Between two advisors

I’ve seen a few posts in here about some mixed experiences with Creative Planning advisors. I’m going from self managed to an advisor as I’m no longer comfortable managing it all myself as my portfolio has grown, and I am between Creative Planning and McAdams. Comparable in almost every way so I am down to looking at personal experiences. Has anyone worked with either or both and feels strongly about one over the other? Appreciate any insight.

Not a conspiracy, just a question about BKs future plan

I fully believe BK did it, the other roommates are victims, etc. I was just thinking, so BK changed his car registration to Washington. However, when his Washington apartment was searched it was basically empty. Did he just not have a lot of stuff? There haven’t been any reports that he was moving. I’m just curious what his plan may have been if he hadn’t been arrested over holiday break. I mean realistically it doesn’t matter, plenty of people have their cars registered to a state they don’t technically live in and plenty of people just don’t own a lot of stuff, so it could be as simple as one of those explanations. And obviously he changed his registration right after the murders, so it was almost certainly an evasion tactic. But given his tumultuous last semester, I wonder if he was planning to live more secluded and farther from campus when he came back.

Idk. None of this is important. I was just watching the HBO doc and they emphasized him changing his registration and it reminded me of how empty they said his apartment was for some reason. Obviously none of us know, but I wasn’t sure if there was other speculation on this topic. I know a lot of people think he aspired to be a serial killer, but I think if that was his goal he seems like the type to have a long cooling off period.

Is my SOP prop healthy?

I started this prop in a Tupperware lid with cuttings from a string of pearls that I couldn’t keep alive. It’s grown a lot over the last few weeks. Still though, while the stems and roots all look healthy, some of the pearls don’t. There’s no rot, and most of it is thriving and growing well. I just don’t know if the few groups of darker, less plump pearls are worth leaving in to see if they bounce back or if I should remove them so they don’t hurt the rest of the plant. Like I said, the stems look healthy. No rot, no crunchy dry parts and no pests. The white blotches are from my fertilizer, I don’t love that it does that so I’m in the market for a new one (but that’s not related). I keep it in a full sun window all day, and whatever I’m doing is working for the most part! Just not for those few bunches. Should I remove them? Or do they just need time?

Any advice is appreciated!

Edit to add - the white bits look way rougher in the photo than in real life because I upped the exposure (it’s storming out so not super bright). Just reiterating it’s the fertilizer. I’ve tested it on several plants and for whatever reason it leaves that white residue. All of my plants and props are treated with systemic granules and they’re not pests. I know this for sure because in some of my tests I removed the white reside with alcohol on a swab and it crystallized like the fertilizer, rather than disintegrating like pests have when I had them in the past. I know it looks bad! Just trust me on this haha. It’s so wide spread because I thought adding fertilizer to my spray bottle would help it distribute, but instead it just made the whole thing look bad. Lesson learned

Update re really don’t want to work today

I made a post a few weeks ago about having some autoimmune issues and that combined with overall lack of motivation made it really hard to want to work. It continued. I’ve fallen very behind. That said, I did push for repeat labs and my hasimotos has gotten significantly worse, so I’m hoping some medication adjustments will help.

This is a good reminder that when you’re feeling off, pursue help with it. It could be mental, it could be physical, it could be both. Getting stuck in a rut is so hard because it feels impossible to dig out of, but with some answers I feel like I can finally stop the guilt I have for it and get myself moving again.

Thank you all for the support on my last post. If anyone wants to add any tips or tricks for dealing with hashimotos or just feeling unmotivated in general, feel free to add them to this post! I am new to hashimotos, only diagnosed in the last year and it’s kicking my butt.

Really don’t want to work today.

I’ve been feeling so sluggish and meh and unmotivated. I think my thyroid condition is partially to blame, but I also feel a bit of that senior-spring mindset where the weather turns warmer and I just don’t want to work. How do you all motivate to get stuff done when nothing else works?

I think it’s important that I add that in addition to Hashimotos, I also have ADHD and narcolepsy. So lots of things impacting my fatigue. I’m medicated though, so at this point it’s almost entirely a mindset thing versus an actual capability thing.

I’m going to take a walk in a few minutes to get some fresh air and see how that does. I’ve just not wanted to do anything lately. My entire house is a disaster of half-finished projects and dirty dishes and I just don’t feel like dealing with it! I need to though. I have meds, I have podcasts and audiobooks. I even have hard deadlines to give myself the sense of urgency. I think I just need motivation and/or someone to tell me off. So, in addition to camaraderie and tips, you’re also all welcome to tell me to get my shit together.
