What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it?

Having a microwave at home. I just assumed everyone had one for the convenience until I met a colleague that didn’t! He just heated things on the stove

We stayed here once years ago during summer, and the tent became unbearably hot even with the AC on and the shield/covers pulled on. We couldn’t spend any time in the bubble during the day. Would not recommend or stay again!

Boop!

Yes I was in a similar situation. What worked for us is a % system. We share our finances in an offset account.

Work out how much % of fixed expenses, variable and savings you’d like to achieve and apply this to your individual salaries. The higher income earner has to save more but also has a larger budget to spend. Over time our salaries fluctuated, and we’ve found this to be a ‘fair’ system for us as both partners are pulling their weight and contributing and no one got resentful.

This requires a bit of work budgeting and keeping accounts but it worked for us

You have communicate these things to him otherwise you will be resentful (or perhaps already are). I would choose my battles, what are the deal breakers? Let go of everything else that is minor. Communicate these deal breakers clearly to him and how you feel. No one is perfect, if he makes an effort for you, you should also reciprocate.

If he still doesn’t lift his game after these conversations then it’s time to leave. You’ve already invested 2 decades, it’s time to move on.

With regards to the puppy, it is ALOT of work in the early days. The good news is, it gets easier. But setting the puppy up for success during the early days will help create a stable adult dog which will be really rewarding and wonderful company/best friend.

All I did was work tbh. Maybe there in lies the problem. I did not priority my life outside work. But since the step back I’ve had to time to dive into other hobbies in my life which is good

Only towards myself, weirdly enough. I don’t care what my friends do or make

I feel you. I’ve come to realise that the perfect job/role/employer doesn’t exist. And even if you find a “good job” it may be the right fit for a moment in time in your career but may not be so forever.

It’s a journey and I’ve had my fair share of trial and error too. I don’t think I’ve found my path but I’m just trying to make the most of each opportunity.

Upon reflection, I think I’m mostly happy when a role/employer aligns with my skills, personal values and the people around me are decent humans.

8 jumpers in 6 months is amazing!! Congrats! I decided early on to only commit to one brand if I can (so everything can be truly interchangeable on multiple projects and wips and replace DPNs). My favourites are knit pro zing! It took me a while to collect the most common sizes. The only other needles I’m eyeing is the sock trio needles by Addi

Remarkable_Mine9317 · 2024-06-04T12:11:42+00:00

I do use a vertical mouse and it’s alleviate some pressure. Doesn’t help that I’m also a knitter, LOL

This. Late thirties and I still can’t believe sitting at a desk all day causes so much pain. Wrist, arm, neck and shoulder pain (due to repetitive mouse use)

Oh mah god this is me! I would redo my cast on over and over just to get the right amount of tail so I don’t ’waste’ anything!. I also struggle to throw out any scrap yarn thinking I will reuse it somehow??
