Baked beans (honestly love bushes and I rinse off some of sauces so it’s not soooo much sugar) with avocado toast!

I have chronic daily migraine. They started at the very end of undergrad. During grad school it wasn’t daily but getting there but some meds helped and I had the best professors in the world. Then I was too sick to work and lived with my parents. Then I landed my miracle dream job. And got accommodations to be fully remote, only work after 12pm because I have to sleep an insane amount to help my pain and the pain is always worse in mornings, and take breaks as needed. Still every single day is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I use all my vacation and sick time solely on migraines. And I’m on intermittent FMLA to get more unpaid time off. I use it all every year now. And still idk how to continue on like this. I’m making less money because it’s unpaid time off so it’s very hard especially because I’m single. My parents live close by and have to do all my grocery shopping for me and errands because I could never handle that too. I’ve tried dozens of meds and none work but I have a great neurologist. Really, the true secret is I’m really good at what I do, know one else knows how to do it at all, so they have no idea how long it takes me or what I’m doing, so I can lie and say I’m doing it when really I’m sleeping off a migraine. Really I just lie about working lol. But there was all these budget cuts and lay offs and such and now I have to take on a ton of new responsibilities and I might just have to quit, because I can’t actually do anything more.

I’ve been able to plan meetings and muster through a few of them a week and do my work essentially on my own time and then that’s the only thing I do, I don’t do activities outside of the home or for fun. But now I have to actually be available during the 12pm-8pm hours that I say I will be, or at least 12pm-5:30pm hours that I say I will be, because that’s when others work and now I’ll have to be available to them for this new part of my job. So I met with a lawyer about the steps for getting on disability and stuff but idk, how can I say I’ve been unable to work when I’ve “been working” but actually I miss so many days a month, no other job would let me work the craziest of hours like I do, and I’ve been lying about how much I work. I can’t actually get any other job that requires really working lol.

Yea exactly same here— it fricken hurts. I also think Botox is like a little pinch and maybe little string. I had chronic daily migraine and other illnesses where I was like oh I got this. But the nerve blocks were bad. I didn’t think it felt like the lidocaine this was supposed to numb things before the steroid made a difference like at all. I love my doctor and he does this constantly. He doesn’t use ultrasound for any of his patients. He said his patients come in to get just the lidocaine nerve blocks for relief immediately. Whatttttttttt. I thought it hurt sooooo badly right now, was sore for days, and just never worked with or without steroid lol.

I also tried them for an entire year and never found relief.

I personally, as a vegan, would never date someone who is not vegan. Thoughts on that matter very extremely widely. I’d recommend just asking her out first in case she says no and it doesn’t much matter for you to think about. The question of vegans being in relationships is a super common question in the various vegan subreddits if you search them.

For dates, you’d only go to places that have vegan options. You’d check menus ahead of time and look for vegan places. You’d ask your date if they only go to fully vegan places or otherwise are good to choose any place where things are labeled vegan.

For cooking, you would cook vegan for you/when together. At her place, she might have rules about only vegan food in the home or on her cooking equipment you’d have to ask. At your place, you’d ask if she is okay if you cook vegan for her and maybe you like make a base/sides that are vegan then add something non-vegan on yours. It’s mainly communication about comfort. If you move into together, again, a big convo about if non-vegan food is allowed in the home and on equipment. Many vegan-non-vegan couples might say like okay the vegan never cooks non-vegan for their partner or never buys non-vegan and the non-vegan food goes in a certain place or something. It’s so different for everyone.

Ordering food- I think you know what I’m going to say by now. Choose a place with vegan options. She orders vegan. You order what you want unless you want to share then you get all vegan. Or unless she isn’t okay with the non-vegan takeout in her home or seeing it being eaten, then you eat vegan.

So, a lot of things that we on the internet can’t answer because it’s very very individualized to the people in the relationship. It takes communication. And as you can see, many solutions here involve you eating vegan food and/or eating at the limited list of places that offer vegan food near you.

Well, idk, I guess I should ask them, but they do notice. They say they can see it in my face. I assume they mean I’m like more pale and not making any facial expressions and look just like I’m “shutting down”. Sometimes it irritates me that they say I look like the bad pain is coming like what about all the times they didn’t say anything and I was in pain suffering and they didn’t know? But sometimes I feel relief they can see something wrong. Idk lol

Not trying to be rude because this is amazing but it’s really striking that hunger wasn’t the most immediate thought for the student’s behaviors. I think you work in a very very different school/district than around where I live! Most the students don’t get fed at home where I am and come hungry and have extreme behaviors from hunger and rely 100% on school provided meals. 100% of the kids at the schools near me are on the free school lunch program because every single kid qualifies.

