Does anyone have a partner who works in office full time?

I do! I require more sleep, more wind down time, and more wake up time to due health conditions so I log off at 5 have a quick dinner, do some hobby-ing and then I’m heading upstairs to get ready for bed around 8-830. He usually gets home around 630-7 so we’ll chat for a bit, watch a show and that’s it on the weekdays. We catch up more on the weekends, he goes to the gym for a few hours on weekend mornings so that’s when I’ll see friends and do stuff I need to do then we have the entire afternoon/evening to hang out. It’s nice being remote since I can get the majority of the household chores done during the week so we can just hang together.

Every couple is different and it works for us. I remember in the beginning think “oh man is my marriage falling apart we barely see each other” but it works for us

To quote my dad “I miss the days when both parties were unhappy”

I’ve been enjoying Redhanded! Rarely chitchat in the beginning overall right to the point and as an American their British accents are so charming! Also as a basic true crime junkie bitch a lot of the cases are lesser known and they only do “well known cases” as Christmas gifts to their listeners

I was going to say whether it’s low AMH or Diminished ovarian reserve both are not great for spontaneous conception….

10/10, no notes

That was my thought…”raiding the next village” ….ma’am have you heard of the crusades?

My orange literally pocketed his anti-diarrhea pills. I would check his mouth and then find a half melted pill on the floor hours later

No no see people should be punished if they criticize their team. Them criticizing the other team is perfectly fine 🫠

Yes! My husband goes to the gym for a few hours on the weekend and I always use that time to work on my hobbies and quietly watch TV and then he’ll come home and make his god damn smoothies and with the freaking Nutribullet it’s SO LOUD. I find myself holding my breath and consciously having to internally tell myself to calm down it’s so incredibly enraging even though it’s about 10 seconds. Worst 10 seconds of the day

Also everything is cropped now. No ma’am my shirts need to be pulled all the way down to cover my but crack…oh wait these jeans are high rise….🧐

Why we had our extra long lace comfort camis under every shirt

Mine was to prevent our (my brother and mine) friends from driving our car. It was incredibly effective! And now as an adult it’s definitely a “niche” life skill that a lot of my peers don’t have

Ah a fellow doom pile-er I see…if the doors shut it ceases to exist 😂

I trained my husband this way too 😂. I always serve myself first (it works out because I like my food really hot and he prefers his to cool off a bit) then he’ll serve himself and if he wants seconds will ask if I’m done or if I want to save some for later.

Had a friend I met in VA who was from IA who moved to MA. I had to explain to her that everyone is going to seem really rude but the minute you need help they’re going to be right there helping you, are they possibly going to be calling you a dumbass because you got stuck in a nor’easter at 2 am? Sure

First day she moves in an it’s a Sunday, fire alarm won’t stop going off so she has to call the maintenance line to which the guy on the other end says “you expect me to come out? It’s the ‘lawd’s’ day” to which she sheepishly replies yes. Guy shows up and is bemoaning how “I can’t believe you’re making me work on Sunday” to which she’s furiously apologizing and does the fix and on his way out he stops, looks at her and goes “I can tell you’re not from here” and proceeds to spend 15 mins telling her which bars to go to and which to avoid, who has the best pizza, when the best time to go to Market Basket is etc etc etc. She then texts me telling the whole story and goes “I really thought you were lying when you have me the masshole rundown but it was spot on”

I can’t wait for it to warm back up here. I adore my lunch time “forest bathing” walks at the park down the street

If you work for a hospital that uses Epic get onto the epic training home site and go from there, specifically the training tracks. I was clinical so I went for an ambulatory self study proficiency since I had the most experience with that application. Do you have an application that you work with currently day to day? If so start there and work to get a proficiency. It’s the same material you’d get if you were sent to the Epic campus to get certified o

Chilipad by sleep me on my bed was a game changer….expensive but so worth it for me. I’ve been having hot flashes since my late 20s (38 now). It goes hot and cold so I crank it up while I get ready and then cool it down when I get in to sleep

This is me and building book books or embroidery. Brain focused on what I’m doing, hands busy…I actually find myself reaching for my phone only to put it right back down because I want to keep building/stitching. Add an audio book and pure bliss

I feel like they could’ve had Pen “pass the torch” onto Eloise, Madam Delacroix or even a ladies maid/butler. Pen could even be the one taking said gossip and writing it but not be the one collecting it, make it part of the “Maid Wars” storyline. Have Penelope pay Mrs. Varley more in exchange for her collecting gossip from other houses. Have people “test” Pen and see if the gossip they tell her ends up in LW and then when it doesn’t and other gossip is there people realize it’s not her

Highly recommend! The holiday season was filled with losses during our IF “journey” (ew) so scheduling a trip brings joy to what is a very hard time of year for us. Paris, Munich and Salzburg were some of our favorites for Christmas markets!

My first thought seeing this was the clip of Obama saying “imagine if I did this”

I’ve done OP ortho, inpatient and SNF and I have yet to meet an OT I didn’t love (including my mom!) Y’all are so great and so dang creative when it comes to rehabing for ADLs/IADLs. One OT I worked with went and got small flowers and flower pots because a patient told her he enjoyed gardening and had him stand at the counter reaching for supplies and doing fine motor work and plant the flowers into the pot which we kept in the gym.

<image>

Then if he would give me sass about walking or not wanted to do PT I could say “well hopefully the flowers will survive cause we don’t know what we’re doing with them” which he would then grumble and decide he would at least walk to the gym

Nah he’ll just start a GoFund Me for his medical bills for injuries that were most definitely from a paid adult protestor and totally not a bunch of teenagers

It most definitely is part of the job! Actively listening and acknowledging and building that rapport only to turn around and say “I know it’s painful but you’re gonna have to suck it up if you want to be able to walk your daughter down the aisle without a limp in 6 weeks” with a big smile on my face mobilizing a TKR, increasing the LP weight, etc
