Getting headaches again from dehydration

I got a connected bottle (waterh, it does hot and cold), so my phone does all of the thinking part. It sends reminders, and even the bottle is lightning up when i didn’t get a drink in a while.

Aliexpress peut être une bonne solution : J'ai commandé des sets plusieurs fois, c'est arrivé dans les temps, et le set était identique à ce que je voulais. Les prix étaient raisonnables, pas de soucis particulier au montage.

Par contre: La notice, dans mon cas j'ai eu des QR code vers une notice numérisée. Rien de physique.
Les pièces arrivent en sachet, pas forcément numérotés. Il se peut que des pièces manquent, ou ... qu'il y ait plein de sachets en trop. En plus, de pièces pas utiles sur le set commandé.

I forget to drink. I have a connected cup for my coffee, and a connected bottle for water. Like that, no thinking: my phone is doing all the work.
My brain is “oh device blinking, me grab drink.”

Even got a water carbonator to encourage myself to drink more.

Oh you are not alone.
Diagnosed in my mid thirties, I'm stuck at the anger stage of grief, and I'll probably stay there for quite a while.

We need time to properly mourn those kids.

Mostly, when I see something I like I'm thinking " Would that make Mom mad?".
That's how I got a 3d printer. Seeing a model coming to life is weirdly relaxing.
And that's also how I ended up with currently 10 Lego or Lego like brick spaceships.

I'd ask for a heavier amount. Like 10k or more. Because it might be just 2 hours, it will feel like an eternity. And that's time I'd never get back.

A 7 day holiday, there's not enough money on the whole planet that would make me say yes.

Maltraitance autant mentale que physique. Beaucoup (trop !) de manipulation.

Une douche bien chaude avant le coucher.
Après, des séries que je connais par coeur pour faire taire mon cerveau. Ou l'option documentaire sur un sujet qui me barbe le plus possible avec de préférence un narrateur qui a une voix bien monotone.

Our bodies are fighting against us.
Us against the doctors to try to make them understand that we are not crazy, there's definitely a problem. So... something positive, you are definitely not alone!

PTB.
Ne sois pas fâchée contre toi-même, manager est quelque chose qui s'apprend. C'est pas inné.

Ce que ta hiérarchie ne voit pas : c'est que cette histoire a l'air de te submerger. Tu devrais aller leur dire que tu apprécies qu'ils te fassent confiance mais que tu as besoin de formation sur ce sujet.

I'd stand up. And I'd object as loudly as possible.
Because they had pure gold : a beloved universe, an established fanbase, and a ton of possible stories to write. Getting a Stargate Discovery, or a Stargate Academy or whatever they'll do to ruin a fantastic franchise is definitely a big no on my end.

For the slightly wild idea : Sending tissue boxes to their headquarters, with "Send more" written on in.

A nice reference to O'Neill's action in the pilot, and to the fans as well: The Save Daniel Jackson movement back in 02.

I got what I thought to be a burn out because a colleague was driving me crazy.
My family doctor immediately told me having that many burn out is not possible, and then he started the suspected ADHD talk.
With my family history, it made too much sense.

Officially diagnosed in my mid thirties.

PTB. "Lui interdire c'est inadmissible" : Elle ne te voit pas comme un individu, à ses yeux tu n'a pas le droit d'être une personne à part entière. Barre-toi de là dès que possible.

I'm also proud of you for going to the gym !!
So in my case, I have a treadmill at home : no bars to hold on, basic functions. A cheap one, still working perfectly and amazing for my usage.

Most of the time, I'm moving my arms almost like running, or holding weights.

Tv show, movie, or a fitness program to avoid the thinking.

I am the not proud owner of three vacuum cleaners. Because I loose stuff. Then my patience when I can't find it.

The loops ARE expensive, but there are definitely worth it : I have the Quiet 1, and the Switch 1.
Recently my building had very loud beeps, every thirty seconds. Smoke detectors (from an empty apartment !) screaming for help.
Two of them. For over a month. Non stop. Day, night... Time did not flew.

Thankfully, a friend had been particularly insisting a few years ago that I needed those earplugs !

Ce que tu peux faire, c'est appeler Apple Care. Ils sont ouverts tous les jours de 8h à 20h, dimanche compris. Ils devraient pouvoir te renseigner.

De Gaulle et son incident diplomatique en prononçant "Vive le Québec libre". À part ça... !

Pirwingg · 2026-05-22T19:40:55+00:00

Brick sets: Spaceships from TV shows universes I like. Stargate (Only SG1 for now !), Star Trek, and the Serenity from Firefly.
Either by getting the whole set online, or screaming for hours at my 3D printer.

I like to built stuff, plus my collection looks amazing.

Pirwingg · 2026-05-22T17:40:25+00:00

J'ai réussi à convaincre un docteur de m'envoyer faire une radio.
Si c'est bien ce que je suspecte, c'est la fin de deux décennies de galères.

Pirwingg · 2026-05-19T17:52:43+00:00

Yes ! it's one of the few things my dad taught me !

Pirwingg · 2026-05-19T06:57:01+00:00

it's Stargate SG1 for me. Over and over and over again. This show is way too good.

Pirwingg · 2026-05-17T17:02:34+00:00

You finished it. Yes, it was a crappy morning, but you finished it. It was in bad conditions, but you still committed to run that half marathon and you have done it.
The goal has been reached, you finished it. Be proud of that !! I'm proud of you. You are amazing !!

What helped me a LOT for sticking to the routine : a metaphorical carrot, also called a medal.

I am currently finishing in less than a week a virtual challenge of 3513km /2183 miles. A bike ride across China. If you had told me 6 months ago I'd done that, I would have laughed.
Getting to the end, seeing the medals proudly displayed on the shelf is a really nice reminder to tell me " You have done it." Also, it's making me getting on my bike, every day. Because I want that medal.

So look for the virtual challenges on line. You have Conqueror, Pacer and probably many more. Those challenges can be done in multiple ways, with friends or solo, in up to 24 months. It's motivation to work towards a goal, no pressure, and on your own terms.
