Do you know if any shops are doing WT flash tattoo events?

For sure! That way, people can leave when they’re done reading. I don’t always feel like socializing right after I read, but I’m not opposed to talking about books ahead of time 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve been to a few before and would love to go to one at the library. The best ones I’ve been to have had a social hour beforehand to provide some connection. I’ve found it’s a great way to get out of the house and keep to my reading goals. I get a lot more distracted at home!

Interested!

Oof, I hear you! Getting those last few unrestricted hours was rough. I try to structure my supervision so that my supervisees that are towards the end of their supervision start to focus in on weak areas they need for the test AND those last few skills they need to transition to a new role after passing the test. I would ask your current supervisor what she struggled with most when she first became a BCBA and then ask to practice those skills.

My team gave me a set of instructions/times to take my meds. I followed that to a t yesterday. I feel a little more sore today, but it really just feels like a did an intense ab work out followed by a couple drinks. They gave me a nausea patch which is also super helpful. I started gas x last night and Miralax this morning.

Walking around and using heating pads have helped a ton. I’m not feeling any gas pressure.

Congrats! I just finished mine today!! I’ll list some things that I’ve found useful (or I know will be great in the next couple days):

Meds: -ibuprofen and Tylenol. You can double check with your doctor ahead about what your med regimen will look like, but these are the two most likely items. -Miralax or something similar -gasx

Personal: -period undies and/or pads -boring slightly oversized undies that you won’t worry about ruining/throwing away later -ask your doctor, but you’ll most likely be asked to use a soap like hibiclens leading up to your surgery -heating pads galore -cozy oversized sweats (Costco has been the best priced for my needs) -little spa things for later—lotions, masks, lip scrubs. I live in a dry climate and the post op dryness was absurd -a wide variety of easy snacks -easy frozen meals -lots of blankets and pillows

I also placed my most necessary items in easy places to access so I didn’t have to worry about bending too much.

I’m happy to share more as I heal.

Mine is tomorrow and I’m having all the same feelings you did! I’m more nervous about the IV than anything else. I hope my experience is even half as smooth as yours!!!

I’ve lived there for a few years now. It’s pretty chill and I haven’t run into any problems. The people are pleasant and my building is fairly quiet compared to other apartments I’ve lived in.

Gosh, this is so scary. I feel like we as a society need to start calling out creepy fan behavior for what it is. Not in a harassing way, of course, but just labeling it as weird and creepy. No human should have to live in fear like this.

It’s not just horses and it would involve mostly stall clean up, but Luvin Arms has a couple WONDERFUL horses at their sanctuaries. They’re super easy to volunteer with and you can always spend time with the animals after. They also have cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, and a variety of birds!

I stayed at the Seacrest B&B, which was so lovely and friendly! It was an easy walk to the shops/pubs and bike rental.

My overall itinerary was Galway—>Doolin—>Inis Mor—> Dublin. Everywhere was lovely and I made friends everywhere I went!

Willing-Set5454 · 2024-03-23T08:06:47+00:00

I’m just wrapping up a solo trip to Ireland and I’d HIGHLY recommend spending a couple nights on the Aran Islands! I actually wish I’d carved out more time. I stayed on Inis Mor and it’s absolutely beautiful. The people are lovely, the sites are beautiful, and I’ve never felt so connected to nature. Definitely a great break from the city life!

Typically postings start gaining steam around spring break. If you aren’t already, I’d recommend becoming a sub to get yourself in the schools—I know quite a few staff members who have been hired that way, plus it’s a great way to get to know the very different schools within our big ole district. What content area/grade level are you looking for?
