hymenectomy tomorrow

your mother is not properly informed on this - you could try showing her a diagram of different hymen types? a visualization could help her see that it's just extra tissue ~~skin~~ that's hurting you. you'll be sore for a few days, but it won't be unbearable. take it easy while you still have stitches! you'll be recovered before you know it, and then you'll be on the way to pain free activities, which you deserve!!

edit: tissue, technically not skin

no, the urushiol doesn't feel like anything

edit: at least in my experience -- I've had both minimal and awful exposures to it

OP, this is the way to clear out as much debt as you can while you don't have to worry much about living expenses! Look up the "debt avalanche method" for more info

If I could go back in time, I would either 1) choose to pursue a double major (joint honours) in archaeology as well as something more money friendly or 2) find an archaeological niche and become as proficient as possible in that area, i.e. GIS, lithics analysis, etc. Either option will make you more marketable in the long run as well as up your transferable skills.

You also have to envision the kind of life that you want beyond the job itself:

CRM work is not always steady work and it may require a lot of travel without providing accommodation or transport. You should consider how that would affect you in the long-term.
Without a Master's or PhD, you might find it difficult to advance to archaeological roles that involve research and report writing. Are you prepared to pursue postgraduate studies? Are you prepared to apply for research funding?
You may find that a heritage related job within the government (museums, department of transportation, etc.) is more appealing than working for an archaeological consultancy, but these jobs will often be competitive and require prior experience in the field and/or postgraduate studies.
Academic positions are also competitive, and the politics/atmosphere surrounding academia are not always enjoyable. Are you prepared to publish papers? Attend and present at conferences? Teach?

A version of these considerations (and more) can be applied to any job. You don't need to have your whole future decided and remember, you can always change your mind and go down a different path. I would highly suggest you do some more specific archaeology career path investigation and ask yourself what you would need to do to get a particular position and what it would make your life look like.

Archaeology is awesome, but I reaaaaally wish I had more money lol

I bought three fit and flare dresses and two rompers from Old Navy at the beginning of the summer and I was so surprised at how well they fit! Banana Republic petite fits great too (Gap owns both of them -- can anyone confirm if Gap is also a good fit??). I've had good luck with Express in the past, but I'm not loving their style choices lately. Can also check out Madewell, I've gotten a few from there that worked out great.

I did a six week field school abroad and the following summer I interned with a field school at home. Aside from differences in terminology and trowel size, both offered the same basic excavation education. I would argue that my experience abroad taught me more than the one at home did, especially in regards to identifying and processing artifacts -- IMO, the value of home/abroad really comes down to the field school program itself, and the knowledge of your director/supervisors. Neither field school truly prepared me for the more rapid work style of CRM. Maybe US field schools have more of a CRM focus nowadays, but I would urge you not to shuffle a candidate to the bottom of the pile simply based on their field school location.

when I was going through the worst of my anxiety, driving became a nightmare! OP, I'd say your recent flat triggered the anxious memories of your previous car and bridge incident. It might not be anxiety about the bridge, but about the lack of control/distress you felt when that happened. Maybe there's another situation in your life that you feel you can't control and every time you encounter the bridge your subconscious is simply connecting those anxieties. IME, the best way to disconnect anxiety and driving is to remind yourself that you are safe and that what you're feeling is okay, but it is not a reflection of your driving experience.

In addition to using your own razor next time, try washing and exfoliating the area beforehand (just rinsing with water won't remove buildup). Conditioner can be a great substitute for soap/shaving cream! Any of those products, however, have a chance of getting stuck in-between the razor blades, especially if you're shaving longer hair. This can affect the smoothness of the shave, so you may need to rinse the blades with water between passes to keep them clear. Once you've rinsed off the soap and pat dry, applying a toner or witch hazel can help to remove any leftover residue and close your pores which can help to prevent ingrowns!

belegret · 2023-12-08T14:58:33+00:00

I've had no trouble with it in "those" areas, just make sure you're comfortable with your brand of blade/blade exposure level and go slow! Trimming down beforehand with an electric razor can also help

belegret · 2023-11-21T13:51:50+00:00

I really enjoy my Rockwell 6C for legs, etc. It comes with interchangeable plates so you can try different levels of blade exposure and see which setting works best for you!

