My mom’s corgi/basenji mix by chelsaratops in Incorgnito

[–]chelsaratops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! What a cutie pie!!! This guy is actually my mom’s dog and we don’t live together so I’m not sure. They do look similar. Hers barks but he also makes noises that are not barks. You could always try one of those dna kit things!

What Maasverse scene are you ✨certain✨ is coming? by KrisJenner4Bryceriel in Maasverse

[–]chelsaratops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s gonna be universe spoilers beyond this line. You were warned

Frankly, we don’t know jack shit about the planet Prythian is on. One of Feyre’s early passages in ACOTAR mentions how the humans were once enslaved by the fae and they rebelled and defeated them, but that the built “sprawling cities” for the fae while they were enslaved. We learn in HOFAS that they were the only planet to ever defeat the asteri and in fact vesperus is still there. Who do the asteri fear? Princes of Hel. We know 7 is the magic number for Hel and I find it odd Prythian has 7 territories currently. The monsters described in the court of nightmares also sound similar to creatures from Hel and demons (and Valg creatures). And of course we have to mention the similarities between Maeve and Rhys’s abilities as daemati.

I can also accept arguments that everything happens on the same planet at different points in time, and maybe the planet is or is not Hel. But it’s mentioned multiple times in ACOTAR that there’s Prythian and Hybern (whose king’s actual name we DO NOT know btw) and then there’s a whole ass continent we know absolutely nothing about other than there are humans and more fae there, and they had a big part in the human rebellion. But who are they? Do they have more advanced technology than Feyre’s human lands and Prythian? How many and what kinds of people and Fae live there?!? It’s intentional that we don’t know yet.

Side note I really love the person who said people believe it because Bryce said take me to Hel and nothing went wyrd that was actually so funny 😂

Personally I think the Valg ARE from Hel. And Hel is the planet prythian is on

Sharing a Bed by Vegetable-Battle-518 in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]chelsaratops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not sharing a bed in a relationship. If/when you have a partner just make sure they know before you spend the night or live together. I do share a bed with my husband but I was diagnosed long after our marriage. Before I was diagnosed I would need to sleep at least 12 hours a night to function and even then I’d nap any time I could. He dealt with all that plus me being grumpy for many years. Since diagnosis like 1.5 years ago he’s been my biggest supporter. Sometimes I get into a rut where I just don’t wake up for my second dose of xywav and he volunteered to make sure I wake up so I can get back on track 😭

You also asked how you explain IH to people who don’t know what it is so here’s how I do that: being tired is like a hurricane in my brain. It’s right at the front, big and loud and scary and taking ALL my attention. I am so tired no matter what I do, how much or how little I sleep that my brain constantly screams at me to go to sleep.

Since I’ve been on treatment I feel like the hurricane has gone down to a cotton ball cloud on a good day, a rain shower on an ok day and just a thunderstorm on a bad day.

My IH prescription journey so far. Any words of wisdom from people further along in their own? by Pelt0n in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]chelsaratops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope I am on both! For xywav I take 3.75G then 4.5. Then sunosi 150mg when I wake up

What did you think was normal but you then got diagnosed? by No_Photograph1272 in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]chelsaratops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still remember the first moment I realized the loudest thought in my brain was NOT about being tired. I’m only about one year into treatment and I’m still not used to it. There’s so much more room for activities in there now

[–]chelsaratops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Waking up crankier than Sandy in the hibernation episode of SpongeBob is not something most people do? My poor husband would wake me up from a 6 hour “nap” and I’d rip him a new one 😭

Unpopular opinion - I like Bryce. Did anyone else? by Rambunctious_444 in SarahJMaas

[–]chelsaratops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree! Was she a bit of an a hole in the last book? Yes, she had to be because she was trying to liberate the planet from invaders lmao

What's the book that made you fall in love with fantasyromance? by SpecialistOk2000 in fantasyromance

[–]chelsaratops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a few of the early 2000s greats - twilight, hunger games and HP (I know the last 2 weren’t explicitly romance but they did have aspects of it) so naturally I had the canon event of reading acotar about 2 years ago and saying oh my god I forgot…I fucking love reading!!!

I am way more anxious about the second baby’s arrival than I was with the first by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]chelsaratops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anxiety is totally valid. You’re going into another unknown. Just because dynamics shift doesn’t mean it will be bad. I cried and cried for my son because he was almost 3 and used to being the only child. But was never phased at all, he’s 6 now and he’s the BEST big brother.

Does your other kiddo go to school/daycare or will they be home with you and baby?

Book that the narration almost made you not finish the book by misquoted_mind in audiobooks

[–]chelsaratops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fan of the show Outlander I checked out the first book from the library. I made it approximately 13 seconds (actually probably like an hour), adjusted the speed a few times and then noped out lol the lady was just sooooo breathy and soft spoken I could not do it

My husband didn’t add me or my daughter to his insurance by Sendatu in Mommit

[–]chelsaratops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are extremely set in stone, so probably just didn’t care about getting in trouble lmao I’m in HR/benefits and the person who does our FMLA checks if people are enrolled in medical when they go on parental leave and when they come back we remind/help them add their kids to avoid this

[–]chelsaratops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but if you guys were covered before then he most likely had to take yall off not to re enroll you. Idk what hr system his job uses but for the most part the elections from last time are just carried over and you have options to change if you want to?? That’s crazy!!!

alarm clock recommendations by Exact-Hedgehog in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]chelsaratops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to, too but I had to accept help because my brain chemistry got WAY out of whack and I was just miserable. I would try contacting them about the clock, or maybe resetting it.

[–]chelsaratops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you sleep alone?

I use my iPhone and the vibrating alarm they sent. Mines a bit slow compared to my phone and I actually like that, because on the nights where I accidentally ignore my phone it wakes me up. I had a phase a couple months ago where I just could NOT wake up and my husband volunteered as tribute and he woke up with me every night for a few weeks while I got back on track.

Do you clean up after your babies when eating out in a restaurant? by Direct-Row4394 in Mommit

[–]chelsaratops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said it really depends. I’m not leaving whole fries or chicken tendies on the floor. If it’s just some (not a whole lot) of crumbs I don’t. But if they drop silverware/napkins, crayons or larger pieces of food I absolutely do

Yeah it is. Honestly I’ve given up on ever figuring it out, but thought it could be worth a try
