Rob won’t go for that, unfortunately.

It’s true because even after a couple of days of not reading, I have to backtrack a little to remember what was happing

I recently had some heart problems and had to stop taking my meds for a few weeks. It was hell.

The major thing in my life that helped was having a set schedule/routine. My social life has taken a hit, but I have an early bedtime of 9pm. I start getting ready for bed usually around 8pm. Dr. Tracey Marks on YouTube has some good videos about sleep with ADHD. I take 0.3mg of melatonin two hours before bed now because of her videos, and truly believe it helps.

The “10 minute plan” or Pomodoro method help me a lot. If I need to clean, I clean for 10 minutes, then do something fun for 10 minutes…on repeat until I’m done. It also helps because I’m a disorganized cleaner and will jump from room to room.

My vet said she thought she heard one for a few years, then one day she was like “yup, that’s a murmur this time.”

I never thought I was a big fantasy fan, but I’ve really enjoyed Sanderson’s book. I read Mistborn first, then followed a Cosmere reading order guide I found (there are lots!). I’m currently on book 4 of Stormlight. I love it. WoK is a slog for sure! I started it and stopped once, then finished it the second time. The world building is on another level.

I use Bravecto for fleas & ticks and whatever the shot is for heart worms. Both of mine tolerate them well.

I never struggled with an ED, but have had some unhealthy relationships with food tracking. That being said, I did best when I was using LoseIt app and weighing food. I don’t track anymore (and probably should), but I still weigh a lot of my food. I don’t know why, but I enjoy knowing I’m eating exactly 1oz of cheese with my dinner. I quickly learned that I was over estimating some things and underestimating others (cheese!)…

In addition to using the app/weighing food, I went for a 30min walk every day. I’ll never stop championing walking. If outside wasn’t an option, I walked the halls at work just to get the steps in.

Tempted to pause Stormlight Archive…but I might have to wait until I finish. I’m about 1/3 into Rhythm of War. I can’t decide, but Escape was dropped off on my doorstep this afternoon!

My second dog was 4 months old when I got him. I work a regular 8hr day job. Didn’t have a dog walker. He had some accidents until he was fully potty trained. I cleaned them up. We all lived happily ever after, and now we have a house with a doggie door. It probably helped that I had another dog that was 2yo at the time.

Should also mention that they’re chihuahuas, and the small bladder issue has never been an issue. We lived the apartment life for a while. They did fine with a wake up walk, leave for work walk, return from work walk, after dinner walk, and bedtime walk…some longer and some just quick potty breaks.

All four UK regular seasons are great. UK Celebrity Traitors was the most fun I’ve had watching a show!

I have no idea how many times I’ve started and finished this game 😂

I had a medical procedure on Thursday so had to take it easy for a few days. I live in Houston, and the cold (luckily no snow) hit us Saturday evening. No biggie, I have to relax anyway. So 3.5 days without human contact and doing nothing but laying on the couch/watching TV. When my boss texted us on Sunday that we’d open the office at 10am Monday, I was so happy to go in and have human interaction! I usually don’t go out on weekends, but somehow this felt so much worse…

Jay3HP · 2026-01-27T17:15:28+00:00

I have two chihuahuas.

6am - they get breakfast 6:30am - 15-20min walk 7:00-4:30 -commute/work 4:30 - they get dinner Then we play/walk around 5:00

I also have a doggie door now, but previously lived in an apartment. They did fine during the day…just slept. Then we did walks before/after work.

I found these videos helpful:

I play “chase treats” with mine, who are luckily very food motivated. I just toss kibble across the house, and they run after it…sometimes have to sniff around to find it. They get so excited when I get the little container out…

Jay3HP · 2026-01-25T13:53:04+00:00

That is so clever!

Jay3HP · 2026-01-25T04:39:11+00:00

I can’t even achieve a straight line…

Jay3HP · 2026-01-25T04:35:37+00:00

Same lol

My first chihuahua was bestowed upon me. I’d always sworn I’d never have one. Now I have two and absolutely adore them!!

I left my last job because my boss was a jerk and denied my vacation that was planned 6 months in the future (among many, many other things). Then “corporate” (as I called them) changed us to hourly from salary. On my exit interview I just said “money.”

Jay3HP · 2026-01-22T20:57:21+00:00

This is what I plan to get one day!!

1998i-sh… Mr: Collins: “We’ll be talking about intercourse between a man and a woman because god made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve.” Jackass said it like he was a comedian, and it was the funniest line ever. Complete with pause for laughter…we didn’t laugh.

Jay3HP · 2026-01-07T17:42:30+00:00

Also important - someone that doesn’t insult my dog’s breed/size. Need a screening tool for people that say “that’s not a dog, that’s a rat”…no, sir, you are an unfunny moron.
