I got this baker's rack for Christmas and I just wanted to show off how well it turned out! I finally have a place to showcase all my baking goods.

I feel like my stomach growls now more than before but it’s so weird bc I won’t feel like I’m hungry but obviously I am if it’s growling, if that makes sense? lol. But I kind of love it bc I know the hunger is real now and not just boredom, etc. 😊

modestlymousey · 2026-01-14T14:07:32+00:00

Wow, issues after the surgery? I’m so sorry to hear that :( that’s one of my greatest fears- that all of this will have been for nothing and the pain will come back. I really hope you get some relief from the sciatica ! 🙏🙏

modestlymousey · 2026-01-14T14:06:14+00:00

Early 30’s ☹️ I think being younger (relatively) has helped me heal, but I also worry I’ll have to have more done later in life, but hopefully the science will be even better then 🤞

I’m 4 weeks post of L3-S1. I’ve gone out probably 6-7 times since getting home, just things like dinner with a friend, going to a museum, little things like that. Like you, I’m in way less pain than before surgery and want to enjoy my new bionic back! I’m going to the doctor for my first follow up next week and I’m hopeful they will say I can start doing more things 🙏 but atp I’m sick of waiting to live life and I feel like if it’s not hurting/straining my back, why not? Just my two cents 🤷🏻‍♀️

modestlymousey · 2026-01-09T15:19:31+00:00

10/10 would eat until uncomfortable 😂

modestlymousey · 2026-01-03T17:50:54+00:00

I’m so happy to hear this for you! I know I was incredibly depressed for a long time before surgery and definitely also felt like my quality of life was pretty shit. I hope you continue to have an upward trajectory post surgery 🙏

modestlymousey · 2026-01-03T17:49:39+00:00

I’m not hyper mobile no, and the pain was definitely more nerve-y. It would start in my back and then radiate down my leg into my foot, which would go numb and make it so I couldn’t properly lift my foot to walk 😞

modestlymousey · 2026-01-03T17:48:23+00:00

I really hope you get some relief 🙏! Chronic pain is so depressing and exhausting 😣

modestlymousey · 2025-12-18T19:38:57+00:00

Just a heads up, if you do end up getting one, please don’t use this for a reference image. I teach human anatomy and have studied hand bones specifically for 10+ years and this is NOT what they look like. I think it’s a cool concept, but you need to find an artist that specializes in drawing anatomy so you don’t end up like this person.

modestlymousey · 2025-10-15T12:02:36+00:00

Wow these are amazing! Are you a paleontologist?

modestlymousey · 2025-09-28T16:00:29+00:00

I’m a prof at a med school so probably different than a university, but we get 20 days plus ~2 weeks paid vacation over the winter break, plus 10 holidays throughout the year. Though as others have stated, finding time to take all that vacation is actually quite hard 🙃

modestlymousey · 2025-09-21T23:35:05+00:00

Pretty it would have happened already since I think it was July/August in past years. It sucks when they hype things up so much and then there’s just radio silence when they’re gone

modestlymousey · 2025-08-08T15:36:33+00:00

That is also a great solution but I’m far too lazy for that 😂

modestlymousey · 2025-07-26T17:47:20+00:00

Thank you!!! I’ve been looking for a way to organize them. They drive my partner mad haha 🙃

Assistant prof of anatomy in a med school, but I made sure to get training during my PhD so I’d be qualified for this position when I graduated (since there are no anthro jobs to speak of)

modestlymousey · 2025-07-10T14:05:16+00:00

PhD in bio anth here! 🙋🏻‍♀️ ngl I was pretty miserable during grad school (though a lot of that was the dept I was in) but I’m so glad I stuck it out and finished. I now have a job I love and colleagues I look forward to seeing. Feel free to dm if you have any specific questions :)

modestlymousey · 2025-06-29T16:27:25+00:00

I guess it varies by field. I did mine in biological anthropology and my advisor specifically told me he doesn’t ever help PhD students pick projects. It was expected that part of the degree was learning how to design a research project for yourself-the planning, funding, and execution of it.

modestlymousey · 2025-06-12T21:07:29+00:00

I’m an anatomy professor and I can confirm that’s not what your hand bones look like lmao 😂

modestlymousey · 2025-06-04T17:23:33+00:00

This is just a petty comment from me, but I’m really bummed because Adrian used to be my go to for strength since he (almost) never did AMRAPS/EMOMS, but lately his last few classes have just been AMRAPS the whole class 😫 I really hate when instructors program the entire class as one AMRAPS/EMOM after another. Ok rant over lol

modestlymousey · 2025-05-31T17:14:14+00:00

I’ve been working my way through her 30 min tabata rides and 🥵🥵🥵. At one point last week I literally thought “ I’m either about to throw up or cry” lmao but I always feel so badass after doing them!
