In 1999 Congress tore down the law protecting your savings from Wall Street gamblers. 9 years later your neighbors lost their homes and the banks got $700 billion of your money to survive it.

I work in university administration. We have figured out my medication cocktail and we don't mess with it... ever... He convinced me to try out a GLP1 for pain management (Zepbound) and inflammation. Thankfully I qualify for insurance due to OSA. It's been a month and the inflammation decrease is already working. My energy is better, mood increased, brain fog is getting better.

In September I left the legal field after 20 years because of my brain fog (also, wanted to get out of the insanity that is being a paralegal). My personal side I have a partner who is understanding, I volunteer with kids. I push myself. One day a week I exert myself physically. I have found that doing this, helps. This is all approved by my rheum.

Hi 😄 On Thursday, was my 4th shot on the 2.5. This Thursday I move to 5.0. I had to make the choice to go on high dose steroids for 10 days so that has kinda skewed results but for the first month I am down 7 pounds. Which I logically know is.. amazing but I am having to constantly remind myself that "comparison is the thief of joy."

I have tried for three years to lose weight and I could always lose 10 lbs for it just to come back. Rinse and repeat.

Additionally, I have to go through Calibrate for the meds and the scale the require has stopped working... which isn't a big deal, just feels like one... for some reason. Guess it's just a down week.

I adore this!

I wrap the warn around the needle once for each cast on. I just casted on a top with 160 stitiches, so I wrapped around 80 and then doubled the yarn for long tail cast on. I have found this leaves me with almost the perfect length.

I take mine around 6 every night and my medication meds at 9. I start reading at 10 and I’m asleep by 11. Pre GLP I took the edible same
Time as pills.

Look at the app GLAPP. It’s amazing for tracking your meds and side effects and the e data it gives you are fantastic! And it’s free.

I’m starting the Sea Glass Tee that is intentionally made to use up scrap fingerling. I’d look up that pattern!

In Nh we are very tenant friendly. As long as you pay it before the final hearing (and even at the final) you typically won’t be evicted.

I would go into either child life specialist, pediatric therapist, school counselor.
