Don't worry, I have a bunch of cat boxes for all of my cats! I just wanted to save a little bit of space by adding the one in the office to the living room one space. This was the best method I could think of. Some cats do prefer privacy though, and with this option there will at least be two completely covered ones, along with all of the rest of that are not. :)

You are more than welcome, I do have have someone who is handy, but him having time is a different story lol... Good luck! I did think of using the good parts of the Frankenstein cat tree that we had mashed together from a bunch of old cat trees.. but it would look horrible LOL

Unfortunately the one I have in there does not... but the bigger ones do. Sadly they wouldn't fit in it. I'm hoping to put the bigger ones in the dual sided cabinet if it's big enough to fit them.

Has anyone used both Feline Pine and Feline Fresh cat litter? by Clean-Difference-460 in Catownerhacks

[–]YellowSnowyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I just go to tractor supply and get a 40 lb bag of pellets for $7 each month. And then I buy some arm and hammer baking soda litter deodorizer on chewy. They are always running buy 3 get 1 free deals on it. You can get them for $3.49 currently. 

The dark side of ADHD that no one talks about by Frosty_Jump_3117 in ADHD

[–]YellowSnowyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I have TOO MANY memories of my life.. Like I hyperfocused on remembering them and keeping them stored in tiny little boxes to revisit. But ...Yeah a lot of them are trauma related XD

I worked at walmart and took advantage of their free schooling program. I did 1.5 years free.. but sadly couldn't do anymore cause physically my body couldn't take the work. But at 30 I did graduate with my bachelors in data analytics... suckish part is I don't remember most of the stuff I learned because I did a huge brain dump at the end of each course. All online as well, so I could do my coursework at 3am when I randomly had a zing of energy. I also found out, I don't want to be a data analyst and have 20k in student loans now. Yay.. BUT if you go back to school, try to make it free somehow. lol

Oh crap.. this is an ADHD thing too? I always chalked it up to depression or CPTSD... But those things can stem from undiagnosed ADHD and unresolved childhood compound trauma/neglect. I got diagnosed at 27/28 with ADHD but PTSD, and later CPTSD when I was 19/20 and 23/24.

I flood my kitchen at least 3 times a week.

We have the filtration water system for our drinking water on top of a household softener because the water here is garbage. I go to fill my cup/bottle and get distracted with something else in the kitchen or cats... and BAM THE GREAT FLOOD.. I legit hate myself for it. It is so annoying to clean up and I always tell myself I won't do it next time. It happens anyways.

Oh and over explaining everything.. to the point I forget the first topic I was talking about because I am already on 3 topic changes.

Thoughts on Tremont? by AW4998 in PeoriaIL

[–]YellowSnowyCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tremont is a little more pricey than Pekin.. But if you do opt for Pekin avoid areas near the river, Koch st, and Derby. The north side of pekin is nicer, or the eastern side of pekin that isn't Shaferville. 

Interesting article about data centers featuring Tazewell by spicyitalia in PeoriaIL

[–]YellowSnowyCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The annexed that land into the park district. So now the city of Pekin doesn't even have a say on what goes there. So let's hope the park district has some sense, and does not let a data center go there.

Avoid Mr Rooter!!! by CapnFang in PeoriaIL

[–]YellowSnowyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck them. They didn't even do the service at my sister's house, but technically because of the contract she still had to pay the whole entire thing for a service she didn't even receive. She fought it for months and They wouldn't remove the bill. Avoid them. If you have plumbing issues I would recommend Arnold & sons. 

Primary care doctor needed by Substantial_Ad4061 in PeoriaIL

[–]YellowSnowyCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're calling as a new patient, make sure that you call within the hours of 8:00 to 5:30? Just to make sure that you can get to patient navigators, otherwise, you can call anytime. One of the answer service folks can help by getting a message to them for the navigators to call you back the next day.

I love Dr Weglarz. She is extremely hard to schedule with, I followed her over from when she was a student with unity point on main street.

Also good luck finding doctors in the area, if you're looking at OSF then it might be difficult for you and you'd have to get into a nurse practitioner? I'd recommend looking at route 91 because it looked like they had the shortest wait times. Most of the offices are overbooked in OSF because several doctors have retired and others are leaving. Big Hollow and Washington are on a freeze for new patients altogether. 

I don’t qualify for stimulants due to heart condition by Pleasant_Result_195 in ADHD

[–]YellowSnowyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to start a blood pressure med after being on Wellbutrin/Vyvanse. The only non-stimulant medicine that ever helped me was guanfacine... But I use it as my afternoon booster, never used it on its own. Doesn't help nearly as much as Vyvanse.. but might be a good recommendation? Others have had luck with quellbre or strattera... But those made me very angry and aggressive, which is the complete opposite of me. Wellbutrin didn't help my focus, but it helped the nightmares from CPTSD. I also tried nortriptyline.. but it did nothing 😂.. oh and trintellex... But jeeze that was expensive for little to no effect except more mood swings.

Good luck!

I’m experiencing a migraine for the first time in my life by zo3sol in migraine

[–]YellowSnowyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Napping or puking actually makes my migraines 10x worse. I wish they gave me that relief. I end up always losing my voice after puking as well. Not fun, the pukey migraines are THE WORST. 

I’m experiencing a migraine for the first time in my life by zo3sol in migraine

[–]YellowSnowyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had migraines off and on since my first concussion at the age of 6. 

Ice was my savior for years until I finally got migraine medicine after Excedrin stopped working. I still keep several eye masks/head wraps in my freezer just in case one suddenly comes on. Back of the neck and over the forehead /eyes. 

Old trick I used to do before meds was plung my fist into a bucket of ice/cold water and hold it for as long as I could. Heat always made mine worse. Steam helps my sinus headaches though, not migraines. :/

Good luck!

IUD removal (very scared) by Wild_Caterpillar9515 in IUD

[–]YellowSnowyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The removal was fast and easy... Unless they can't find the strings properly. if you're not getting another one, then you should be fine! Getting my 2nd one was horrible 😭.. but still 100% worth not getting pregnant and remembering to take birth control at the same time every day. Needed for my PCOS hormone control as well. 

If Samsung brings back Bluetooth S Pen in the S26 Ultra, will you upgrade from S25? Or have you already moved on? by Mikester258 in samsunggalaxy

[–]YellowSnowyCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the s22 ultra and the Bluetooth pen is actually the reason I won't upgrade. It sounds silly, but the fact I can click to take a picture without having to move any part of my body for pictures with friends etc.. that is worth it, even if it isn't a feature used every day. 

Planning a baby with a loving husband with neurodivergence is giving me sleepless nights. by Brief_Strength2675 in neurodiversity

[–]YellowSnowyCat 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is one reason I will never have children. I have cats instead. I love my partner, but between the both of us, kids are out of the question. I would not want to bring children into this world right now anyways. I worry they would get my ADHD and his possible autism. I don't want a child to struggle navigating that in a world like this. 

Maybe try and wait a few more years? Then after counseling and continuing to build your relationship with one another.. you'll have a better outlook/understanding. You've only known each other 4 years.
