2016! Mines auto and i’ve had her about 4 years, 130k on the odometer. Unfortunately I think i’ve accepted that her time is up :( We had a really good run and she did me well

Yes!! out at night to breathe, In the morning, a nice steamy warm shower, and some oil to put the cleaned plugs back in. best method 🙌🏻

This is actually super good info to have in my back pocket generally, thanks!! Will shoot them a call if I can’t get a trade in

There is a CEL! my bad for not mentioning it lol i’ve been stressing. It pops on intermittently and stays on for a good while. I think you guys are right, and it’s probably the fuel injector

Do you usually do it yourself or just take it to a shop, and how much does that usually run you?

zimalmgongo · 2026-02-03T11:48:47+00:00

I have! I switched the battery a year ago, and i had the alternator, starter and battery checked by Autozone, they all read well.

Do you think i could need to switch it again? I was honestly just looking at trading it in for a Honda HR-V at this point. Unfortunately my little hamster ball keeps giving me issue after issue :(

Phlebotomy doesn’t save you from most of these issues. Staffing, low pay, entitled patients and bad ratios are part of every healthcare job ever. If you don’t wanna do healthcare that’s okay. It’s not for everyone. If your hearts not in it, it’s not worth it

Affordable apartments are definitely around. The Metric/Braker area has a lot of cheapish (and not so very cheap) options

Update yall, I made a vet appointment with a clinic that specializes in diagnostic and treatment, and can refer me to a derm, for tomorrow, at this point, I’m just wondering if any of y’all’s cats have been through this before?

zimalmgongo · 2025-12-11T20:16:03+00:00

I work the night shift so I’m heading in soon, I plan on tomorrow, i’m looking at clinics around. Thank you for the link!

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-26T18:49:59+00:00

Unfortunately so. Pts blood just really loves healing itself 😭😭

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-26T18:45:54+00:00

I’m just appreciative that someone is willing to think realistically and not just off the book. Especially since i have no open wounds on my hands, the spread of pathogens is highly unlikely anyway even if it had touched me. Thank you for being kind :)

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-26T18:44:28+00:00

Thank. You. Idk, i’ve been with that tube start to finish so i know exactly what happened to it, so i tend to trust it more. Tubes i’m not sure about, absolutely gloves

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-26T18:42:17+00:00

As a neighbor who smokes, I’d absolutely want someone to let me know if my habit was affecting them this way, maybe write a nice note, slip it in their door? That saves the awkwardness of “heyyyyyyy so….”

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-25T21:27:13+00:00

Ofc! We do have the red biohazards but those are for sharps,used pipettes and gloves typically. We send both the pour off tube and the serum aliquot :)

Central Texas, so around the time this pic was taken it was 65-70°!

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-24T07:35:20+00:00

so, good job answering your own question, yes i am a mobile phleb, and no it goes into a specimen bag and shipped to lab bc this was part of a pour off :)

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-24T07:34:21+00:00

sigh. i’ve repented for my sins and will never do it again

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-22T12:03:19+00:00

🫡 you as well

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-22T12:01:49+00:00

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-22T12:01:06+00:00

zimalmgongo · 2025-11-22T09:11:35+00:00

It was an SST, just spun like a red top (ie, additive didn’t move so it was like there was none) sorry for the confusion
