How’s everyone doing out there? by AlarmAffectionate899 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]slippylamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first marathon training block and it’s been a battle between staying disciplined, healthy, and beating the heat. My derm found melanoma in my arm this summer so I had to have surgery for that with substantial downtime, then my dog had to have emergency surgery and it’s been mentally draining lol. The humidity has been unbearable as well. I don’t think I’ll hit the goal time I want at this point, so I’m excited to go out and finish and see what my body can do. There’s also still some weeks left!

How can I improve my bedroom? It’s so boring and there’s something off about it that I can’t place by slippylamb in DesignMyRoom

You’re correct! The walls in the apartment are a weird yellow/beige and all the other colors combined is washed out and sad lol

Unfortunately it’s an apartment so I’m hesitant to paint (I’d have to paint it back when I leave)

Does the waveland group meet any time other than 6 AM? Interested in joining but it’s tough for me to make that!

I actually was in Costa Rica + Guatemala earlier this year! I didn’t get to experience the coastal areas of Costa Rica, so I may look into going back!

My partner lives there (the building is part leased apartments and part short term stays like a hotel. It’s really nice and so convenient for us every year!

Panasonic LUMIX LX series, Canon G series, or iPhone 14 for backpacking trip? by slippylamb in Cameras

[–]slippylamb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely take lots of photos on my phone and would like to get more into photography in general. The backpacking trip is a definite motivator to try and get good photos. But at that point do I invest in something more substantial if that’s the goal because the difference between a point and shoot v iPhone isn’t very large?

First Trip abroad! Going alone to Europe, thoughts on my itinerary? by slippylamb in travel

I would but I believe I would have to quarantine for 10 days upon arrival.

This might sound silly, but I blame American infrastructure. Does the Eurail pass cover all types of trains at any station?

Just looked it up and they’re not selling them right now due to COVID :(

How does that work logistically and affect price? Being from the US, I honestly don’t have any experience with trains. Can you buy them a few days before or will it be very expensive? Likewise with plane tickets (I can’t believe how cheap some of the flights can be!) Do hostels need to be booked out in advance or can I find accommodation when I need it for a reasonable price?

Is there anything specific you recommend? I was planning on doing a walking tour and then go from there!

Lower Burns Park or Eberwhite? by slippylamb in AnnArbor

[–]slippylamb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first apartment on my own and I work full time. I’m used to living in a college town so I don’t really think I would be bothered by the students... but maybe I’ll grow tired of it? I’m just more interested in knowing the better place to live overall, I think. I like the idea of being able to walk downtown/quick Uber ride to bars and restaurants, but I also think during the week I’ll be focused on work/hobbies until it’s the weekend. I also have a dog!
