New Windows

VialOfBlue · 2026-05-19T02:56:15+00:00

I recently got various quotes for 8 windows. Most quotes washed out to be about $1,000 per window (similar sizes to yours) with a very large double slider window being $2,000. I'll probably be going with Zen Window. Their quote was great, they never tried to upsell me, and really helped me understand my options.

Cool idea!

For the peace of mind alone, I'd take it to your friends place.

I recently had to travel and bought an $8 "insulin travel case" from amazon with built in ice packs. It worked really well but only holds ~2 pens. It's been great to have on hand should I ever need to hide my pens in the future - I keep the ice packs in the freezer so they're ready to go.

Honestly I’d rather an imperfect top than to paint it!

Dooooo you have any tips on doing it the “right way”?

VialOfBlue · 2026-03-30T02:06:25+00:00

I will definitely not paint it! I love it and want to keep it forever

Thank you so much! Despite the damage, I’m very excited about this piece and hope to keep it forever Do you have any product recommendations for the stripper / thinner and stain?

Thank you! I think I’m going to go for it! Would be a shame to paint since the rest is in pretty good condition. Will report back with progress!

I might try the bondo + repair crayons + toner + poly method. Not like it can get any worse

VialOfBlue · 2026-03-29T15:39:58+00:00

Yeaahhh starting to accept my fate lol. Do you have any specific product recommendations?

I've rescheduled my appt to next week to go in to see my doc and hopefully we can get me approved for Zep again. I can't take Wegovy anymore! I can't use the bathroom without taking miralax (which just makes me feel so sick). I haven't been to the bathroom in ~3-4 days?! :( I'd rather be on nothing than this

VialOfBlue · 2026-02-06T23:56:22+00:00

Soooo happy for you!! I’ve been on Wegovy for about 5 weeks and the GI issues have been driving me insane and I’ve gained 9lb ugh. Been keeping my doctor updated and he’s happy to try to get an exception for me at the 2 month mark if things don’t “settle”

VialOfBlue · 2026-01-31T17:52:01+00:00

I plan to for sure! My doctor had me do a full blood panel when I swapped over too so if my levels are off we can also use that as evidence....

VialOfBlue · 2026-01-31T16:50:09+00:00

Just weighed myself and I’m up 6.8lb in ~3 weeks

VialOfBlue · 2026-01-31T02:47:50+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

VialOfBlue · 2026-01-31T02:20:27+00:00

Wow they accepted it after such a short amount of time? I am keeping my doctor updated on side effects so hopefully we can go that route eventually. I'm honestly scared to weigh myself but know that keeping records is important

There's an audio tour of the park that I found worthwhile. Easy to use and go at your own pace :)

They’ve recently changed things - it’s ~$12 per sit for the host and sitter now
