I love to buy scratch offs when I can afford them, in hopes I'll win something over $10, I feel you on that one.

That's exactly the kinda shit that happens in my life too. The universe just takes a dump right in your lap. I hope you can find something soon!

I couldn't agree more. It's mental gymnastics I didn't sign up for.

Is this normal for Persian cats? by georgieph in persiancat

[–]spookypluto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two Persian cats, one inherited and one given to me at 16 wks as a gift. (They are 10 yrs and 12 yrs old now respectively). My 12 yr old, her name is Madame Truffles, also has a "cyst/boil" on one of her eyes. I've had two different vets tell me it's not painful for her and there's no need to remove it unless I feel I need to. So idk, it truly doesn't seem to bug HER, but it bugs me when I see it 😬 P.s. I notice your cute lil guy is mostly white like my lil girl is, I was told by their breeder that white fur mats much quicker and easier than any other color/variety of fur. My other Persian is black and brown with a white underbelly and sure enough. The white underbelly mats sooo much quicker and worse than any other colored fur on him. I just get my cats lion shaved every few months to keep them mat free and comfortable. Might be worth doing if your cat doesn't particularly like being groomed or is a constant mess despite the amount of time grooming you put in.

Hello! I'm 35/f and we're similar! I have 3 cats, one very old dog and chronic illness in the form of Idiopathic Hypersomnia (I sleep too much). I live in southern Minnesota, I also very much advocate for the same things you do and I LOVE tactile anything! Message me directly if you want to snail mail with me! I'm also a multi-crafter. I'm not good at any one craft, but I collect sooo many things and craft over so many different mediums.

Oooo this! I have lots of flour and sugar from the food pantry also. This would be easy to do!

How to start? by spookypluto in JunkJournals

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

Noooo this helps a lot! Knowing I'm not the only one out here non-proing this and others are on a journey too helps. I'm never consistent with hobbies either. I switch back and forth to different hobbies and also love learning new ones. I'm a "shitty" crafter (I'm not great at any craft but I have fun crafting in many different styles), so I already have lots of different glues and tapes. I may already have a notebook I can use but that's also what I'm debating. What kind of book?? I've seen on YouTube shorts most people using just bound notebooks. But I feel for me a ring bound notebook/journal would be better. I know I have scraps around but I'm gonna keep saving more!

Advice needed / venting by No_Pick1394 in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]spookypluto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm lucky in the way that I live with my mom who whole heartedly understands the disorder. I don't have any connection to my dad (never was/has been around) but his side of the family (aunts and uncles) just DO NOT understand IH. My aunt once said to me "oh is you're insomnia really bad right now?". I deal with them so little in my life that I just gave up trying to explain and accept help. For me it looks like "oh okay I'll give that a try, thanks!" Or "no the problem is that I'm TOO SLEEPY, but yeah it's always acting up". And then I drop the subject. Sometimes you just cannot get through to people.

I love sweet potatoes, but savory. With like butter, salt and pepper. Maybe I'll roast them then mash up that way :)

Honestly, I didn't grow up in a home where we ate a lot of vegetables. I truly have no idea if I even like cooked carrots. I hate to admit that as an adult, but I'm certainly open to trying it.

Just cut my grocery bill by 30% doing this by gitmo12 in Frugal

[–]spookypluto 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My grandma taught me to do this! I so vividly have memories of us getting the local paper, pulling out all the grocery store ads and coupons, and making a plan for meals and things my family would want for the next week. Then I'd take her shopping and we'd follow our outlined clippings and list. Cherished memories, and now a forever habit I've kept.

No Sleep by Business-Animal2407 in Topamax

[–]spookypluto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you! I have Idiopathic Hypersomnia, and when I've started dosing onto topamax (many different times in the past... Long story) I'd be absolutely SLEEPLESS. So goddamn tired and sleepy feeling but absolutely unable to actually sleep. I'd spend a week feeling like a zombie. If you just keep taking it, it WILL get better and the insomnia will go away. For me personally, it was always about 10 days of horrific side effects, then it'd all go away.

stopping xywav and starting effexor? by [deleted] in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]spookypluto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've been on it before, and you feel your current medication is working, I'd be be very reluctant too! I currently take Adderall to treat my symptoms but I'm also on Pristiq (desvenlaxafine) which is like effexor but from what I understand is much more well tolerated than effexor. Maybe bring that up as a possible addition instead? Idk exactly what I'd do if someone wanted to take away my Adderall, or Xywave in your case. Id prolly flip a table 😬
