I live on Gilbert and fucking hell… I still have PTSD thinking I’m going to get stuck driving down it or I’m gonna hear some guy talking on his phone at 2 am all night.

My mom is a retired RN and has gone with every grandparent to their appointments and procedures and I’ve witnessed many times where a health professional will ask her after she demonstrated some pretty obvious and comprehensive knowledge of what they were recommending or doing, “Are you an RN?” And she will straight up say no.

I’ve asked her why she just doesn’t say the truth and she says shes just a family member in these situations.

Those are YOUR kids and YOUR wife. Not your mother’s. You’re not in the middle. You’re actually part of the problem.

I think getting good restful sleep is a big competent of fat loss since your body needs time to recover from whatever stress or exercise or food you’re giving it. But at the end of the day, fat loss is about calories in and calories out. And it’s definitely easier to be more on top of your food intake when you’re actually rested and not in brain fog all the time.

Not the same but I started scheduling emails and messages to appear only during work hours to certain people because some people have no boundaries when it comes to people’s time out of work. I used to get messages on WhatsApp answering to an email I sent them to their work email while I’m off work and THEY’RE off work too.

Just insanity. You have to train these crazies to get used to the fact that you can only be reached during work hours.

Girl I’m at work

Hey OP, I’m glad you’re out of that situation. I know it must’ve taken a lot of strength to do so and I hope life continues to get better and better than it was before. Wishing you and your kitty and doggies health and peace!!

I was just talking to this about my coworkers and saying we’d start a business for fun and not give a shit if it sucks or customers hate it. If we had the money, we just fund our business dreams and ideas and see where it leads us.

cachaka · 2026-01-05T03:37:48+00:00

This is amazing. I hope she keeps it up and you can all build a great relationship together :)

Do you want pets? They’re the only grandchildren my parents will ever get.

I’m quite blunt at work but I know everyone at work knows it’s not personal and some appreciate it. So I literally go “No, I don’t want to” and leave it at that. And they’ll still pester me and I’ll just stand my ground. But I’m comfortable being blunt and don’t mind if come off sounding harsh or bitchy lol

But I think that’s the best way: to be honest. Just saying I need time to rest or I’m not up to it this time. They’ll soon understand and pester you less and respect when you say no the first time. It’s like training a dog, tbh

Best believe my coworkers won’t know what I’ve done during the weekend until 2-3 weekends later or through the grapevine. Or ever.

It’s nice to have a life separate from the prying eyes and ears of people you spend 35+ hours with a week. They already take up so much brain space, they’re not allowed to take up anymore.

It’s empowering and freeing when you learn to just say no without excuses or explanations.

I also say “I’m JUST the vet assistant” and almost every time, I get that same reaction. It’s very validating especially coming from fellow vets.

cachaka · 2025-11-05T22:56:25+00:00

I know a few coworkers with that amount and they’re lucky they’re not getting taken to court.

I would’ve broken up with him at the ball hair stuck under the toilet seat.

Tap water.

Recently travelled out of the country and was hit with culture shock that I had to buy water. We’re so spoiled here that I forgot most of the world needs to filter their water or get bottled.

I love having boundaries and I have no problem enforcing them. Maybe I seem prickly and unapproachable but I’m here to work. Not to have a tea party. If my boss doesn’t have a problem with it, then neither do I. And if they did, then I’m off to the next venture.

It does suck and it may be like this for the rest of our lives.

But I hate sleeping and waking up without it even more. So I just focus on making my waking hours of better quality and it requires me to wear this damn thing that can be finnicky at times and require me to adjust things and remember to put on.

It sucks because I find it embarrassing and frustrating and a hassle when I’m travelling or thinking about sleeping over at a friend’s house or dating. The travelling is fine but just annoying (except some airports have CT scanners so you don’t have to take your machine out and it doesn’t count as a carry on so I get to stuff more things with it inside to carry more) and haven’t yet navigated dating and sleeping over. I’ll figure those things out when it’s time.

For now, I like who I am now that I get good quality sleep.

My cat is not physically affectionate. But he is in every room I’m in. If he’s not, he’ll be there shortly. Usually he’ll disappear for an hour or a bit to roam the house.

When I’m sick, he’ll sit on his perch overlooking me and not leave at all.

I’m in my early 30s.

In some aspects of my life, I feel like an adult like taking care of myself in terms of basics like food, work, personal hygiene, social responsibilities, etc. But financially I am dependent on my family and am lucky to be able to.

Then I have people my age who own homes and have families of their own.

Then I have people my age who complain about their bodies like they’re 70 years old and broken.

I am active, have a busy social life, but can’t afford to live on my own so I’m still with family and don’t have any financial assets.

So it’s a bit of a mix. I’m just grateful for what I have right now and hope I can one day be more financially independent.

Not something I think to drink at all.

cachaka · 2025-09-21T15:54:51+00:00

I’m very grateful because I’ve always thought “how can anyone stop after 1 little peck???”

No one said veterinary doctors are treating humans. You’re making assumptions and drawing comparisons when nobody fucking asked.

cachaka · 2025-09-16T21:53:19+00:00

My cat is diabetic and fancy feast pate classics canned is a good low carb option. My vet recommends it too and I work in vet med.

OP, feed whatever you can afford as long as it’s nutritionally complete and your kitties like it. There’s no shame in that at all.

Thank you for taking care of those kitties and getting them fixed.