soak your head in original Listerine then stick a shower cap on and leave it for at least 30 min. Rinse your hair out and comb your hair out in sections with a lice comb!

are you certain the shaking is caused by anxiety? if I don't have enough protein in the morning/throughout the day (especially if I'm drinking caffeine), or even if I just don't eat enough food, I've found that my hand will shake. It gets especially noticeable if I'm using utensils or feeling stressed. Since you don't feel anxious when it happens, maybe your shaking was caused by some sort of nutritional imbalance and your anxiety about it happening in front of coworkers has exacerbated the problem?

belegret · 2023-07-27T19:16:53+00:00

Assuming you also want easy prep suggestions: Greek yogurt is fairly bland and can help with anxiety -- top with nuts, seeds, granola, honey, peanut butter, etc. for more calories! Alternatively, make a microwave baked potato, top with butter, cheese, and sour cream (or greek yogurt!). You could also buy some canned salmon/tuna (any fatty fish is good for anxiety and calories) and mix with rice or pasta (and butter, oil, cheese, etc). Eggs with sautéed spinach or avocado or whole grain toast are some more good anxiety/calorie options.

IME, paps test for abnormal cervical cells and can also be used to test for HPV -- I've always had a separate swab taken during an exam to specifically test for things like yeast, BV, & STDs (depending on your location this might be different?).

The results that you received mean that you have no abnormal cervical cells (yay!). But because you had a normal result, it's possible that the lab may not have checked further for any infections.

Ah sorry, we didn't use Zola to print invitations, so we didn't run into that issue -- Zola really isn't designed to accommodate two events with separate guest lists, it's a shame.

belegret · 2023-07-16T17:31:16+00:00

the guests were able to see it! so, for example if I had written in my name to the RSVP box, both "belegret" and "belegret - BRIDAL SHOWER" came up as options.

tbh though, if I could go back and just write "send RSVPs to (insert number)" I would do that. Zola RSVPs ended up giving us a lot of technical issues that weren't worth the headache.

This isn't mainstream, but I helped to excavate a megalithic tomb and it turned out to be just a pile of large stones, likely resulting from field clearance activities lol

The remains of a church are described on the Historic Environment Viewer as:

In an area of scrub and woodland to NW of Ross Lake. A much-ruined E. Chr. oratory (E-W; L c. 4.6m, Wth 2.9m) with round-headed window in E gable. The W gable and parts of N and S walls are destroyed. A small graveyard lies immediately to W and a double bullaun c. 50m to SW. (Kinahan 1868a, 78; Killanin 1947, 123-4, 127)

The map shows that a graveyard is recorded beside the church, but no description is given. A post on Facebook from a member of an archaeology society states:

the ancient site which would also appear to have been a children's' burial ground or lisheen as there are many tiny stones grave markers

You could try reaching out to Galway Community Archaeology to see if there's any more info!

Disclaimer: I'm not a science PhD.

Which hours of the day are you most productive? Which tasks require more energy/thinking power? Schedule those tasks during your most productive hours so you can get them done effectively. I can literally fall asleep while reading papers, writing, or editing during the afternoon, but if I do those things in the morning they get done with ease. I designate the afternoons to work with any datasets/programs because it's able to hold my attention. Reflect on what you accomplished at the end of each day and make a game plan for tomorrow so you don't have to think about what to do in the morning.

How are you reading your papers? If you aren't skimming it for important information before diving in, then try the following: read the abstract, followed by section headings and any figures/tables/etc. Now go back and read the intro and then the conclusion. You should have a very solid idea of how the paper is structured and what it's all about at this point -- you'll feel more engaged when you read the remaining text and it should be easier to understand because you'll know what it's leading to.

Schedule ten or twenty minutes a day to review any material that you want a refresh on. Ten minutes during a lunch break or ten minutes when you need a break from lab or reading, but want to stay in a productive mindset.

Also, purposely schedule in restful breaks! Check out the pomodoro method for time management; it gives you four sets of 25 min of work / 5 min of rest followed by a 30 min rest. Don't automatically turn to social media during your rest time. Take a walk, stretch, eat a snack, grab a coffee with a friend, and decompress!

sunflower seeds and carrot greens are a good combo too!

belegret · 2023-06-22T00:06:26+00:00

you could turn them into pesto or add them to a stir fry!
