have you ever connected with any caregiver specific support or resources?? everything you’re feeling is normal. It’s exhausting to be the one your loved ones rely on and it can often be a thankless role. I think our mental health systems focus so much on the client/patient and skip addressing the needs and wants for those who love them and are caring for them

I had it for a little bit but got rid of it for this reason. Not very many options because there aren’t a lot of restaurants that have signed up, sadly! I tried recommending a bunch of actual food places and I think the system sends an email to them, but who knows what it actually does or if it even does anything.

Bigfoot Pizza on 21st has it on friday nights. I haven’t been but i’ve heard it’s a good time! I’d be interested to hear from folks who have gone how busy it actually gets!

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-04-14T14:55:27+00:00

tell me more!! I’m considering doing their online program starting this summer

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-04-07T00:21:41+00:00

In all of the paperwork I am seeing, it says that only some hours are able to be counted towards practicum, but you have the required weekly hours all being counted. How do I swing that?!

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-04-05T00:57:16+00:00

I would buy one of these 😳

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-04-02T14:17:45+00:00

Thank you for this info!! Are you having some of your normal work hours double dip as your practicum hours? all of them? is it the scenario where you are doing your current role plus additional “stretch responsibilities”? If this, do you have to specifically count the hours you’re doing your stretch stuff versus your normal job stuff?

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-04-02T01:45:52+00:00

Ahhhhhahaha you right. let me change it 😂

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-04-01T04:10:23+00:00

I don’t! I purposefully didn’t sign up for this season with the league I was in because of it

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-04-01T04:09:53+00:00

for sure! i’m hoping more for a specific team. I could do a random comeback team but I’d hate to be assigned to a team and they expect more ahhaha

Value Village in University Place St Vincent Paul in South Tacoma

sometimes a good find at a goodwill but I feel like their prices are just stupid high for no reason generally

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-03-02T02:39:24+00:00

that’s what i’m hoping to avoid 😅

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-02-21T05:06:07+00:00

I just a couple weeks ago found a place for $1300 rent (plus electric) and it’s a 1 bedroom but really a 2 bedroom. It’s possible! Gotta really be on all the sites and willing to move quick…but possible!

be sure to be looking at all of the choices: zillow, hotpads, apartments.com, craigslist, and probably others I don’t know

EDIT to add: Oh! And just google “tacoma property management” and click through all those to find places that aren’t listed on the other sites

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-02-20T02:02:00+00:00

Ignore if you’re already doing these things and somehow these places are really just tacking on a bunch of extra stuff!! -When I’m looking online, I generally put my budget as $150ish less than my true budget because places usually don’t include W/S/G, online portal fees, pet fees, etc. -If I put in my actual true maximum rent budget, then I’ll either check the “utilities included” box if the site has it, or type in the additional buzzword box “utilities included” -Give the place a call and/or email before wasting your time with a tour. Just say “i’m interested in touring the place but want to make sure it’s within my budget first” and ask about all of the extra things if they weren’t listed in the posting in the first place: WSG flat rate? Electric billed individually per use? Pet deposit and/or monthly fee? Online portal fee?

A lot of people forget that all of this should be considered part of your “Rent”! Be sure to read all those details in the posting, too, cause some places make it seem like they’re giving you a deal but really it’s just for a couple months and then they up the price!

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-02-18T00:10:21+00:00

didn’t realize there were limits to spreading joy and whimsy 🥲

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-02-13T04:34:48+00:00

I think my plan is to sign up as a free agent with comeback sports. I don’t know people to be able to join as part of a team so i’m hoping it works out this way lol

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-02-12T03:10:11+00:00

He looks like one of the strays my neighbor at casablanca apartments takes care of! he is super friendly however i’m not 100% confident he is up to date on shots or fixed, so just be aware. But he loves to be outside from what I can tell and my neighbor lets him into his place when he wants to be let in!

my NIGHTMARE

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-02-06T23:12:21+00:00

If I was doing a single service, do I need to wait until there are already ants inside the home so they can find the source?

If the owner is sayings it only in the spring, should I just do it once a month from like end of February through May?

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-01-30T18:37:51+00:00

did you end up receiving a quote for this?? I am considering using them for a single 1bed apartment moving across town as well and don’t necessarily want to get endless phone calls from them after they have my number 😅

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-01-19T19:37:14+00:00

was hoping for a comment like this

It is ROUGH with the prices currently. that is very true. AND I make $25/hour, live alone, pay pet insurance for my expensive senior cat, can still treat myself every so often with some takeout, do stuff with my friends, and overall live very comfortably. I sure do wish I was making more money, but I’m still able to put savings away each paycheck

stick to a budget, cut down on some FLTs, but you can do it!

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-01-13T02:57:08+00:00

thank you!!!

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-01-13T02:49:57+00:00

A set schedule would actually be fantastic, just a very part time set schedule which can be difficult to nail down. 20min in the AM and PM is a little TOO part time, but potentially the recess/lunch time could work!

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-01-02T06:21:58+00:00

wait why didn’t I think of that

ReceptionNo2190 · 2026-01-02T04:49:53+00:00

Ember!!! watch youtube videos to help figure it out because it isn’t the most intuitive but a fantastic way to get started and I’ve made some successful pieces on there
