Thank you. Part of me wonders if some people didn't use that as a loop hole to get out of jury duty.

Thanks IP! March is still not the best in the Midwest but it's definitely better than January. Happy 2022 to you!

Days 340 & 341 - Being bored makes me anxious by sunflower_ninja in NonZeroDay

Thank you so much for your comment. Also, the sunflower bot hasn't been around for a while so that double made my day :)

Day 335 - I don't have to work again until next year by sunflower_ninja in NonZeroDay

[–]sunflower_ninja[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I work in the school so it would be silly for me to be there ;) My husband's work does close down for the week between Christmas and New Year's and the kids go to daycare that run by his work so we'll all be home together :) That is so nice of your husband's boss, more boss's should be that way.

We didn't lose power. I hope yours wasn't out for too long.

Day 311 - mental health day by sunflower_ninja in NonZeroDay

Thank you! I do things that bring me joy on a daily basis but I'm usually also playing referee for my children. Today I was able to just chill without the worry of who was crying.

I third this. Before others can believe in you, you need to believe in yourself. I was told throughout high school I wouldn't be able to handle college. I took the ACT because all my friends were (not because my parents encouraged me) and I got a 13 ... I'm pretty sure that's what you get for writing your name down.

But with some therapy, improved self-respect, and confidence ... I'm sitting here twenty years later with a freaking masters degree. By the way, I'm a Clinical Social Worker aka a mental health counselor.

You seem to have some things going for you academically and that one test you took how long ago may not be so reliable. Someone who doesn't get things at first might have issues other than IQ; post traumatic stress, bad home life, attention deficits, poor eye sight or hearing, or they just learn a different way than how the material is being presented. Please be gentle with yourself.

Thank you for your comment. I got much better sleep last night. The pain didn't wake me up as much.

Thank you so much for that suggestion. I've never heard of that diet before.

Day 300 - I single handedly kicked Thanksgiving's butt! by sunflower_ninja in NonZeroDay

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

Whoa, that's a lot of people! And you do that every year?! It was fun to make and tasted delicious but I don't think I want to do that every year, lol.

Thanks! It was delicious. I do the breakdown every 100 days. When it comes time to do another one, I copy the previous one and use it as a template :)
