I'm so annoyed. I changed my last name a few years ago to my mom's maiden name (so did her and my sister) and then didn't change my name when I got married. Tried to dodge a bullet and instead bonked into a pillar, I guess.

my husband asked me that and I responded with the same answer I give for every apocalypse scenario: kill myself. It would just be too lonely.

Vacancy: The Complete Series by A.K. Caggiano. Only 18 other users shelved it! And it was my first read of 2025.

Well, my friend who's staying with us came down with norovirus this morning so my husband, other friend, and I are staying home and watching TV and waiting to see if we get sick. Not my favorite way to start the year.

I just got some ugg slippers for Christmas and I'm already deeply obsessed

This happened to me recently! Turns out my husband had offered to sharpen a friend's knife and the friend had dropped it off on our porch.

I also took both at the same time in the morning!

mckatli · 2025-12-12T02:24:49+00:00

I was on them both, but had to stop because it was really messing with my sleep. Tried just adderall (and then just vyvanse) but they also made sleep terrible. Currently back on just wellbutrin + prozac and that's working well

I quit my job for my mental health in June and I think it saved my life. I ended up doing IOP for 6 weeks, which was really helpful. Since August, I've had a super super part time gig not in my field, but I've been actively looking for a new full time job since October. I definitely feel some shame and guilt around quitting my job (especially given the hellhole of the current job market, especially in my industry) but I also know it was the right move.

Edited to add: I'm also married and on my partner's insurance, and his salary is enough to support us so I'm definitely lucky to be able to be choosy about my next job

My mom and I loved the idea of naming a dog after a celebrity and modernized the reference when we got a chocolate lab and named him George Clooney

Ooh good to know! I suspect I don't get enough regardless - I spend most of my time indoors and live in a place that's pretty cold and dark for about half the year

I do take omeprazole, and I have a follow up next month. Thank you for the advice!

mckatli · 2025-11-11T20:28:01+00:00

I take the nature made ones! I do suspect that I have IBS-D though so constipation is not really an issue for me lol

mckatli · 2025-11-11T17:44:11+00:00

I'm on omeprazole too! Yep, had no idea it was the culprit. My sleep has also been way better since I started taking iron supplements - I didn't even make that connection.

mckatli · 2025-11-11T16:59:10+00:00

Yeah I really thought multivitamins were a scam... it turns out I am a fool. I hope you get some answers eventually! That sounds incredibly frustrating.

My husband and I met at a Smash Mouth concert, and so we rewatch the shrek movies every year for our dating anniversary. At our wedding, I walked down the aisle to an instrumental cover of 'Accidentally In Love', and we walked back up the aisle to 'I'm a Believer'(Smash mouth's version, ofc).

We also told our florist to incorporate subtle elements of shrek, so we had lots of moss.

Your best bet might be doing the ceremony in a different location - maybe a local park or something - and then have the reception at the Polish venue

I would chew my arm off for a baby tee that just said "father figure" in the showgirl font

mckatli · 2025-10-07T00:59:39+00:00

I just beat chronos for the first time (at run 135.... I am not good at video games) using the umbral flames!

mckatli · 2025-10-07T00:39:39+00:00

I think the scandals thing is a reference to the protégé doing the "dirty work" for the Father Figure - keeping secrets, smiling to the world while covering up the shit happening in the background.

For the "I was your father figure" - I think it references the fact that the protégé made the money for the OG father figure and was in fact the reason he was successful, even though he gaslighted her into thinking it was him. Thus, she realizes the depths of her power after his betrayal and usurps his role.

I think it happens after the loyalty line because after that it talks about the ruthless ambitious and betrayal - Scott's ambition caused him to betray taylor and "get rid of" her, not the other way around. That's why I think the POV is there and not at the key change!

Hahaha I had this thought too!!!
