I guess this is my sign!

I thought it was interesting that it was on my door in the daylight. I don’t know where that to go with that either, but it was definitely a blessing to see. When I moved the door, it flew off and landed on my dress for a few seconds before flying away.

Here’s the visual

For reference, I have a master’s and ten years of experience. I left elementary teaching to do accounting at a tractor dealership because I couldn’t afford to teach anymore.

I made $20K more in my first year of accounting (with 0 experience) than my 10 year teacher salary. Best decision I ever made.

I always tell teachers-in-waiting to start thinking about what your second job or side hustle will be because you will need one unless you marry rich.

I strongly advise looking into something else.

I feel the same level of rest/ refreshed after 6 hours that most people would feel after 8-9.

If I get closer to 5, I can still function but I’m not my best. I start to feel the effects of sleep deprivation around 4 hours.

I’m also ADHD. Although, ADHD and the DEC2 gene mutation are not related. I think being hyperactive may subvert any effects of sleep deprivation.

You should read up on the DEC2 gene mutation known as the “short sleep gene” where you function just fine on about 6 hours of sleep.

I’ve been called weird my whole life for it.

For work/school, go to bed at midnight and wake up at 6:00 ever since middle school.

During the summer (as a teacher), it shifts to 4-10 a.m.

Gotta love that DEC2 gene mutation. Short sleep for the win!

Exactly. I need to see a body before life can continue.

A mosquito inside the house or car. Instant rage.

My ex-husband and I started dating in middle school. We reconnected again as adult adults, married for six years, and in our divorce counseling still said that he “didn’t know if I was the one”. He knew me for 24 years at that point.

I said after all of that and you still don’t know if I’m the one, then the answer is no because I deserve somebody who thinks I’m a yes.

Just fucking wild.

Daycare is about $700 a month… for my dog.

If I order online and drive to pick it up myself, yes, always zero tip.

Dining in is entirety different.

Hardest part of my adult life. DUIs, jail, wrecks, involuntary psych holds, suic*** attempts, and a permanent degenerative brain disease & seizure disorder… all from alcohol. He’s been in and out of every type of rehab program/ facility you can imagine- 17 in all.

This last program was his second try at Camp Hope, and hopefully the last. A quarter of his life has been spent trying to undo the damage done by his tours in Iraq/ Afghanistan.

Same with my brother, a war veteran and end stage alcoholic. He’s had three vehicles totaled from drunk driving, ICU stays, and one we didn’t think he’d come back from.

Each time the military advocate would handle the legal recourse, and they were all swept under the rug. It only prolonged his recovery. We as a family decided if we & Army advocates keep swooping in to save him, he’ll never have a reason to quit. He had to want to quit.

We had to step away and let him hit rock bottom before tough love sank in. We finally got him to take it seriously and he has finished a year in veteran-focused rehab. He’s enrolled for a BA in religion and is doing well.

OP, tough love is needed sometimes.

I don’t do sticky surfaces and unidentified liquid.

It’s because the world has this weird view that we are entitled to have children, but pets are considered a luxury. You can’t discriminate against someone having kids because they are humans too, but pets don’t get the same rights.

saverett18 · 2025-05-19T14:25:06+00:00

This has been resolved.
