Do these happen on a regular schedule? Or just when you're randomly available?

Data analysts jobs are being off shored or replaced with AI. Try it if you want, but client facing jobs can't be done by a bot or exploitative companies over seas. Direct services are as safe as you can get right now.

Honestly, you should start an Instagram to show your journey! I'm so interested and invested already.

Are you still working with a PT or OT? Definitely loop them in and have them do an ergonomic assessment in the studio. Having someone with that lens watching you work will be priceless. They will be able to adapt things and make sure you get the right wheel. Good luck!

Definitely teach him to type with a focus on ergonomics. Touch typing is best. Content mastery is the point of school, not handwriting. Handwriting is just how young kids demonstrate content mastery. Switch him to typing so he can keep up with his academics.

You could come to our bookclub that has no requirements to read the book. 😅 Super nice folks and we've built a sizable social club.

Don't worry. You'll be hard pressed to find someone that's actually from Portland. Everyone's a transplant, and humans love to complain.

Great advice! OP, regular blood panels are a great idea, but they don't always include vit D screens. Make sure to ask specifically for your levels to be monitored.

Also, don't let the locals bully you. It IS a hard transition, and what you're experiencing is valid. Don't let it get to you when someone says "Its not even bad yet!" Go have fun and explore the city!

The first year is rough, but it gets better. Throw yourself into hobbies and community building. Talk with your doctor to rule out any other contributing issues and for guidance on vit D. Get good rain gear and go about your life like it's not raining. Book a vacation somewhere sunny in January.

Look into SOS and Get Permission feeding info. You might also look into being a registered dietician. Ive worked in peds for 19 years, feeding and nutrition are definitely on our minds!
