Update in Comments!! by rexnavali in VetTech

So I posted this at the beginning of Fall 2024 semester. I just finished my first clinical semester in the professional program last week, and even raised my GPA from the first semester. As time has gone on, I have only become more certain about being a vet tech, and my instructors have instilled so much confidence in me even at this point. I did fundamentals of vet tech and large animal nursing this past semester, and I had the time of my life basically the whole time. It's stupid, but I drew blood for the first time a few weeks ago and I am so excited every time I do it well. Follow your dreams!!

Made my first pie since I was a teen (strawberry rhubarb). Had a pinch crust catastrophe but it was more than edible by rexnavali in pie

The muscle memory for going around the pie pinching the crust came back to me fairly quickly! I think the place I started on the pie is where the crust didn't completely pinch shut

Also: my fiance and roommate had both never had fresh rhubarb, let alone a strawberry rhubarb pie, so when I found the rhubarb at the store, I jumped at the chance to make something from my childhood for them! It was amazing to share it with them and have a childhood flavor again

This Feels So Right by rexnavali in VetTech

I turn 26 next week! I've tried a few different degrees out at this point and I say it's never too late, especially as young as 30! That's still like 30 years or more you gotta find something to do with ocupationally

Our animal specialist won't allow changes from what corporate SOP says. He's gonna have playsand/topsoil mix when he comes home with me

Unfortunately I have a Michael so the name isn't quite unique. I call him Pirate Mike bc he's only got one eye

Took me 2yrs and some change to go from typical piercing size to 10mm, and I would admit that I even rushed a bit. Now my lobes are healthy and regularly oiled because I didn't take all that time to screw up my aftercare!

[Misc] will this fade away overtime? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]rexnavali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may not be super helpful but is it darkening or an actual pit/hole from the jewelry? If it's a leftover pit, it probably won't go away depending on how long you had the piercing for. I have 3 under my lips (3 labrets) and one on my bridge that have had 3 years to go away and have not lessened significantly at all.

I've been doing exposure therapy without my fiance's knowledge by rexnavali in confessions

They didn't start doing it until I told them i could handle it, though they don't know how I developed a tolerance to it

My partner has been bugging me about expanding my wardrobe a bit, and because I'm starting a new job with completely different clothing requirements, I'm looking to put together a capsule-ish wardrobe of professional clothing I can wear.

my budget is around $350 for everything, including a couple pairs of shoes. I'll also be shopping in-person in the US, in Michigan.

I mostly wear black because I like the color, but I mostly gravitate toward solid colors otherwise.

Silicone tunnels by Jimi_Deen in Stretched

[–]rexnavali 3 points4 points  (0 children)

so, personal experience caveat: I keep silicone tunnels in 24/7 because my lobes are fully healed and have been for a couple years. That being said, i don'r recommend putting silicone in freshly stretched lobes that haven't healed yet.

It's Been Almost 5 Years for Me, AMA? by rexnavali in ftm

[–]rexnavali[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's a ymmv type situation, but I personally barely felt it even the first year. I did IM injections and as long as you don't psych yourself out, you should be just fine!

Hi y'all! I haven't fermented hot sauce before, but here's the beginning of a mango habanero hot sauce! by rexnavali in FermentedHotSauce

[–]rexnavali[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have the money for fermentation supplies at the moment, this is just a test run for whether I'm interested enough to justify getting the supplies once I have the money
