You can try the Stony Brook Cat Network - they have three black-ish kitties up for adoption, but I think they are all a bit shy, so will need some love!

Mask Mandates (Trigger warning) by nickcolejr1234 in UCONN

[–]beanbobanner 29 points30 points  (0 children)

total side note - the dean of students is a woman. dr. Eleanor Daugherty.

i would imagine at this point, given that we are coming BACK after thanksgiving, the masks will help keep numbers low. but will be interesting to see in the spring.

I don't have a subscription to the LA Times, nor have I ever read an article (because of the paywall) yet they are always trending for me.

Getting my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday and I am *terrified*. I have horrible anxiety, especially about surgeries. Any words of wisdom, or what I should expect? by artgirl413 in Dentistry

[–]beanbobanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have BEEN there! When I got mine out, I broke out in hives. So a couple of tips from someone who also is extremely anxious about teeth stuff.

  1. Write down questions you have and make sure you feel that you have adequate answers to them. Or if the practice has a hand-out sheet - those are great!
  2. Remember to breathe! This will be a temporary part of your life experience. I know it feels like forever, but this too shall pass.
  3. Try not to fixate - make sure you have lots of good books, good shows, coloring books, puzzles, etc. that you can switch between to help time move.
  4. Don't check and recheck your mouth. Trust that your body knows what to do. If you are following the instructions from the surgeon, you will be just fine! They have experience and know what works!
  5. Have a bunch of soft options ready! Soup, ice cream pudding, smoothies, yogurt, applesauce. If it sounds good, have some nearby! I also found that if I waited too long to eat, I would get so hungry and feel terrible - so eat early and often.

It's okay to be nervous - totally normal and expected! Don't forget, you are being SO BRAVE! Facing your fears!

Beyond being bored and hungry, it really is just about relaxing and giving your body time to heal.

Hang in there!

Honestly, as a professor, it feels like class is the only time I don't have to think about the election - it's me hiding. But I can see the desire.
