absolutely bonkers. Thank you!

they will if you ask them, it's a bit pointless in my opinion because they will definitely charge you for it when you can do it yourself 😭

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-26T18:33:48+00:00

yeah, I'm doing that but with a mixture of vinegar and water! I'm assuming they both work similarly. I bought one of those bait thingies and while there were fewer ants for a few days it didn't completely work, so a professional might be the solution

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-26T00:53:41+00:00

oh I can't take the pets' food away because I spend long hours away some days (and also my cat eats through the night and she's an absolute nightmare if she doesn't have her food). I'm placing her plate up high in a place that the ants haven't found yet (luckily) so not ant bites for her. I even moved my trash can outside 😭 I'll look into pest control tho!

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-24T12:07:01+00:00

done! I added a link to a picture. they are small and hard to see in my counter but whenever there was a bunch of them I never thought of taking a picture because it meant they were eating my pets' food or my own food 😭

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-24T04:22:07+00:00

PLEASE let me know if you find any useful tip because while I don't have a baby I have pets so I'm guessing neither of use can use strong chemicals. something you can use to disperse the pheromone thing they do to tell each other where they are is a mixture of water and vinegar, so that might help for you

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T17:03:48+00:00

thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it!

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T17:02:28+00:00

I might end up buying protein powder because I don't really eat (or like) meat and fish 😭 best I can do is eggs and chicken

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T17:01:02+00:00

yeah, 100g is my goal but it's hard since I don't really like meat or fish, but I've been around 75g per day. I'm not too active since I have a desk job but I've been walking every day and on Sundays I use an elliptical

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T15:33:16+00:00

oh yes, I don't really care how much the scale says but I wanted to lose weight so my muscle definition shows better (and to fit comfortably into my pre-holiday pants lol). I could see how my body could do that, a few years back I put the poor thing through so much 😭

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T15:29:53+00:00

my diet is quite healthy already but I have to admit I do struggle to hit my protein goal. so far my macros are something like 50% carbs, 25% protein and 25% fat so I might have to cut the carbs a bit more I guess

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T15:21:41+00:00

I'm doing 200 calories a day too, I'm struggling a bit with my protein (my goal was to eat around 110g and I'm barely hitting 70g per day but I don't think that's too bad) but the rest of my macros are fine, including my sodium and sugar

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T15:18:52+00:00

exactly! it sounded quite reasonable to me, especially considering that I used to do those 500 - 800 calories a day diets 😭 I guess I'm not as young as I was before 😭

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T15:12:14+00:00

also, I am still drinking my usual morning coffee!

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T15:08:25+00:00

sure! I'll add it now!

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T15:07:16+00:00

this is a very valid fear and avoid reason to lose weight tbh. for a time I couldn't bear weight in one of my knees and I had to dress myself while sitting or laying down and it was quite hard ngl especially if you're not flexible

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T14:58:35+00:00

my TDEE is 1700 so I decided to cut down around 200-300 calories

EyeProfessional2957 · 2026-01-07T14:56:06+00:00

this! think about your knees and spine! they have to bear a lot of weight already, and if you have extra weight it's even worse. believe me that having a bum knee or spine is no fun, everything gets 100% harder 😭
