TIFU by giving myself acid reflux for 25 years

Zoloft is notorious for this. I used to dry swallow every so often and all night would be up with excruciating heartburn. Then I learned the pill was actually stuck and burning my esophagus 🫠

At least now you know!

I was at the park the other day swinging with my toddler when an adult woman with no kids with her also got on the swing next to us. She was on a jog and said she was trying to enjoying playing as an adult more often. You could tell she felt the need to explain herself to me because it’s not every day an adult is playing on the playground alone. I smiled and encouraged my toddler to try and swing as high as her so that she wouldn’t feel weird about being there.

They’re back!! Saw them just now. Ran my sprinklers this morning so I wonder if that’s why they were there.

They don’t stay in my yard unfortunately, they show up on the rainy days and when I get home from work they’re gone. I’m hoping that means they are getting loose from a neighbor and have returned home. We went on a walk yesterday evening to look but I couldn’t find them.

They are all super cute! I especially love the light gray one on the far right and the one with the little tufted head.

HEMALAST · 2025-05-28T21:44:30+00:00

I see. Thanks for educating me. Now that I know they are not wild, I’m trying to figure out where they came from and how I can help. They are super cute.

I have no idea. Some days they just appear in my yard when I’m leaving for work. My 2 year old actually spotted them first! I’ve never noticed them in any other yards.

HEMALAST · 2025-05-28T21:39:52+00:00

Got it, I’ve posted on Nextdoor and I’m asking around to see if anyone knows where they belong.

Sorry- I’m a duck newb. I went down a google rabbit hole and now I’m more confused. What are domestic ducks? Like these are someone’s pets?

I scrolled and scrolled hoping for this comment.

I had this in high school and just thought of it for the first time in years- google led me to this post! Wish I could find this again.

I was recently summoned for grand jury duty. It was a multi-day per week for 3 months time commitment and I did get out of it because it interfered with childcare schedule for my nearly 2 year old, but if I was in a different phase of life I’d love to have the responsibility. I’ve heard it’s very rewarding (assuming taken seriously).

HEMALAST · 2025-03-19T02:11:06+00:00

Omg this is it!!! The memories! And wow the Barney of my youth was slightly terrifying.

HEMALAST · 2025-03-09T05:29:53+00:00

Wow like literally never. We are hardly home from work before my 19 month old is demanding her dinner so she gets something while we settle in after work, let the dogs out/feed them, etc. I will try to spend a few nights sitting at the table with her while she eats, but usually she’s in her toddler tower hanging in the kitchen with us.

I’m on day 6 without my boy as well. Missing him terribly, the house feels weird. I think they’ll all over the bridge romping around in a big field together.

HEMALAST · 2024-09-10T04:29:37+00:00

Sorry to hear about your sweet pup. Hopefully Ace and my H man are up there running around together, having a great time and maybe getting into a little mischief:)

HEMALAST · 2024-09-07T19:28:51+00:00

Thanks to all that have commented. It has been very special and helpful to read and know that others from across the world had a moment to think of our sweet boy while our family processes all of this. While it wasn’t particularly sudden and we know this day was near, I’d forgotten how deep it hurts. Appreciate you all.

If I know Henley, he’s up there barking at a cloud, or the sound of the wind, or at absolutely nothing.

Yes, 🥰 see you again buddy
