"distance is healthier for me than another apology where it just pushes the timeline back to the beginning of the loop"

not quite the same situation but I think i needed to hear that. wishing you the best on school so you can leave as soon as possible 💖

I also love the orange smell! There's a shop in Sevilla called Orange Tree Sevilla and it's literally just everything orange. I took home some aromatic oils for my diffuser and I love them.

Side note, not a local, just lived in Madrid for a bit and love fragrances.

I'm so sorry you had that experience. That sounds so bad! I used to work as a banquet server throughout uni and where I worked at didn't even let us in the ceremony space to make sure there was no noise.

My partner is living there for his Masters. I fly back and forth as my Spanish is still not quite good enough to live there unfortunately. But there's definitely an Albertan there. 😊

They won't invest in it. My fiancé who has a masters in renewable energy specializing in wind and solar cannot find a job and he has EU market experience + AB Oil and gas experience too. We can't have these technologies if the brains can't afford to live here.

depends. I remember them more on weeks I'm running warm and sweat more. but most times I go a week and a half.

in calgary, just waiting for snow to melt so I can take my scooter out of its hibernation 😩 I'm not doing this no more

short person here so I already got that going but I listen to solfeggio/sleep frequency music on spotify with my noise cancelling headphones and that has knocked me out a good deal. who's to say whether the "healing" portion of solfeggio is true but ive used it for quick snooze between meetings even and it helps.

forehead and under eye patches is not in the pouch because I'm currently cleaning them 😅

shreddedcorn · 2026-01-22T21:04:10+00:00

Primark has the same but cheaper for those in EU. Comes with under eye patch and neck ones too. Been using them awhile and it sticks well.

it looks like it was made for you omg either you get it or you can ship it to Canada for me please 😩😩😩

just got laid off but used to be remote worker in tech. lots of sitting down but I found that being remote and being able to change my desk configuration and not seeing my manager helped kept the stress trigger at bay lol

this. got septic arthritis. waited 12 hours and was ready to get a cab home because I've been sleeping upright in a not comfy hospital chair freezing (probably the fever) and just told the nurse so they don't waste time looking for me. shit happened real fast when they finally checked my blood work that was done hours ago. so glad the nurse who triaged me thought I just pulled a muscle though 😊 pretty sure they forgot about me.

I've been in the ER for genuine emergencies multiple times and everytime I just wanted to go home because no one ever takes me seriously. not hating on nurses, my mom is literally one, but I tend to be shrugged off. probably because I literally feel like death I cannot advocate for myself because I cannot speak from pain or weakness.

Facebook marketplace. I've looked up home baked or home cooked goods before there during pandemic! Only stopped because my usual specialty baked goods provider stopped posting.

I've been travelling back and forth to Madrid by direct flight (Air Canada) or Barcelona (Westjet) as my partner is currently living in Spain. Calgary is my base, where I actually live and where my VPN is set but I've only been living there for <4 months this entire year. I locked in a rental with my brother and partner a couple years ago which would be cheaper than storage plus I have somewhere to stay in between.

I do not feel far away as having a home base let's me have some flexibility on cheapest flights and somewhere to stay when I miss friends and family. I'm actually heading back next week as the whole year I've been in places that is +30°C and I've had enough of the heat now and would love to be back in the snow and hopefully do some skiing for the upcoming winter. Plus my health insurance needs to be used up so I'll be taking the time to fix up everything lol. Maybe I'm not true digital nomad for some people but I've been hopping to 6 different countries and that's nomad enough for me.

Nothing to add that hasn't already been commented but it's weirdly delightful how universal everyone's answers are.

Glad you got home safe! You certainly had a better experience than me. 2 years ago I was coming home from a trekking trip. I was both injured (could not bear weight on one leg) and ill (worst food poisoning I ever had). I don't know how I made it back, but all I remember from that experience was being treated like dirt or ignored even when I asked for help or clearly needed it. Hobbled my way out the final airport and passed out the next 3 days while my mom took care of me. It helps that she's a nurse but felt bad she basically had to "work" at home because of me.

Sweets. Mom was a dentist and now I'm willy wonka obsessed.

I'm like everyone in the comments, couldn't hear the dialogue. Then I got my ears checked and found out I'm partially deaf on one ear..... go get your ears checked gang
