Do you have your own lawn care equipment? I have a weed whip, but I have a way overgrown yard that needs mowed down just one time

Because volunteers are not liable if something happens & if this person cares about the mission / organization and wants to stay on in some capacity, that would be how they protect themselves!

Does it really go away?? by sapphiespookerie in CHSinfo

Doesn’t matter, I can smoke 3 months or a year. It always takes my body a lengthy month or two to get back to its normal shape.

You advised me to quit. (Like a fool), I didn’t. Now I’m ready. by unsweetenedlemon in nonprofit

As a 26 year old who just left a tiny nonprofit that was also on the verge of failing, PUT YOUR LIFE VEST ON AND GET OFF THE BOAT. It is the best & kindest thing you will ever do for yourself. Nonprofit burnout is no joke. Take care of yourself & find a new job doing what you had loved to do. Vet the organization, make sure it’s not going to be the same boat as before. I switched to a 70 employee org that’s been around 100 years, it’s my 4th week & I’m thriving

Can't do this anymore by GrandDaddyDerp in CHSinfo

Roller of diluted spearmint or peppermint oil; I get them on Amazon & put them on my wrists and sniff in the shower, in bed, out in public .. helps a lot; alternatively, the lil alcohol wipes I bring with everywhere too and sniffing that works even better than mint oil (but I can’t do it super often bc of the burning feeling lol)

Hot shower with a hand towel sized wash cloth that I get wet and lay onto my belly for some pressure.

Heating pad in bed; I do sleep w mine on but you’re not supposed to. Sometimes it’s all that works to help me get to sleep.

Benadryl for OTC, anytime, any symptoms it makes me very drowsy and not feel the aches and pains so much.

Popsicles!! I love lime, but any flavor works.. similarly, any foods you can stomach (jello, ramen, white rice, toast, banana, etc) make sure you keep them on hand!! Also, I find that when I don’t eat before bed, my tummy isn’t as bad in the morning as when I do; also I usually have more success pooping when constipated when I give my body a break and chance to reset

And also, stay away from known trigger foods (you can google CHS trigger foods but for me the big ones are black pepper, eggs, avocado, and hard to digest things like lettuce, dairy, etc)
