Cleaners good at dealing with cat messes!

Hello all! I'm moving out of my place in a few weeks and my landlord is requiring us to pay for a professional cleaning before the new tenants arrive

I have 2 cats, one with kidney problems/an iffy bladder who even though I clean and treat the spots immediately there is still some mild staining on the hardwood, and the other one is very prone to throwing up so same problem

I was wondering if y'all knew of/had any recommendations for cleaners who are good at helping with this, if not I'll look on cleaning reddit to see what to do

Regardless any cleaners y'all like would be greatly appreciated!!! We're by UT

Apartments with low pet fees!

Hello all!!!

I'm moving to Houston in August for a major life change and am looking at places (I know I should've looked sooner the move just sort of fell into my lap) and I'm wondering if there are any places with low pet fees/rent that are good to live?

I've been looking for places but the move in amount sometimes almost triples the rent, especially because they charge per pet

Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Preferably by the museum district but I'm fine commuting!!!

I've got 2 kitties, the black cat is 13 and the siamese mix is 11 :^)

My second rosary! Memento Mori

Hello!! I posted earlier this week after making my first ever rosary for my boyfriend as he delves into the Catholic faith

The first one felt like colors he likes, but the sparkliness of it all was more up my alley

I'd seen a few memento mori rosaries on this sub and thought it would probably be more his speed (those skulls were so hard to work with!!!)

The meaning of a memento mori rosary feels more impactful, we connected early on about the losses of our fathers and how precious each moment is with ourselves, each other, family and God

I decided to keep the little sparkly angel for the center because it matches the first one, and it is his birth stone!

Let me know what y'all think!! It only took me a little over 3 hours this time as opposed to the 4 and a half for the first! Looking forward to making my next (which I think I'm going to make around St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the saint of my home parish, as I'm moving to a new city very soon and will miss her guidance)

My First Rosary/Prayer Beads!

Hello all!! I recently joined the Catholic faith this past easter and have been blessed with a hand made rosary and chaplet from my aunt, and a separate rosary from my (step) grandmother

My boyfriend has been interested in the Catholic faith (we met shortly after I started my journey into the faith myself) but is not yet Catholic

We have prayed the rosary many times together and he says he always feels better after praying (which I do too!!) however he doesn't have his own yet

My work got in some pretty bracelets from market and the colors just felt right for him, I used a little angel for the center because I don't know where to find the actual centers and I used a little cross charm with a heart to remind him of my love, and obviously Jesus' love for him too

Let me know what y'all think!!! It is a little wonky (I think it'll only get better with practice) but I'm pretty proud of it!! It took me 4 hours and 37 minutes with no breaks :^)

(P.S. ignore the dog hair on the couch, I'm visiting my mom's)

Need help figuring out things other than buttons to add

Hello everyone!!!! I recently came across this sub and have become fascinated with Ita bags and want to take a crack at my own!! I'm having a hard time figuring out what to add other than buttons (circular heart and square) to the inside of the window

I've already got a few plushie keychains I plan for the outside as well

I've seen some bags have keychain-like images on a clear plastic and was wondering what those were! Any and all help would be recommended! Thanks very much!!!

My bag is a backpack with 2 panels, dedicated to my fiancé (after seeing the surgeon bag I thought it would be a cute idea!)

Long Distance relationship

Tw: vomit

​

I (22f) have been dating my boyfriend (24m) for over a year now, we have a very long distance relationship (I'm American, he's Australian and is in Australia) and have seen each other 3 times in person on 2 week trips (he's been here twice and I've been there once)

​

I've been in CoDA for over a year now and my codependency is significantly better than it has been in any of my previous relationships, I have genuine love and trust for him and I know that it is reciprocated. I don't feel the need to constantly question his affection for me, and he's never done anything at all to question his loyalty or motives.

​

He was just here but left yesterday morning to go back home. Since then I've been in agonizing pain (physically and emotionally) and have been crying off and on since. He messaged me that he felt like he was just waiting for me to get back home from work (waiting for his next flight) and I've just been inconsolable since. It got so bad that when I woke up this morning I made myself throw up in order to avoid going to work (I work retail, and am known for being very friendly and chipper) because even leaving the house is just too intense.

​

Luckily my cat has been hanging out with me all day (she also threw up on my pillow/bed this morning, maybe in solidarity) and it's been nice having her but it's just been complete agony. I've eaten hardly anything and haven't had anything to drink. It's just too hard. I don't know what to do. I miss him so terribly (he's landed and can message me now so it's a bit better but it's still so painful)

​

I made him watch the first twilight movie with me when he was here, maybe we should watch New Moon because I feel like Bella after Edward left. Maybe that will be too painful. I felt bad after he left the first time and when I went home but it's never been this painful. I love him too much.

​

Unsure what the point of this post was, maybe to get it off my chest or who knows. I know codependency is something I've struggled with my whole life but this is just agony. Thanks for listening/reading