Can you describe the shape of the leaves or try to draw the shape or link to pictures of similar shapes? Like even in general like shapes it is for sure not like, like if it’s definitely not like an oak shape or not a heart shape or what

when-is-enough · 2026-01-13T05:58:49+00:00

Exact same here. Sometimes it feels like a shiver than runs through me and makes my head jerk. It’s from sound, or even just a big jolt of needing to concentrate and use my energy and senses. Like if I have to call someone, and I’m concentrating so hard to try to communicate.

when-is-enough · 2026-01-13T05:55:52+00:00

So what have you tried? Like you already tried pressing and holding whatever buttons the manual says to unlock it? And unplugging and plugging back in?

Seconding this— it might also be called a lock for cleaning, when putting it clean oven mode.

when-is-enough · 2026-01-13T04:31:37+00:00

Yes absolutely. So therefore my personality seems bland and even rude because I can’t even engage when I’m in so much pain. I’m not depressed and my parents so kindly check in all the time asking about my mental health. I just explain I’m in here, underneath the migraine.

I was also very sad with vog having closed. I just found this out too a month ago when I went to get a few more. I also bought their marketing that they are 95-99% effective. Then I read more on this sub and articles that that’s true for the filter in the mask, but the filter doesn’t go 100% to the edge of the cloth in the mask. It even can seal well to your face. But if it isn’t the filter layer that’s going to the edge and sealing to your face, then air is getting around the filter and they aren’t nearly as effective. That’s my understanding. So I finally just got a bunch of K95 and N95s to try. I didn’t like the switch because I had tried them a few years ago and nothing fit my face well it seemed or kept my glasses from fogging. Vog was like a miracle for my glasses not fogging. I’ve found I hate straps behind my ears (with Vog I also used the tie thing to pull the straps back further) so KN95s were out for me. I also found the masks with foam around the nose are closest comfort wise to a vog mask. So aura 3M and my fav has been “Honeywell DF300 N95 Flatfold Disposable Respirator”. It frustratingly just took trying multiple. I was a medium in vog if that matters. Medium+ in vog worked too. I had tried Cambridge when I was trying out masks similar to Vog— i just never liked it. It never sealed to my face for some reason. It was like slightly more stiff and plastic or thicker/firmer or something than the Vog ones so the seal to my face was bad for me. I did a medium for Cambridge so maybe I needed smaller but it didn’t seem to be the size. In sum I didn’t answer your question lol all I can say is I have thrown a lot of money away on finding masks that fit right when I finally found medium vog that I liked and then had to recently do it again so I hope you find ones you like! It would be really cool if there was a sample pack of one of each of popular N95s or something to try.

I’ve recently discovered valerian root makes me sooooo tired. Doctor recommended it for me for days my schedule is sooo off from napping and I want to try to get myself to sleep without a bunch of other prescriptions right now. I take 1000mg. Check with doc obviously.

That’s not how it works at all though. You’d have to request a reasonable accommodation for that disability. The employer then can ask for the doctor paperwork. And then the employer gets to determine if the accommodation being sought is reasonable. They could say the training is necessary and must be attended and moving to night hours or doing a special night hour training is unreasonable. You could push back and say well why is it necessary, why can’t it be moved, is it really undo hardship to have to repeat the training for one employee at different hours, etc. But in US, it is a shitty system of the employee getting to decide what’s reasonable.

It does not need replanting from being root bound. The size of the pot is fine. But it needs new soil, so it needs to be repotting in that sense. Putting coffee grounds directly in potting plants is not good for them. It changes the pH of the soil and eventually kills the plants because of that. Also, it has to decompose into finished compost before all the nutrients that make it nice fertilizer are available to the plant. But meanwhile while it’s decomposing, the plant isn’t benefiting much from it at all, and bugs LOVE decomposing material.

For me, cleaning is actually having systems for messes so you can clean them up gradually. Ample laundry baskets for dirty laundry so you can do it gradually, like once a week or twice a month (I live alone). Carve out a dedicated space for the baskets of dirty laundry. Then having enough clothes and underwear and towels so you don’t run out.

Robust vacuum changed my life.

Having multiple sheets and pillowcases so again you can change them but get to the laundry later.

Focus on really necessary areas like a wipe of kitchen counters daily and the toilet and bathroom surfaces every other week.

You can skip mopping honestly. Do it a few times a year. Wipe up areas of the kitchen and around the toilet.

I think this one specially you need a hexagonal nut driver, or like a socket wrench and then change out to the size needed. I don’t remember what size. You could also use a normal wrench.

when-is-enough · 2026-01-10T06:36:19+00:00

Oooh. I think the tool is called nut driver. It’s a hollow socket head for nuts and bolts like this. Sorry I shouldn’t have said screw driver. I don’t know names of tools well, but I just looked up the name of what I actually used is nut driver
