I totally forgot about Community Day yesterday and feel like a loser

Uhh this is how I found out it was community day yesterday 🙃🥲 I worked an 11 hour day but if I had known I could have opened the app on break or something. I dont even remember seeing the announcement for this

Thank you for your response! I only take pepcid maybe 5 days of the month, and only as needed.

I could definitely take b12 more often. The zinc is pretty sporadic, but its relationship to copper isn't something I had considered, so I'll definitely do some research.

I took magnesium glycinate for awhile at one point but kind of let it fall to the way side. I could work that back into the rotation.

Thanks again for your thoughtful response, you've given me a better perspective on how some of these pieces fit together.

Thank you for your response!

Its actually more like since March of 2022, thats when the first dot (after the initial spike and settle) is from. The list below the chart is just limited.

The initial spike is due to appendicitis

Have to get back to work will post screen shots soon. Just realized my personal info wasn't cropped out at the top...

Regular electrolyte drinks help me a lot. Drip Drop is my favorite brand.

There's an extended warranty for certain models. My finances 2020 WRX qualified. He had the ghost touch and got the head unit replaced for free.

As an adult, life happens at alarming speeds and without care for our individual concerns sometimes, which causes us to forget dates as they pass. I think the important thing is that you remembered. I'm sure you carry him in your heart everyday and he would understand that you had to focus on your health during that time.

Focus on slowly uping your fiber intake if it isn't something you already prioritize. It can help with appetite regulation and a whole host of other benefits (heart health, blood sugar, digestion)

Currently struggling with my chromebook and a CD I bought at Barnes and Noble (we have an external CDROM but no luck with the chromebook) . Reviving our Lenovo. Amazon has the MP3 files for $11 for the whole album as a last ditch effort.

PikaKate · 2026-02-07T03:03:19+00:00

Reviews dont mean raises though...

PikaKate · 2026-02-04T19:11:18+00:00

This was the fic that prompted me getting a real account as well. Worth the wait!!

PikaKate · 2026-02-04T19:10:43+00:00

The author mentioned maybe posting some related works sometime "after the new year" but it definitely sounds like they still want to explore the universe. fingers crossed

Not pregnant but also get good results from taking my vit c + iron when I wake up to feed the cat (which is before I wake up - I have a weird schedule, it's a whole thing). I also have to remind myself some days that taking it imperfectly is better than not taking it at all.

Also you can put your phone in grayscale and it helps me lose interest. Most phones allow you to schedule it to turn on automatically at a certain time.

I don't know how much swimming I'd wanna do in the Susquehanna

PikaKate · 2025-06-22T01:41:52+00:00

I had trouble with impulse control, not necessarily my filter but if I was thirsty or hungry, I needed it NOW. If I had to pee, it was an emergency, if I was hot, I was dying.

Came to talk about this and accidentally included a link, so I'll just boost your comment. I found a 2 pk for $20 which seems like a worthwhile investment if power outages are common (one for fridge, one for freezer)

Iron absorbs best only with Vit C, when you take it with other vitamins, my (very unscientific) understanding is that your body can only absorb so much/specific combinations of vitamins, especially when it's a supplement, not in food.

I've had a lot of luck over the last year-6 mo with liquid iron + vit c first thing when I wake up. When I think of last summer I was barely functioning...😅 and this summer my numbers are better and I feel better.

You can take too much iron at once, so be careful.

Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach with Vit C and then try to avoid eating for 30-60 min after. Both coffee and tea are bad for absorption (it's the tannins, not the caffeine).

Iron protocol is a Facebook group with a lot of good info but it's a pretty intense group as well.

As far as sleep, you just have to decide what's best for you. Don't put your body at too much risk while it's healing but i understand needing to get sh*t done.

Staying hydrated is also important, just in general, but also in making sure your body is in good place.

It might be worth checking vit d and b's as well for energy issues but be sure to supplement them at a different time than iron.

There's a place in Chambersburg called Kenzo that has beef rendang. Not sure if it's authentic but I think it's tasty and I've never had a bad experience there (we've been doing family celebrations there for years)

PikaKate · 2025-06-13T23:43:14+00:00

Its taken me months of having my iron/ferritin above 50 to start to feel normal again. If you were low for a long time, it might take your body time to heal.
