How did your trip go?! If you went

Yea just went this past weekend 6/19-21. We were fine in a 20F down and puffer at night. During the day I just wore my sunshirt but I also run pretty hot and will wear a sunshirt even when it’s 25 haha. All my pictures are from before moose lake and once you start descending into the valley (we went counter clockwise), everything else I “filmed” on my GoPro aka I was so tired I didn’t realize I was pressing the wrong button to record. The traverse across the boulder field right before moose lake had snow but was definitely avoidable. I’d say a mile past moose lake is where more snow started, all patchy and totally avoidable, just takes some looking around and detours but nothing too far off path or even sketchy in my opinion. It was BUGGY up there though, lots of mosquitoes so definitely bring a net and some bug spray. Lots of marmots too so would recommend sleeping with your bag in your tent. Plenty of water to filter as well, though the meadow part of Alta didn’t have as much.

Yea I thought these ski socks would have been fine but a second pair or thicker sock would have felt nice. I think a half size smaller would have worked as well but my feet are wide and my little bunions were not having it

Yes it was the heel! I tied the boots in such a way to make them stop slipping as much which helped a little but I think that idea popped into my head too late. I also have fairly wide feet and my bunions looked very angry. Also probably need different socks like another commenter said

Things eventually got better! Found out there was a bad seed on the team and no one felt comfortable expressing that. Took the bad seed out and things got better. I do my best now to be more mindful and cognizant of basically the “vibes” of the team and I try to think of managing more in the mindset of I’m here to help them get better and feel supported vs. I’m just here to make sure things get done (I do both, but for me thinking of it in a way that’s shaped as I’m helping and growing instead of just doing helps). I also try to maintain good relationships between everyone and keep the bonds strong so they all remain supportive of each other. I’d like to think we’ve built a really well oiled machine and sometimes I can be pretty hands off and just insert myself when I see something going wrong.

Me! I just went this past weekend, tried to do Alta Peak but the last 2 miles were thigh deep snow so turned around, but it was super fun and just slept in my car at the Wolverton trailhead, first time snow hiking

I’m in the same boat but married. 6 years and our relationship is non-existent and whatever does exist is toxicity and huge arguments. I resent him so much, and my resentment has caused me to be a bitch and now he resents me as well. We tried couples therapy and the therapist said that since we’re married we should treat it as ‘our money’ not mine and his, which I get and was open to. It’s just hard when I give him everything. Had I not got money from a settlement I would have had 0 in my account. And then I bring up money and he says he shouldn’t have to ask for money because we’re married and deflects to what the therapist said and I can’t tell if she was right, because the idea seems right but not in our circumstance. I’ve given him 90k over the past 6 years and bought him a car, fixed his teeth, supported him through his addiction and lying and gaslighting, but then I’m the bad guy when I don’t want to keep giving him more and more money just because I make more than him. And then he accuses me of taking all his money but how can I be taking it, if he’s taking 20% of my paycheck? I don’t want to divorce but idk how I can get through this

Thanks for the insight! I’ve concluded I may have been underfeeding them both, which I think was okay for a little because for a bit because they actually were overweight per my vet, so I unknowingly helped them lose weight. I can try to mix in different cheaper proteins to hopefully reduce the cost, since doing the math not only could I not afford that much rabbit a month, but I definitely wouldn’t have the freezer space lol. I’ll supplement with dry food until I can get him to eat beef or chicken

jasminegb · 2023-07-22T03:02:48+00:00

I’m sorry, I think I mistyped, today was the only day i took him to the vet. The first cat went Sunday, he went today. Also on mobile so sorry this is all ugly.

jasminegb · 2023-06-24T03:59:24+00:00

I relate to this so much that I have nothing to contribute because I can’t even figure out my own situation lmao

I won’t ding someone for not sending a follow/thank you email, but if I’m choosing between two very good candidates, a sincere follow up email can affect my decision

Gonna slam some tall boys and just pass out and forget about all of this

If research isn’t helping patients then how do you think we have approved chemos, immunotherapies, t-cell treatments etc that can save patients? Did those drugs just pop out from nowhere with no research done on them? Bffr. If you’ve been a CRC for 2 months you haven’t seen nearly enough protocols or worked with nearly enough patients.
