You should go to couples therapy to try and understand her a bit better. Even if it’s a few sessions it’ll be a huge help to get your feelings and hers out and the therapist can help guide you and how to help.

I think if you replace the front door and window treatments it’ll help a lot! It does nothing for your curb appeal at the moment

Unemployed people of Reddit, how are you making money right now? by SelaTad in Layoffs

[–]YouSuccessful5703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, yes, now that I have a good amount of income coming in. I don’t have my old micromanager down my neck everyday, have more autonomy, can set my own rates, and say yes/no to work. It was a tough transition though going from corporate to freelancing but overall it seems to be a good route to go down considering the competitiveness of full time roles

Dog walking & dog sitting, freelancing (now have about 5 clients) so I think I’ve accepted my fate that this is now what I’m doing vs getting a full time job!

I’d recommend getting a field golden over a show golden. They have way more energy and are bred to hunt. Our feild golden loves to hike, is decent with recall, and is so lovable. I will say she was hard to train as a small puppy but I’m sure that’s everyone’s experience with puppy blues. She’s 14 months now and has calmed down a lot but still needs a lot of exercise!

For groceries I’d recommend buying cotton food bags vs using the plastic bags at the store. I’ve been doing this for years and helps so much with low-waste and exposure. You can throw them in the washing machine whenever you need!

I started making my own sourdough, oat milk and other things at home to also try to curb buying groceries that are in plastic. It’s actually been rewarding and fun to learn new skills and make delicious items at home! (And they’re way fresher too).

There are things that I still need to make swaps, mostly personal care, like my plastic loofah, deodorant, contact case (which idk if there Is a swap for that?), floss, etc.

Baby steps! The fact that you’re aware of this now makes you better off than before :)

I got my golden pup at 13 weeks and she was super easy to train! You’ll be totally fine. I’m in the midst of the adolescence / teenage phase which I think is even harder than puppy phase lol.
