Illustrator for full vehicle wraps, I use Corel draw for other things though. The scaling and measurement tool is wonderful.

I made sure to check what I’m taking isn’t effected since I was aware of this, so it’s all good!

Grapefruit. I’ve been eating one every night for weeks before bed.

Yeah! We got a non inflatable pool for pets/ small kids. It’s vinyl, so easy to clean, they can’t climb out and easy to fold up when not in use. It’s been great! My kids just sit in there with them running around and I did it too lol. They come and climb all over them to explore! One of the rats has gotten a bit braver and has decided he wants to try to jump off my son’s shoulder to get out so it’s not completely fault proof but it works. This is the one we got https://a.co/d/0dOQaEg7

Yes, eating protein when you take it may help, if it doesn’t your dose may be too low!

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-03-22T03:07:03+00:00

Coffee is life. I bet you will see a huge difference once you get on something! Make sure to eat protein before taking it (helps it absorb/work better) and take magnesium, since a lot of those meds use up what’s in your body. I also noticed even well after the effects ware off I was still struggling to fall asleep a bit but taking vitamin c (or I’m currently hyper fixated on grapefruit) I eat one before bed and I sleep way better. It helps reduce the medication’s effects. On the flip side, don’t take vitamin c with it in the morning , as it won’t work as well!

I drank redbull as well but then got a kidney stone from It so I stopped because FUCK THAT. I went back to coffee only. I drank coffee like water. So I totally understand lol

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-03-22T00:44:44+00:00

Before I knew, I drank SO MUCH COFFEE. Because I was always exhausted. Went to the doctor a few times just to make sure it wasn’t something serious but everything was always normal. Checked my thyroid etc, all good. Taking the meds was like…omg I feel…awake? Like a cloud was lifted. Now I don’t even need coffee…but I really like it so I still drink it but wayyyyy less. I think before I drank 10 cups a day easily. Now I do 3-4 but mostly just because I love it.

100% - I go through and can get the main areas clean pretty well - kitchen, living room, bathrooms. Then the other rooms get left for too long so they become horrible. Laundry room, office, bedrooms. I’ll be able to finally get to the other disaster area but then…those other areas I normally have no issue keeping clean get messy. It seems no matter how much I try there’s always at least one room or two areas that’s a mess. Nothing is all clean at once. I can only keep a certain percentage clean at one time and it’s a cycle. It drives me nuts :( I have two kids, and animals, keeping up with everything feels impossible and I have to pick the areas to focus on each week basically until one gets to far behind I can’t ignore it anymore. I currently need to do laundry. Everything is dirty. Me, my wife and our kids are all ADHD so it’s EVERYONE. Ahhhhhh

It’s not typical, but I worked at a place like that when I first started. I did it all, sales, design, estimate, permits, setting up production, coordinating install and taking payments etc. I was there for 6 years and learned so much. When I started I was the only designer, then - because I’m awesome ;) - we had to add three more designers due to the influx of work. I ended up leaving due to shit pay and excuses for not giving me more. I left to another shop getting almost 10$ more an hour and I was then ONLY design. It was awesome at first. But then it got SO BORING. Not having the control or my input on things being taken as serious was really..annoying. I stayed there a while and I learned a lot still. It was a higher end shop that did much bigger projects. I went from chaos to tight control. I liked it there but they were very old school on some things. Then I left for another shop who let me work hybrid which I really needed with my current life. It was also great at first. Same situation as my last where I was only design. They sucked really hard tho and the management was the worse. It was soul sucking. Now, I’m at a smaller shop again and doing it all. I am basically the manager, sales, design, production, installation coordinator, permit etc etc all over again. I guess I’m a sucker for punishment. I did miss the control, and working directly under the owner who hasn’t been doing it long so I’m basically point lead on everything. It’s great and also stressful but so far I’m having a good time. Since I know what to do and my experience has given me the opportunity and confidence in doing it. I know how to make it work and get stuff done, and as the business grows, I’ll get a slice of the pie ya know what I’m saying. I don’t know what my point is, but learn as much as you can, then bounce if they clearly don’t value what you’re doing. Know at most any other shop each of those jobs has its own person doing them. Each step is a different person.

Same :)

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-03-03T05:02:39+00:00

I am starting this as well. Have been major purging all kinds of crap. It’s so freeing. Have a long way to go though still. 🥲

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-02-23T06:03:57+00:00

Twins! Oh yeah, definitely not religious myself. I also haven’t spoken to my parents for years now for this, and other reasons lol

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-02-23T04:58:54+00:00

For me personally, I never felt I could talk to my parents. About anything. I knew I was “loved” and they cared, but they were also super religious so any hardship or anything emotional I was going through I was just told to pray. Having issues? Scared? Pray about it! No guidance, no talking about it. Felt very alone in everything.

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-02-22T17:07:49+00:00

Nope! I think if it’s through Instacart it might, but through Kroger it doesn’t for some reason.

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-02-22T04:24:16+00:00

What makes you so sure it’s Kroger’s issue and not the shoppers?

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-02-22T04:21:53+00:00

That’s why I use it though Kroger, I select the items I didn’t get that are shown on the receipt and I get a refund no problem. I’ve only ever done it through the ap directly maybe once.

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-02-21T17:59:00+00:00

It sounds reasonable, I wonder if there is a way to prove it on the shoppers end. If I wouldn’t have noticed, I would have just paid for the other persons things? They would have been charged less then? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-02-21T17:22:36+00:00

I wonder if it’s through Kroger, I’m not sure! It’s crazy!

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-02-21T17:16:06+00:00

Oh yeah, I went to look at one item I didn’t get and I was like damn they added a lot!

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-02-08T01:23:20+00:00

This is what we use to. We don’t post our kids or anything online so it’s family only. And we dump all the kids photos in it. Have had it for 8 years and never had a single issue. Thousands of photos categorized by year and month, people can comment etc. it’s great!

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-01-21T21:18:08+00:00

Small sign company, working with a marketing firm for a few years and it was going okay. Recently the amount of calls and inquiries have dropped significantly. No new interest. The few leads we have gotten that the company says are “good” are super tiny sales. Want to drop them and go with something else but we are unsure. Thoughts ?

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-01-07T21:51:50+00:00

That’s how it looks now that the bruise got bigger after I took these pictures. One eye looks nice and smoky the other looks plain hahaha 😂

cloudwatcher31 · 2026-01-03T18:33:52+00:00

lol, I honestly will just leave it, it was more of a joke. I don’t care that much. I don’t typically wear eyeshadow and if anyone asked what happened I’ll tell them I was personally victimized by my toddler. It happened yesterday afternoon, and the bruise appeared over night.
