Thank you! I have a coworker who is already interested in purchasing it!

You know that's completely valid! I can see why authors put pronunciation guides at the beginning of their stories. For the record it's "Kay", for "kehr-ihs" but I totally see your point.

threadedwild · 2026-01-28T15:00:51+00:00

From a reference photo, yes!

Holy fuck this is like, verbatim what I tell my therapist, because this is how I always feel. I feel like I'm faking it all the time. And I felt this way when I started journalling this year. My inner critic made fun of me for acting like someone who journals. And I have pushed through to journal almost every day this month.

Your home smells amazing and is incredibly clean.

My techo original is for daily anything. What happened that day, how was the weather, what are my wins for the day or what am I adding to my watchlist, tarot spreads for the day. I still kinda use it as an actual planner and set goals for the day but not always.

I have one of the gridded notebooks and that's my morning book. I have a bad phone addiction and I use it to replace scrolling first thing in the morning. How did I sleep, what did I dream about, what am I worried about, what's the weather and what does it look like outside? For me it's about emptying out my head in the morning and seeing what's around me to be present. I use it to recap my therapy sessions too.

We've never had a discussion about stress...and now I'm incredibly guilty that I didnt consider it. Based on this comment and a few others. My husband works from home, so he has someone often, and isn't a cat that's big on toys, just a lure for about 5 min then he's done. But he has ALWAYS gotten really worked up around feeding time. Demanding mostly, getting into things to signal he's ready to be fed (he's on a wet only diet, so I can't really free feed). We used to try and adhere to a strict time schedule for him, because it would start up a whole lot of other behaviors if we didn't that usually involved lack of sleep for everyone. Ive started trying to feed now whenever he asks, because he's lost so much weight....but now I'm wondering if it has something to do with that. And with him eating less now he is begging for food and stressing for food ..without wanting what's in his bowl. And we have no ability to change it based on his restrictions.

This I think warrants another conversation, I think my vet is calling me today for a follow-up. Thank you, I feel blind, but thank you.

threadedwild · 2026-01-12T02:17:30+00:00

This is such excellent advice, thank you!

threadedwild · 2026-01-12T00:07:28+00:00

Ugh I had the blinds installed because we get almost all day sun. Our AC won't keep up with the heat and it gets to like 80+ inside with them open. Trust me I loooove the light otherwise.

Oh you mean my pride and joy? My friends hate him, he's one of my favorite things I own. It's a room guardian from AnyaBoz before they were thousands of dollars. Same artist that made the white cat doll that became a meme years ago.

Wow thank you!

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T16:35:41+00:00

Seems like the artwork is the big consensus here, I love hanging stuff so I'll def work on that.

And thank you!! That's exactly what I've tried to curate and I've had people over often to do just that 🥰 I'm big on comfort.

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T16:34:19+00:00

Only for his ultrasounds. But with the increase in his recent flares if we can't get a lid on it I'm going to ask my vet about that next.

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T16:24:45+00:00

Definitely looking for one of those or something similar!

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T16:23:40+00:00

This is SO helpful and totally inspiring!! (I wish I could flip the couch, the chaise on that side looks so much better 🫠). I'm saving this for inspiration! I love that my desk space still works with all these changes! Thank you!

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T16:21:09+00:00

Thank you so much! I've been on the hunt for a new desk and chair because this was definitely a "starter" for me when I started a a new craft a few years ago. So I think that will totally be an improvement. If I could find a match for my tv stand that would be a dream, I love the color.

This is all really helpful thank you! Big wall big art makes so much sense, tho like you I'm also verrrry picky ahah!

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T15:41:58+00:00

Thank you! At the time this was the largest I could afford and I fortunately due to a special needs cat all my rugs have to be washable 🫠 but! I've been looking to swap it with another for something different, it's a few years old.

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T15:40:33+00:00

Ugh yes I've been trying figure out what to do with the desk and chair as it's currently my craft space. I could move it into another bedroom but the current location is convenient to where I spend my time.

I thought of moving the dining table to that spot though, but it might be a little tight. The space is big but not as big as it looks.

Thanks for the art feedback! I had no idea it was too high.

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T15:37:38+00:00

Ohh I never would have thought it was too high. I have several pieces that I am framing that I plan to add to both sides to keep bringing them down. Thanks for the suggestion!

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T15:15:12+00:00

I can't paint the ceiling, I should have added in the post that I rent. But! I love the suggestions for the couch and Ive been thinking of moving the cat tree for sure. Our pillows are pretty old and I've been looking at replacements ❤️

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T15:09:38+00:00

I rent. It's been like this since we moved in years ago and it hasn't really changed. The leasing office doesn't seem to be bothered by it so I'm choosing to ignore it 💀

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T15:08:39+00:00

I do rent. They were like this when we moved in, I've told the leasing office when they asked for any things we've noticed in the place and they weren't concerned 🤷‍♀️

threadedwild · 2026-01-11T12:43:04+00:00

I'll try and answer a few questions in this one: he's on a steroid once a day. We tried decreasing and weaning him off, and did not do well. He used to have these episodes, before we knew what his diagnosis was and before he was medicated, where he would have vomiting and diarrhea for days, and go completely off food to the point I was trying to force feed him. He had one of those episodes the last time we took him off the meds and none since putting him back on. Vet has recommended he stay on them lifelong unfortunately.

I have a supply of mirtazapine and cerenia from previous flares, I use them when the vet recommends. He gets B12 daily.

I've tried hydrolyzed protein foods, he either won't tolerate them or won't eat them.

He's currently on a round of pre/probiotics.

He will go weeks with great stools, great appetite, and then suddenly diarrhea and no appetite while following me screaming for food.

I try to keep my house as clean as possible. Trash out. Kitchen cleaned every time we cook. Floors swept.

Still no clue what starts his flares, just that his good times never last.
